Why I Wear a Pentagram Necklace
Share
When I tell people that I'm a witch, one of the first questions they ask is why I wear a pentagram necklace. It's not just because it looks cool (although, let's be honest, it does look pretty badass). There's a whole lot of history, symbolism, and meaning behind this simple piece of jewelry. In this post, I'm going to share a little bit about why I wear a pentagram necklace and what it means to me.
The pentagram is a five-pointed star that has been associated with witchcraft for centuries. In the past, it was often used as a symbol of protection against evil forces. For many modern witches, the pentagram has come to represent the five elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit. To me, wearing a pentagram necklace is a way of showing my commitment to the witch's craft and my dedication to living in harmony with nature.
The pentagram also has a deep personal meaning for me. After I came out as a witch to my family and friends, I experienced quite a bit of judgment and rejection. Wearing my pentagram necklace was (and still is) a way of claiming my power and affirming my identity despite the negative reactions of those around me. It's like saying, "This is who I am, and I'm not going to apologize for it."
If you're thinking about taking up the witching path or are simply curious about what it means to be a modern witch, I encourage you to do some research and find out what the symbols associated with this path mean to you. For me, the pentagram necklace is more than just a piece of jewelry--it's a symbol of my faith and identity as a witch. So go forth and explore! And if you find yourself drawn to the pentagram, don't be afraid to rock it with pride.
