In Wicca, a sacred symbol of protection is the pentacle. The pentacle is a five-pointed star surrounded by a circle, and it serves as a powerful talisman for Wiccans. The symbol represents the five elements (earth, air, fire, water, and spirit) and their harmonious interaction, making it a potent symbol of balance and protection. Wiccans believe that wearing or displaying a pentacle can help to ward off negative energies and bring about spiritual protection. The pentacle is also used in rituals and spellwork to invoke protection and strengthen connections with the divine. This sacred symbol holds great significance in Wiccan practice and is thought to provide a shield of defense against harm and negativity.

I was really disappointed with the "Sacred symbol of protection in wicca" book. It promised to provide valuable information about an important aspect of Wicca, but it fell short on so many levels. The content was quite lacking, filled with generic and superficial information that I could have easily found online. Moreover, the book had a very disorganized structure, making it hard to follow and understand. Overall, I felt like it was a complete waste of my time and money.

As someone who has been practicing Wicca for quite some time, I was hoping to gain some new insights and deeper knowledge about the sacred symbol of protection through this book. Unfortunately, it failed to live up to my expectations. The information provided was very basic and repetitive, offering nothing new to someone with prior knowledge of the subject. Additionally, the writing style was dry and lacked any depth, making it a dull read. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking to expand their understanding of Wicca or its symbols.
