Wiccans pagans and witches of all past and present traditions use symbols for many things, such as rituals, spells, ceremonies and in everyday life. There are many different symbols with many different meanings. Each symbol has a basic meaning, but they all mean different things and represent different feelings and actions to different people.
Meaning of the six symbols:
The five-pointed star within a circle is the most common pagan symbol, and it is typically used to identify oneself as a pagan or wiccan.A five-pointed star in a circle symbolizes the pentacle. A pentagram is a symbol of a five-pointed star without a circle. Pentagrams were used symbolically in ancient Greece and Babylonia The five points stands for the four elements and the spirit, the circle connects them all. Based on numerology, the five points means the pentacle symbolises the Earth element and can be used as an Earth symbol on an altar.
The triple moon stands for a Goddess symbol that contains Maiden, Mother, and Crone as the waxing, full, and waning moon. It is associated with feminine energy,psychic abilities and mystery. This symbol can often be seen on crowns or other head-pieces, particularly worn by high priestesses.
The traditional meaning for the Ankh symbol is "everlasting life". This symbol is a hieroglyph seen in many ancient Egyptian carvings, usually held in hand by gods and pharaohs to show how they are immortal. The ankh symbol is a popular symbol among pagans, likely due to the similarity to a christian cross, and for that reason ankh is much less shocking to others, as compared to a pentacle.
There are many variations on the Triskele - triple spiral symbol. The one we have here is very simple illustration of the basic look of the symbol. The triskele is a Celtic symbol, and it symbolises the power of life and rebirth. It combines the spiral with the number 3 that is considered to be a sacred number, related to the phases of the triple goddess.
The Horned God symbol which represents sun and moon is the sign often used in wicca to represent the masculine energy of the god. It is an archetype symbol, as often seen in Cernussos Herne, and other gods of vegetation and fertility. In a few feminist wiccan traditions, such as branches of Dianic Wicca, this symbol is actually representative of July's "Horn Moon" (also known as a Blessing Moon), and is connected to lunar goddesses. The Horned God symbol is often overlooked in wicca, because people seem to believe that wicca is strictly a goddess religion. Though this can be true in some cases (the tradition of Dianic Wicca), one of the main tenets of wicca is balance between all things: light/dark, love/hate, negative/positive, chalice/sword…. goddess/god.
In terms of spirituality, the Spiral symbol can represent the path leading from outer consciousness such as: materialism, external awareness, ego, outward perception, to the inner soul: enlightenment, unseen essence, cosmic awareness... Movements between the inner world and the outer (manifested) world, are mapped by the spiralling of archetypal rings; marking the evolution of humankind on both an individual and collective scale. In terms of rebirth or growth, the spiral symbol can represent the consciousness of nature beginning from the core or center and thus expanding outwardly. This is the way of all things. Gaining more expansive awareness of the spiral meaning, we can contemplate its appearance in the natural world.
