The pentacle is a sacred symbol of protection.

The pentacle has five points, and the number five is a potent magical number.

The Encyclopedia of Freemasonry writes of the pentacle: - In the science of magic the pentalpha is called the holy and Mysterious pentagram. ...the pentagram in the star of Magians; ...by virtue of the number five, it has great command over evil spirits because of its five double triangles and its five acute angles within and its five obtuse angles without, so that this interior pentangle contains in it many great mysteries. - (Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, pp.762-763.)
The Pentacle can be traces by to Ancient Greece and the time of Pythagoras (586 - 506 BCE), who he and his followers after being driven underground used the secret symbol of the pentacle to recognize one another. And thus the Freemasons can trace their roots to the time of Pythagoras and the use of the pentacle symbol.

The pentacle in a circle represents containment and control of magic. The pentacle when shown implies discipline of magic and respect of forces beyond our understanding.

The points of the pentacle represent spirit (at the apex), fire, water, earth, and air.

The Gnostics (early Christians) respects the pentacle and referred to it as the Blazing Star.

Later yet still early Christians related the five points of the pentacle to the five wounds of Christ, and considered it a holy symbol.

Druids used the symbol of the pentacle to describe the orders of the dieties.

The Egyptians used the pentacle symbol to denote fertility rites and represent the birth of everything.

The Celts used the pentacle to represent the Goddess of the Underground, Morgan - Morrigan.

The Roman Emperor Constantine (the same guy who made Christianity a state religion of Rome) used the pentacle in his official seal. Constantine also wore the pentacle as an amulet.

Sir Gawain, nephew of King Arthur, used the pentacle on his shield. The pentacle represented the five virtues of Knighthood, generosity, courtesy, chastity, chivalry and piety.

Early Christians like Constantine use the pentacle as an amulet for protection.

The pentacle is NOT a symbol of evil!! The pentacle during the burning times somehow became associated with witchcraft and an assumption that all followers of the craft worshiped Baphomet and the inverted pentacle. Prior to the burning times the Christians widely used the symbol of the pentacle and revered it.

The symbol of the pentacle is simplicity yet connectivity to all. We offer many options to use the pentacle on our wood craft.
