Quick question about the pentagram

[xXTranquilDemonXx]

does having a full pentagram with the star and circles actually do anything? i was thinking about a necklace or a design for some stuff but i thought it might open something. anyone got any details for me?  

[XAmerican_PrinceX]

Unless you give it power, it wont have any. But if you do want to give it power, try filling it with positive energy if you are just starting with this. You shouldnt have any problems unless you or someone else gives it power.

A pentagram necklace isn't any more dangerous than a Mickey Mouse necklace. It's just a piece of metal. It's not going to open a portal or anything just by existing.

If you still feel uncomfortable with the idea of a pentagram necklace may I suggest looking into other symbols if you want something in jewelry form. There are many symbols out there to choose from that can hold a certain significance and later power when you choose to use it in that way.

the power that a pentagram has lies in how much you belive in it. also different metals and stones used give different powers and represents different things.

ok....the metal i was thinkin about was copper or bronze, and what would positive energy do to it? and what do u mean by believing in it?  

[Just Tsuki]

if you believe in something it has a psychological effect as well as a physiological one. e.g. if you have a headache you take an paracetamol to stop it. by taking it you think "the headache will now stop" which reinforces the painkilling eefect because you are thinking positively and believing that it will work.

copper and bronze have long been used as a ward of sorts. Im not sure what other countries may have used them but my family ( the Sprowls and Bryants, heavy scott family) used to hang brass bells on the porch, doors, and barns of houses, they'd ring them in the morning to attract helpful beings like skrats ( not sure exactly what they look like, i've always been told they look like wet chickens...but my family is odd like that) and to repel brownies, fairies and sprites. and if you lived by the shore of a body of water you tied brass and copper bells to your horses so you wouldn't confuse them with Kelpies.

great metal choice! if you are looking for stones, such solid stones like Hematite, tiger's eye, or even quartz and amethysts are great! stay away from stones like malachite or azurite,they've been said to amplify moods of the wearer, which is fine and dandy if you're in a good mood but a pain in the you know where should you feel down in the dumps.

If its a normal Pentagram you are looking for, try a flee market or a local hot topic. Pewter is a decent alloy for any visual jewelry.
But if you plan on making your own I suggest a few steps.

step.1 cleanse the area where the creation will take place. Wicca cleansing rites are fine.
step.2 no running water within the general area(wells and pipes fine) rivers & creaks no. 30meters
step.3 copper, bronze are very great metals. My best effect was silver, but that too was cleansed.
step.4 If you have a gemstone, safest bet is your birth stone. Carry with you for a full month prier to insertion. So it will resonate with you more effectively.
step.5 Finally make sure to perform this at the safest times. Start mid day and end before sundown. Never upon the witching hours and not on major holidays. Too many spirits move about at those times.

Pentagram: the geological word for a five pointed star. It is often comprised of metal, in the middle of a circle. The Lesser Wiccan Tool of Earth. Represents protection. When inverted, it represents a goat head, often confused as the symbol of Satan, though this concept was introduced by Levi. As for power, listen to those around you. If you give something power over you, it will choose to use it. If you are uncomfortable with the symbol, don't wear it, it isn't for you. Might I recommend a nice triquetra?  

[J. Dragonhater]

Like any symbol it only has power/meaning if you believe it does. I have a pentagram tattoo on my right shoulder because I believe that it stands for magic, for the elements, for nature, for focus and a hundred other things. Because I believe it has significance it does. If you're asking this question you're not ready to wear one.

symbols tap our sunconsious, and we are able to empower them to serve us by way of using our subconsiousness. any symbol can be used for any purpose depending on how you feel about it.  

[Silouz Imperial]

those symbols are weak and worthless... try somthing much much older by thousand years perhaps.

That is horribly rude of you to say that. Symbols are our own, saying that the Pentagram is weak and worthless may be your perception of symbol, but to others it is a powerful and meaningful symbol. On that note, may I ask what symbols you speak of? I might add that you have some grammar to relearn.
