Pentacle

Sacred to the Goddess and in some traditions the God. Element of Earth and direction of North. The pentacle is usually a flat piece of brass, gold, silver, wood, wax or clay inscribed with the pentagram. An instrument of protection used as a power point for consecrating ritual objects, such as water or wine in a chalice, amulets and tools, grounding stray energy in a room or, sometimes, a tool used to evoke spirits. It is usually kept in the center of the altar but Pentacles are also hung over doors and windows to act as protective devices.
