Pentagram ~ most misunderstood symbol

I was watching one of my favorite YouTube channels the other day, a channel that narrates dark, mysterious, and unusual stories. The story that I was listening to involved the disappearance, over a number of years, of people living within a certain area. One of the “clues” that came up in this story was the pentagram, which had been found etched into stones in a clearing in the woods, of course. And the narrator went on to explain that this was a symbol of Satanists and might indicate that there had been human sacrifices in this area, no kidding. I didn’t bother leaving a comment, a correction, or an explanation. One person had tried to do that already, but it just seemed to get buried in all the hyperbole of the conversation already underway. So, let’s clear a few things up…

Tattoos: The Eye of Horus

This Eye of Horus is my own design and drawing.  I wanted it to be as eclectic as I am, to incorporate symbols meaningful to me, so I included a pentacle and the feminine symbol for Venus.  Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers, and they hold a magickal meaning for me as well.  The initials at the top– CWS– are my secret.  I’m the only one who knows what they represent.

My daughter, Isabella (aka Anne Turrell), is the tattoo artist:
