Due to Christian upbringing and pop culture of my youth, when I began a path with witchcraft, I felt very uncomfortable with the pentagram. After a number of years, I now find it to be a beautiful symbol full of rich and deep meaning for me. I don’t wear one, but my house is full of moon water and sacred oil pentagrams… as am I, most days anyway! 🙃 I usually mix a bit of salt into some moon water for the protection pentagrams on doors. Himalayan black salt if it’s outdoors ( that stuff reeks of rotten eggs! 🤢 So, it’s good old sea salt for inside the house ). I like to use water for protection pentagrams and oils for ‘manifestation’ pentagrams. I think of it like washing away with water, anointing and blessing with oil. Or I just draw one with a finger if I have nothing to hand. Even more basic, if I feel the need for a protection booster out in public, I just visualise a pentagram… works well for me 🤷♂️
I like that. I'm still fighting the decades of Christian brainwashing, and have been hiding my pentagram in a drawer. However, I'm about to make one of long cinnamon sticks to hang on my wall. I guess I've been edging out of the broom closet one toe at a time, but that should bring about some interesting conversations! 😖
Great content. It drives me mad when its depicted as an "evil' symbol usually in films,dramas,I have one on my key ring so I can carry one around and its left in my front door to protect my way in..blessings 🖤🔮🍁
I did appreciate what you said about symbols may not work within themselves as a loan object but when paired with a witch with belief and intent behind it, that's when they really do have effect :) I myself use smoke to draw a pentacle over the doors of my home. Blessings from Canada
JUST Bought a Pentagram Necklace. U know I was a 40 yr Christian and The Very Thought of buying Much less wearing a pentagram scared the crap outta me. NoT AnyMORE. I AM FREE
This was interesting, liked how you explained the difference between a pentagram and a pentacle, my husband thought one was evil but after watching the video, he said"aah, now I understand", I told him that you would know, he doesn't disapprove of my craft, thank you for sharing, always enjoy your videos, hugs from Orange County, CA 🍁🍂🌒🌕🌘🔮💛
Love this! I found your channel through Bex of The witches cookery. from watching her I learned that I have been a witch all my life. Yes, I did study witchcraft a very long time ago, but I study everything that has to do with the tarot, astrology, varies spiritual practices and much much more. What I learned is that as a child I was unintentionally doing these practices, as was my mother and her mother. As an adult, I can now put intention and spell work into these lifelong practices. I loved and appreciated your video very much! So looking forward to becoming more knowledgeable of who I was born to be :) ps All 3 of my daughters practice to some degree and I'm looking forward to sharing more knowledge with them and my grand-daughter too!
I love your history knowledge, and you pack some facts that I didn't know about the pentagram too. I like that. I picked up on some of your energy, you have that pleasant, and fun filled energy about you, i love it. I'll look out for more of your video's. Blessed be.
Question.. you mentioned the banishing ritual of the pentagram.. which I understand calls on angelic entities to protect and shield, but as a practitioner who rejects Abrahamic religions how does this correlate?? Thanks
My banishing ritual did not use angels, merely the security of the pentagram in which I stood in the middle. It is stronger than a plain circle… as to Abrahamic religions - I tend to not go with any religion (and that includes wicca….) but I still maintain being a witch.
Angels are used mainly in Enochian rituals for things like that. Many practitioners of this also are not members of abrahamic religions. As far as the pentacle goes, that is not one of the sigils used in conjunction with angels.
I think that there are people that wish to practice magick yet tell others not to practice magick. I believe they often end up losing their magick. The pentagram is the golden ratio.
Always. Intent and focus creates the energy needed to essentially manifest."Magic".The star represents the elements and spirit which all witches are aware of and connected to.We all are.Its a sacred symbol that can be used for many things including protection.Magic is not possible without intent.
I was always thinking that pentacles are a sign of evils, thank you for clarifying that.
They are such a great sign for protection - I use it all the time
I have been resistant to the pentacle because of the supposed evil connotations. Thanks for explaining it's history xx
So sad that is has been misaligned, I love its protective qualities
Recently found out that Japanese ninjas who practiced Witchcraft also used the pentagram symbol. .thanks Ginny 😉
Do you know anything further about this? I would be most interested to learn…
They even use the pentagram as a weapon:

I also have a friend who uses smoke to draw symbols, works brilliantly
Really love the idea of a pentacle/pentagram at your doorway washing away negativity as you walk through🤩
Yes! Thank you!

Thank you, very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Before doing the moon water spell on the door, would or should I do a cleansing with sage of the house?
I would definitely cleanse, more the merrier in my opinion

The pentagram is the golden ratio.
I didnt know that about the pentagram…
@@GinnyMetheral I saw something on the measurements of it on you tube and the claim that venus as it moves around the earth creates the same pattern.
Where can I find The Key of Solomon book?
There are plenty of free downloads for you online
So it's more about intent then the actual shape?
Always. Intent and focus creates the energy needed to essentially manifest."Magic".The star represents the elements and spirit which all witches are aware of and connected to.We all are.Its a sacred symbol that can be used for many things including protection.Magic is not possible without intent.
this is scary
