Offering Bowl - Pentacle -3 inch diameter - Copper/Brass

OFFERING BOWLS

Offering bowls have been used for centuries for spiritual purposes. An offering bowl may be used upon one's altar or during ritual. Some may use their offering bowls as exactly that (an offering to the Divine) as a symbolic token or appreciation to hold food or drink to the god or goddess of their choice. Some may use the bowls to hold water for cleansing. Others may use their bowls to burn incense within.

THE PENTACLE

For the Ancient Pagans, the Pentacle represented the harmony of all five elements. The five points of the star are said to signify the elements of air, water, fire, earth and spirit. These points are joined together by an outer circle, which represents the harmony and balance created when these elements work in unity together.

In times past, the Pentacle was believed to provide a higher form of protection than the Pentagram.

In modern-day Occultism there is scant consideration for the difference between these two symbols, since they are both closely related with the occult.
