Artist's Comments

In paganism each point represents air, water, fire, earth, spirit. The pentagram appears on two national flags.. those of Morocco, and Ethiopia. Its a powerful symbol and is relevant to many religions, and has been around and in use for 5000 years. In christianity it can mean the five senses, five wounds of christ or the five types of health. Satanists also use it, however they turn it upside down and put two circles around it. Correct me if i got any of that info wrong...
What does this symbol represent to you?

edit* made this stock.. i hope this is actually use-able as stock. note me and inform me if you are using it, and show me the final pic cos i would love to see it!!

It looks so mystical and earthy. Like something from a fantasy novel.

It's a shame such a beautiful symbol is so misrepresented in pop culture. :\

so true, this symbol DOES get a very bad image in pop culture, particularly in christianity regardless of the fact they used it first.

Christianity didn't use it first? The pagans did. :P

This means my religion. Beautiful picture, Davie. You take good photos. I like them.

I've made also a pentagram of little stones with a friend of mine :XD:

for me it's more a symbol of the balance between nature and spritual things. don't know why exactly

If you could make this a print, that would be amazing. I have some pagan friends who would love to get a little magnet or postcard of this. :)
