The pentagram may be shown as an interlaced line symbolic of the web-weaving power of magic.
The descending spirit-earth line may pass under (male) or over (female) the water-air line to give two
slightly differing forms
Open Pentagram
A pentagram may be open, without a surrounding circle.
This is the active form symbolizing an outgoing of oneself, prepared for conflict, aware, active. (One
wearing an open pentagram must be physically aware of the danger of sharp points sticking in their skin
from time to time !).
As a pagan religious symbols, the open pentagram represents an open, actve approach.
Circled Pentagram
A circle around a pentagram contains and protects. The circle symbolizes eternity and infinity, the cycles
of life and nature. The circled pentagram is the passive form implying spiritual containment of the magic
circle, in keeping with the traditional secrecy of witchcraft, and the personal, individual nature of the
pagan religious path, of its non-proselytizing character.
The center of a pentagram implies a sixth formative element - love/will which controls from within,
ruling matter and spirit by Will and the controlled magical direction of sexual energies. This is another
lesson of initiation.

Introduction
Each plant, animal, rock, and other entity has a spirit (consciousness resonance matrix).
These spirits can join together, in a hive-mind, as a spirit of an area. Nature spirits include
real biological intelligences, are psychically powerful, and are much less abstract and
controllable than the Elementals that many magical people who perform all of their rituals indoors are
familiar with. They can be extremely powerful allies. It is possible to sense nature spirits, to determine if
they are receptive to a ritual planned, and to have them actively participate in magical workings if they
are.
Some Effects Of Working With Nature Spirits Spectacular physical manifestations can happen when
working with nature spirits in the wild. I have personally seen actual foxfire mark the boundaries of a
magic circle at a location that was identified as a receptive power spot and attuned to a planned ritual the
day before. I have seen more than one site attuned for ritual be dry and comfortable, with a round hole in
the clouds overhead, on days that were cold and rainy at other nearby locations. Birds have joined in
rituals, flying around the circle when energy was being raised; and insects, birds and animals have joined
in chants. In addition, the wind often responds to invocations. Generally, these spectacular manifestations
happen unexpectedly.
With or without such manifestations, nature spirits often will channel tremendous amounts of power into
the magic being performed. It is suggested that you do not consciously try for specific manifestations.
Let Nature channel her power into the magic in her own way. If approached with respect, nature may
give you many pleasant surprises.
Spectacular physical manifestations are not a necessary sign of success. If you need a spectacular
manifestation and nature spirits know this, you will get it. The best success in magic is on the inner
planes and more subtle than such manifestations. This success involves beneficial changes in
