On this page are symbols more specific to Wicca and wiccan initiation.
The inverted pentagram, symbol of second degree initiation, has more sinister
connotations for many, particularly in the USA where it is associated with
Satanism and where even the upright pentagram is generally misunderstood
and displayed or worn at some risk. Here, the inverted pentagram is associated
with its true amuletic use for the initiate who is still in the process
of learning to bring the 'elements' of matter into subservience to the
spirit and to the will.
