If this is meant as a pentacle it is upside down. That would be an
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 :)

have a great day!

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.

Well, here comes my version of the pentagram (upside-down):

          ..,+,..
       .+'       `+.
     .'             `.
    .                 .
   . `.             .' .

      `  `.     .'  '
 '     `   `. .'   '     `
,      `   .+`+.   '      .
'       `.'     `.,       :
`     .+`.       .`.      '
