The five-pointed star, pentagram, found on a pentacle, has been a symbol in human history for a very long time. An ancient feminine symbol representing Venus. According to the Greek mathematician & philosopher Pythagoras, five was the number of man, because of the fivefold division of the body, and the division of the soul. According to Pythagoras, the five points of the pentagram each represent one of the five elements that make up man: fire, water, air, earth & psyche or center, energy, fluid, breath, matter & mind. The most common uses of the pentagram today are by the religious witch, Wiccan, Neo-pagan & Satanic groups. Its used as a protection symbol & magic seal for objects & places. In most Wiccan & modern pagan traditions, the symbolic meaning is taken from Ceremonial Magick & nineteenth century occultism in general. In many of these traditions, it can symbolize the unity of mankind with the earth, the spirit world & also the human body. At its core the pentagram represents the four elements ruled by the spirit, although as modern theologies mature the meaning of the pentagram is growing in depth.

A note about our use of runes:
Here at Mystic Griffin we freely use symbols and concepts from a variety of cultural backgrounds. We do our best to research the origins of symbols we use. If we don't feel we have a clear understanding we won't use a thing ourselves, let alone pass on incorrect information knowingly. Our use of runes is based upon the common meanings of the symbols within modern occultism and not restricted to traditional or historical interpretation. We know that some folks are die-hard traditionalists and find offense in modern use of runes. We hope you will be understanding of the needs of the world today. We still give these symbols honor and hold to their original sacred aspects. If you strongly disagree with the manner in which a particular symbol has been used just drop us an email to let us know. We'll review our use and make any corrections, if needed.

INVOCATION OF THE GOD
Blazing God, ruler of Force, sacred protector of form;
You who are the King of all that we have known,

Descend, I pray, with Your solar rays...
Power upon my circle here!

Daily Prayer to the God
Lord of a thousand winds that blow,
He who is the glittering of fallen snow,
You are the suns rays on ripening grain,
Your spirits found in thundering rain.
You are the mornings quiet hush
Before we awake and start to rush
about our daily lives.
Great Lord and God, be with us day and night!
Grant that we may use Your light
To guide us through the days!
-- Tree Pruitt ©1996
Earth Based Religion Daily Prayer
To the Divine and sacred balance of Masculine and Feminine I call! Grant that the choices I make this day be good and true. Allow that I may use the knowledge I have gained with wisdom. Guide me to a path of cleansing karma, that I may soon return to You!
