The Pentacle, a five-pointed star encircled by a ring, is a potent symbol in witchcraft, embodying protection and the elemental forces that sustain life. Each point of the star represents one of the five elements - Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit. The enclosing circle serves as a protective barrier and signifies the interconnectedness of these elements, underlining the intrinsic unity of the natural world and spiritual realm.
