Speaking of Pentacles

I wear a ring with pentacles all around it. The point at the top of the star is inverted in every other instance. No matter which way I wear it or which angle it is viewed from, you can see what you want to see. Black or white. Sacred or profane. I love this.

It's an old, old symbol. We've been told in the 20th century that it represents black magic and Satan. It's marketed to us in religious indoctrination and horror films. In the 19th century the inverted pentagram represented Christ in his mission on earth, and was a symbol used in and on Christian sanctuaries. Astronomical lore shows this is the figure traced in the sky by the planet Venus if you look at its position in the sky once every 484 days.

Lately I've been interested in cycles, and the power that is inherent in the keeping of time.

And I feel like I'm on to something.
