Pentacle
The Pentacle, is probably along with the pentagram the symbol of
Witchcraft most recognised by the general public.
To those in the
pagan community the five points as represent earth, air, fire,
water, and spirit the five factors needed to sustain life. The
circle symbolises eternity and infinity, the cycles of life and
nature.
In ritual, the pentacle is used to evoke spirits and to
consecrate other ritual
tools.

Pentagram
The Pentagram has essentially the same symbolism as the pentacle
and although as with most things each tradition has is own variations
on the interpretation
