Glossary Entry: Pentacle
Definition
A pentacle is a simple design that features a perfect star nestled within a circle.
While this design has been used by many different religions (including Christianity), today it's more commonly associated with Wicca or other druidic faiths.
As a general rule, these are not explicitly satanic - like the pentagram, to be a satanic reference, the star needs to point downwards with a goat's head drawn within its points.
