The Witches Pentacle
by Sharynne NicMacha
The Pentacle, the symbol of Witchcraft, is a bold and fascinating statement about our place
in the Universe. The pentagram represents an ancient concept that can be found in
philosophical thought in both East and West. Although over 8,000 years old, the image of
the pentagram is applicable in our modern world. The pentagram tells us that we have the ability to bring
Spirit to Earth; this applies to every area of practical day-to-day living, as well as spiritual thought. The
ability of bringing Spirit to Earth is what makes us whole.

General information: The Hand of Glory

The Hand of Glory
This was a right hand of a murderer that was severed while the corpse was still hanging
from the gallows. It was then used as a charm or in black magic practices after being
magically perserved. It is also believed robbers often used the hand when breaking into
buildings and homes.
Preferably the hand was cut off during the eclipse of the moon. Afterwards it was wrapped in a shroud,
squeezed of blood and pickled for two weeks in an earthenware jar with salt, long peppers and saltpeter.
Then it was either dried in an oven with vervain, an herb believed to be able to ward off demands, or laid
out to dry in the sun, desirably in the hot dog days of August.
