The pentacle is regarded as sacred geometry and a powerful protective talisman for thousands of years. Found within the design of Nature, from the five-petaled apple blossom to the seed configuration within the fruit itself, it carries an association with witchcraft, mysticism, and the Goddess. The tradition of ceremonial magic designates the points as representative of the elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit at the topmost. It is the contemporary religious symbol of Wicca and Neo-paganism. The oak tree is especially sacred to the ancient Celtics, as it represented timeless strength and nobility.
