The pentacle is and has been throughout Pagan history a symbol closely associated with Paganism and Witchcraft. In the past it was frequently made of a fragile or easily destroyed material so that it could not be used to incriminate the owner.

These days it is cast in more permanent materials and is found on Pagan Altars throughout the world. As Pagans have many and varied beliefs, I can only speak for what I know. Our group sees it as a representation of the five elements; Earth, Air, Fire, Water & Spirit. And it is used as a focus for blessings during Rites and Rituals.
