The listing, Spiral Goddess with Pentacle on Leather Cord has ended.
Strung on a sturdy and attractive genuine leather cord, this Tibetan silver Goddess is about an inch long and has a spiral design. The pentacle is also Tibetan silver.
The leather necklace has a lobster claw clasp and is adjustable from about 18" to about 20".
The pentacle (or pentagram) is a very old symbol, dating back thousands of years. It has been used by many different cultures and religions over the millennia. It was even used by Christianity at one point to represent the 5 wounds of Christ.
In modern times it has been adopted by the Wiccan/Neo Pagan movement as a banner symbol (kind of like what the cross is to Christianity).
In this incarnation, the pentacle has come to represent 5 elements: earth, air, fire, water, and spirit. Spirit is at the apex above all. For this reason it is favored by Wiccans to use/have present in circle when calling the quarters.
This is just a quick overview, the history and uses of the 5-pointed star is long and varied and I encourage all that are interested to research it for themselves, as it is an interesting and worthwhile subject!
