imporovement to me at least. Here is my own small pentacle.

Don't really know what a "pentacle" is. My english is kind of limited, but if it is the same as a "pentagram" (which is used in occult rituals for different purposes) then i've seen both versions (though I haven't seen your version that much). My knowledge about these symbols aren't too good I'm afraid. If I'm mistaken I'll make another one at once :) > > If this is meant as a pentacle it is upside down.

A pentagram is a five sided star (shape). A pentacle is a symbol used by Pagans. A pentacle should have one point up and two points down. A pentagram does not come in a circle as the pentacle often does. I wrote an article about the pentacle for a fanzine. If anyone is interested I can post it or just email it out. I have it on a geocities site but I can't remember the URL any more. Laura On Sun, 13 Sep 1998 00:56:14 +0200, Robert Karlsson <asl...@algonet.se> wrote: >Don't really know what a "pentacle" is.
