2. The Pentagram is a
symbol of a star
encased in a circle.
Always with 5 points
(one pointing upward),
each has its own
meaning. The upward
point of the star is
representative of the
spirit. The other four
points all represent an
element; earth, air,
fire, and water. All
these things contribute
to life and are a part of
each of us. To wear a
pentagram necklace or
other form of jewelry,
is to say you feel the
connection with the
elements and respect
the earth.

England to cherish.”
