The circle of the pentacle represents the circle of life--birth, life, death, and rebirth--and serves to remind us of the never-ending cycle of life we hold sacred. Most witches, Wiccans, and pagans believe in a duality of Deity, meaning that we see God as both male and female: God and Goddess. The inner part of the circle represents the Goddess, who is associated with the moon. The outer part of the circle represents the God, who is associated with the sun.
The five-pointed star, or pentagram in the center represents several things. First, it represents the four elements of earth, fire, water, and air with the fifth "element" of Spirit, as in one's connection to the divine as the upper point in the pentagram. It represents the human body…think of DaVinci's drawing, "Vitruvian Man". It also represents the five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing.
