In the symbolism of the four classical elements, fire is a purifying, masculine energy, associated with the South, and connected to strong will and energy. Fire destroys, and yet it also can create new life. The exact meaning of the Valknut symbol remains debated, however, but it’s thought to symbolize concepts such as protection, strength, and victory. 5. Triple Moon The Eye of Horus is a symbol from ancient Egyptian that is used for protection or to connote power and good health. The symbol comes from Horus, a sky god in ancient Egypt whose eye was injured and then restored, which is why the symbol can be used for transformation, healing and redemption. This symbol can also be called a wedjat. In most pagan cultures, the moon was associated with female deities such as Artemis, Diana, or Isis, and for this reason, the crescent moon is considered even today to be a feminine symbol. Symbols are important aspects of the Wiccan tradition. Symbols can invoke specific energies, and help practitioners focus their intent and manifest their desired result.

However, this isn’t just a simple representation of a bodily organ— a symbol has depth and layers beyond its most obvious meaning. In this particular example, the symbol probably conjures up ideas of love and romance. Like the moon, the Triple Goddess moves through three principal stages of her life, and these are all contained within the sign. They are:An upward-pointing pentagram represents positive energy flowing from a practitioner, while a downward pentagram represents the practitioner invoking energies from an external source. You can use the pentagram in ritual or spell work as an energizer, symbol, or protection. When worn as a pendant, the sun cross channels the Sun’s power of light, vitality, and strength. 17. Witch’s Knot The symbol for Air as one of the four classical elements in alchemy is a triangle with a line through it. Air is used in rituals when a Wicca practitioner is drawing attention to wisdom or communication. It can also be used to symbolize the east or breath (life in general). This symbol is found in many NeoPagan and Wiccan traditions as a symbol of the Goddess. The first crescent represents the waxing phase of the moon -- new beginnings, new life, and rejuvenation. The center circle is symbolic of the full moon, the time when magic is at its most potent and powerful. Finally, the last crescent represents the waning moon -- a time to do banishing magic and to send things away. The design is popular in jewelry and is sometimes found with a moonstone set into the center disc for additional power. Cerridwen, an enchantress from Welsh mythology, possessed a cauldron that could brew a magical potion that granted inspiration, knowledge, and poetic abilities to whoever drank it.

Lugh’s Knot, also known as the Celtic Square Knot or the Knot of the Warrior, is a symbolic knot pattern said to represent theCeltic god Lugh. These symbols are still used as representations of spiritual beliefs by many Wiccans. They are often used to create personal altars, sacred spaces, or as decorations on clothing or jewelry items. In ancient times, the bow and arrow represented hunting and warfare prowess, embodying strength and precision.The triple moon symbol is created by three moons (two crescent, one full) standing side by side. Unsurprisingly, the symbol represents the moon and phases of the moon as well as the phases of womanhood (maiden, mother, crone). This symbol is also called the triple goddess. Dividing the year into different sections, each with its own important day, is a way to help witches make sense of the passage of time.

There is a theory that the pentacle originated as the symbol of a Greek agricultural and fertility goddess named Kore, also called Ceres. Her sacred fruit was the apple, and when you cut an apple in half crossways, you find a five-pointed star! Some cultures refer to the apple-star as the "Star of Wisdom," and so apples are associated with knowledge. This symbol is a perfect circle, sometimes with a pentagram inside. It represents the circle required to begin or complete any ritual. Whatever its history, the horned god is commonly depicted as a manwith antlers or horns, or even an animal head.This combination of man and beast symbolizes duality: a man’s rational and instinctive sides, light and dark, summer and winter, night and day. The topmost point on a pentagram represents the divine. For some Wiccans, the divine is a god or a group of gods and goddesses, but for others, it’s more abstract. Regardless, a majority of witches have some conception of divine or spiritual energy that influences and presides over the physical world. The triple moon symbol, also known as the triple goddess symbol, represents the three stages of the lunar cycle: waxing, full, and waning.The Hopi peoples of the American Southwest indicated Earth not as a triangle, but as a labyrinth with one opening; this opening was the womb from which all life sprang. In alchemy, the element of earth is represented by the triangle with a crossbar. The With Knot emerged out of a long tradition of knot magic, a folkloric practice that believed the tying of knots could bind, release, or channel magical energies. Practitioners use these symbols to represent different aspects of their craft, such as gods and goddesses, elements, animals, and other Wiccan concepts. Borrowing from this, the Dara knot representspersonal growth, inner strength, the wisdom acquired through many years of life, and triumph over all the challenges of life. 3. Thor’s Hammer (Mjölnir)
