Through the centuries, Wicca practitioners and Witches (also known as Pagans) have always used symbols for many things, such as rituals, enchantments, ceremonies and in daily life. There are many different symbols, with many different meanings and contents, each symbol has a fundamental meaning, but they also mean several other things and represent different feelings and effects for different people. Below are the fundamental meanings. Meaning of the six symbolen The five-pointed star within a circle is the most commonly used ‘Pagan’ symbol, and is used to identify oneself as a Pagan or Wicca practitioner. The five points represent the four elements plus the ether, where the circle connects them all. A five-pointed star without a circle is also called a pentagram, not a pentacle.
