Three Silver Bells (Pentagtram, Triple Moon, Triquet)

The triple moon symbol depicting the three phases of the moon (waxing crescent full moon and waning crescent) is often used to represent the Triple Goddess of Wicca and Neopaganism where the Goddess is ascribed the three aspects of Maiden (representing youthful enthusiasm and the promise of new beginnings) Mother (representing ripeness fertility sexuality and power) and Crone (representing wisdom repose death and endings) The five-pointed star known as the pentagram or pentangle often circumscribed by a circle symbolizes the five classical elements in Wicca (earth air fire water and spirit) as well as the five appendages of the human body the five senses and various other magical and symbolic associations The pentagram was used symbolically in ancient Greece (particularly among the followers of Pythagoras) Mesopotamia and Babylonia and was also used as a Christian symbol for the five senses or the five wounds of Christ Cornelius Agrippa and others perpetuated the popularity of the pentagram as a magic symbol keeping the Pythagorean attributions of elements to the five points Six- and seven-pointed stars were also used with different symbolism By the mid-19th Century a further distinction had developed amongst occultists regarding the pentagram's orientation it was considered essentially good when shown with a single point upwards (depicting spirit presiding over the four elements of matter) but Eliphas L&233;vi called it evil when it appeared inverted (point down) The inverted pentagram came to be associated particularly by Christians with Satanism and evil and the modern Satanism movement adopted the inverted pentagram (often with the head of a goat inside it) as the Sigil of Baphomet The word triquetra originally meant simply triangle or any three-cornered shape but it has come to refer exclusively to a three-pointed figure composed of three overlapping vesicae piscisThree Silver Bells - Triquetra Pentagram and Triple Moon EngravedMade from metal and nickle with a shiny silver finishWeight 005kg each Width 4cm Depth 4cm Height 7cmDelicate magic little bells engraved with Wicca and Pagan symbols - perfect decoration for those magic witches and wizardsFabulous home decor or if you're brave enough with magic and potions then each bell with it's own unique symbol may carry a special power - would look excellent next to your cauldrons and skulls
