Pentacle Earrings
I know some of you are looking at these earrings and thinking to yourself "She's a Witch. Burn Her!" and if you changed out the W for a B it might be a true statement. However the former would not be true. It's just that for the longest time I have felt sad for this truly wonderful and spiritual symbol that much like the "Evil Eye" gets a bad rap.
Etymology: The word is first recorded in English usage in 1561, from earlier French use, in turn from post-classical Latin pentaculum (from penta- "fivefold" + -culum diminutive suffix). The French word had a meaning of "talisman".
The symbol itself goes back to the time of Solomon and was considered something like a protective talisman much like the "Evil Eye" today. I know that like anything it can be perverted to the bad, but I prefer to dwell on the good aspects of life. So for all my customers that like to look back to the past and live in the spiritual, I have made these Pentacle Earrings. May blessings be upon you.
