Pentacle lunar phases

A magnificent pentacle with the images of Lunar phases and a pentagram in its center.

These are the world-wide known symbols – lunar phases and a pentagram are especially important for the wizards and witches of Wicca tradition. This is because the archetypes of the two main gods – male and female – are in total generalized with no regard of the kind of pantheon being used. Thus, a female goddess is often associated with the Moon. So, this pentacle is about a lunar goddess.

Human’s life has always been depending upon lunar phases. So have magic rituals. During new moon people have always been cleaning state and beginning anew their affairs. The time of the full moon is the most powerful energetically. The waxing moon works with fulfillment and increasing, where as the waning moon, on the contrary, works with dimension and ebbing. This way, during the waxing moon some spells about enrichment or gaining something are done. And during the waning moon spells aiming at disposing of something or damnation are conducted.

The pentagram matters no less that the lunar phases. Some ages ago, it used to be a symbol of Venus, the Goddess of beauty. It has always been one of the most powerful protecting symbols. Until today it has gained so many meaning that it is even useless to list them: every religion, every culture and every magic tradition add new significance and purpose to this symbol. In combination with the lunar phases it empowers the meaning and strength of the symbol of the Great Triple Goddess.
