Silver Coloured Pentagram & Triquetra on a Silver Coloured Chain.

The pentagram has been in use for thousands of years. In ancient times it was featured in tombs and seals of Egypt Mesopotamia & coins of Greece. The pentagram was a symbol of the Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras and his disciples, probably in part as a way for followers to recognize each other. Some sources say the Pythagoreans regarded it as a symbol of health and knowledge, and in some depictions the Greek letters for the word health are placed at its points. It may also have been used by the Greeks and others generally as a symbol to ward off evil. In modern times the pentagram is most often associated with Neo-Pagan religions, especially Wicca. It is often depicted enclosed in a circle, a symbol known as a pentacle. In these traditions the five points often represent the five elements of air, fire, water, earth and spirit. For Wiccans the pentagram may also symbolize masculine and feminine or the Triple Goddess (three points) and the Horned God (two points).

A triquetra is an ancient symbol that consists of three overlapping and interconnected arcs, sometimes known as a Vesica Pisces shape, that creates a tri-pointed symbol.

Essentially, the symbol resembles a three-cornered knot, as all internal arcs look as though there is no beginning or end. The name itself translates to ''three-cornered,'' but the meaning runs far deeper, dating back to pre-Celtic origins. However, the concept of three, also known as the power of three which is embedded in the name, is the most important aspect of the ancient symbol
