The Spiritual Significance of the Pentacle

The pentacle, a five-pointed star within a circle, is among the most recognized symbols in witchcraft and many Pagan paths. Its points are often read as the four classical elements crowned by spirit, bound together by the encircling ring. As an altar tile, it gives your space a focal symbol and a practical surface in one, a place to set a candle, a censer, or an offering.

How To Use the Altar Tile

1. Place the tile at the center of your altar to mark and focus your sacred space.
2. Set a candle, censer, crystal, or offering on top of it during ritual.
3. Use it as a trivet under a hot dish, charcoal burner, or warm vessel to protect the surface beneath.
4. Cleanse it with smoke or moonlight between workings.
5. Wipe it clean with a dry cloth, and keep it dry to avoid spotting.
