Waxing & Waning Crescents Many modern Wiccans have crescent moons adorning their pentagrams or pentacles. The pentagram is a protective symbol in Wicca, symbolizing the elements of air, fire, water, earth and spirit. Both of these pentagrams show moon designs. The onyx pentacle incorporates waxing and waning crescents. Photo by Snook Family Photography |
Waxing, Full & Waning Moon The second pentacle shows a very simple design representing the full lunar cycle of waxing, full, and waning moon. The 5-point star itself is set within the the circle of the full moon. Photo by Snook Family Photography |
Aradia Pentacle This particular pendant is another example of the full lunar cycle: waxing, full, and waning. The gemstone in the center is moonstone. The Witch who owned the pendant associated it with Aradia. The pentagram is a protective symbol in Wicca and Neo-Pagan Witchcraft. Photo copyright 2016 Thoron Woodling. |
