In today’s post about pagan symbols and their meanings, I’d like to take you on a fascinating journey back through history, to the world of paganism in ancient times.
Throughout human history, symbols have been an integral element of all religions. They serve to imbue meaning into every system of faith practiced by humankind.
Wiccan Pentacle by DarksomemoonPaganism is one of those as it had its ‘golden age’ during the pre-Christian period in history, a time when written accounts were quite uncommon and widespread publishing of books or documents was yet to arrive with the invention of the Gutenberg printing press in 1426. Without widespread written word, symbols were even more critical to practitioners of religious faith.

From that day on, she developed a deep-seated fear of her own kind. Living in a village filled with witches made Lilith's phobia a constant challenge. She would avoid any gatherings or meetings where witches were present. She even refused to attend the annual Witch's Ball, a grand event where witches from all over gathered to celebrate their craft. Instead, Lilith would retreat to her humble cottage in the outskirts of the village, seeking solace in her potions and books. Lilith's fear of witches also made her an outcast among her fellow villagers. They found it difficult to understand how a witch could be afraid of her own kind. Some even called her a coward, believing that her fear was a sign of weakness. However, Lilith knew deep down that her fear was not a choice. It was something she had to live with, despite the isolation it brought. One day, as Lilith was brewing a potion to calm her nerves, she heard a knock on her door. Reluctantly, she opened it to find a young witch named Amelia standing before her. Amelia had heard about Lilith's phobia and had tracked her down to seek her help. It seemed that Amelia was suffering from a similar fear and was desperate for a solution. Lilith was taken aback. She had never imagined that someone else could share her fear. Yet, here was Amelia, seeking her guidance. With a newfound sense of purpose, Lilith invited Amelia in and they began to talk about their fears. They realized that by supporting each other, they could face their phobia head-on. Together, Lilith and Amelia started a support group for witches with phobias. The group became a safe haven for witches who were struggling with fears of their own kind. They would meet regularly, share their experiences, and find solace in each other's company. Through their collective strength, they learned to cope with their fears and embrace their unique identities as witches. In time, Lilith's phobia began to lessen. While she still felt a twinge of anxiety around witches, she no longer let it control her. She even managed to attend the Witch's Ball, with Amelia by her side. The villagers, who had once looked down upon Lilith, now admired her for her courage and strength. Lilith's journey from fear to acceptance taught her that sometimes, it takes facing our fears head-on to overcome them. Her phobia of witches may have seemed like a curse, but through it, she found her true purpose. She became a beacon of hope for witches who felt alone in their fears, proving that even the most unlikely of witches can find their place in a world full of magic..
