The idea that there are obstacles which cant be overcome is not part of Squirrel's outlook on life, nor is giving up. Squirrel is an almighty power animal to have any time when you feel you have reached a dead end in your life, or in a situation and ready to give up. This animal also shows us how important it is to be prepared. When squirrels prepare for the winter, they gather only what they require. As busy as these animals are, they always have time to play. Ask yourself are you too active, not active enough, too afraid, or hung up on accumulating and collecting. Witchcraft, Wiccan and Pagan Index | Celtic Connection.

Pagan and Witchcraft Holiday Ritual for Litha. Symbols | Luna's Grimoire. Add to My Grimoire The Pentagram and Pentacle Pagans/Wiccans view the pentagram as an amulet of protection, a symbol of balance, and a representation of the elemnts and the Gods. Pagans use the pentagram with a point facing up like the one see above. This is not an evil symbol! Paganism isn’t the only religion that uses a 5 pointed star. Each of the 5 points represents one of the five elements: 1) Earth- represents stability and physical endurance. 2) Fire-represents courage and daring. 3) Water-represents emotions and intuition. 4) Air-represents intelligence and the arts(left point) 5) Spirit- represents all and the divine(top point).

The circle around the star represents Goddess and God and, at least to me, represents the continuing cycle of life. Inverted Pentagram The pentagram may be inverted with one point down. The Wheel of Being The Fivefold Pattern, four directions are united by a fifth. Triple Spiral This design may represent the waxing, waning and full moon. Triquetra The Double Spiral. Lady of the Earth.
