Wiccanbynature - 2007-02-26 03:58:46 - Religion Spirituality

I myself wear these, the triquetra and the pentacle. Triquetra: http://store.higherheart.com/product.php/2277/0 Pentacle: http://www.holisticshop.co.uk/itemdetl.php?itemprcd=JEPSTP089 Please post image links (if known), thanks and blessed be. )O(

Best Answer:

I wear a pentacle (under my clothes). I also have a Triquetra that I sometimes wear. What I really love is that I have some of what I call "stealth Pagan" jewelry - stylized five-pointed stars in a circle, a necklace and earrings set. I picked them up at Claire's (a youth-oriented jewelry store). And I have a Morrigan's Raven pendant that my hubby gave me, similar to this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Small-Morrigan-Raven-Silver-Pendant-Charm-Dryad-Design_W0QQitemZ150089566747QQihZ005QQcategoryZ35832QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem (He gave me this because The Morrigan is my matron/protectress Goddess.)

what does the triqueta mean? please, please, please email me!!!

I don't use any of the popular stuff... I used to use my little sun/moon/eclipse/corona that I constantly doodled back in the day, but it was more something I liked... The best faith symbol I had though needs to be repaired (no big deal, just have to get around to doing it.) My brother lives in Budapest right now and a few years ago when he came home, he brought me a necklace that he had picked up at some craft show thing... it's three handmade ceramic leaves... it just struck a chord with me and fits somehow... I just need to get off my butt and get a new cord for it. (I think my cat ate a few of the beads, so I'll have to figure all that out too....)

I use both the triskele/triquetra and the pentacle. I am of Celtic descent and the triskele represents earth, sky and sea-- these are sacred to us. As for the pentacle, it represents life and protection. Thanks for asking. Many blessings on your path, Kallan

My husband is wiccan and he wears a Pentacle for the elements and the goddess. he has actually lost it a few times once when we moved but he always finds it. he says that it finds him.

Mostly I wear a pentacle to represent the 5 elements; Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Spirit, which is encircled by the Elder Futhark (Norse Runes). Although on occasion I wear a necklace that was made for me of the World Tree that uses stones of jet for the leaves (sorry no image of that). Blessed Be )O(

I only wear the Pentacle. Lost the others during the witch hunts of 2001-2003 in the Country where I lived. I will eventually get other symbols later on, when I feel is safe to do so again.

Pentacle - http://paganwiccan.about.com/od/symbols/p/pentacle.htm Symbol of the God of Nature/Horned God/Cernunnos - http://altreligion.about.com/library/glossary/symbols/bldefswiccasymbols.htm (this link has several of the general symbols used by Pagans.)

I follow a Celtic path and the wheel cross has special meaning for me. Another name for it is sun cross and I associate it with Taranis who is one of my main deities. I like the simplicity. Although it is seen to have many meanings, I associate it with lightning, (storms, sun, and the sky in general), and communication and balance. http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/29/291.html http://www.seiyaku.com/customs/crosses/sun.html http://altreligion.about.com/library/glossary/symbols/bldefssolarcross.htm

Small pentacle surrounded by Celtic knot-work. Depending on how I feel I also wear stone bead necklaces that I make.

For me, most animal imagery will work, though particularly anything with wolves as that is my primary totem. I wear a scrimshaw necklace with a wolf's face carved in it and a real wolf claw hanging off of the pendant. I've had it for almost a decade, and it is my most sacred piece of jewelry. I do have a couple of pentacles, a septagram, and a few other wolf necklaces, but this is the one I wear the most.

i wear those and i wear the goddess symbol as well and i have a lot of jewelry that is just moons in different phases. mother moon, or just the shape of the crescent moon made from specific types of gems depending on what i think i need more of in my life on that particular day.i also wear a necklace that is a Celtic knot. not pagan but I've blessed it with a few Friends of mine who walk along a path similar to mine we all three blessed one necklace each as friendship and strength and what not. ~*~Blessed Be~*~ the only site i can give is this one: www.myspace.com/moonlitcreations
