More About the Symbol of the Pentacle / Pentagram
The pentagram was considered by the ancient Greeks and medieval astrologers to have supernatural properties and to be a protective symbol. Often in the past people would mark their doors with pentagrams to ward off evil witchcraft and spirits.

In good magic today (with the top pointed upwards) it is often used as a symbol to support transmission and communication with the spirit world. Its five points are often seen to represent the four classic elements of earth, water, air and fire joining with the fifth element of spirit to create life. A five-pointed star (pentagram) with a circle around it is referred to as a pentacle. This circle represents sacred space in which the fifth element of spirit controls the four earthly elements.

Also in the legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight a pentacle adorns his shield representing the five knightly virtues of generosity, courtesy, chastity, brotherly love and piety.

More About the Symbol of the Triquetra
The triquetra or triqueta symbol is made up of three interlocked circles which are fully connected together and can’t be torn apart. It’s thought to have originally been a Celtic symbol and is used by Pagans and Wiccans to represent the triple goddess – maid, mother and crone – and is sometimes referred to as the power of three.

It’s sometimes used by Christians too, to represent the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit (sometimes it’s adapted by Christians into three interlocked fish). Plus, others believe it represents similar trinities, such as:

* Mind, body and soul
* Earth, sea and sky
* Physical, mental and spiritual

The unbroken circle represents eternity and the number three is often seen as being a divine number. So it could be a good symbol to give to someone whom you wish to be with for eternity or to have around if you want to strength your connection with the divine.
