Pentacle:

 An encircled five-pointed star, an ancient symbol of perfection used from the time of Pythagoras, Greek philosopher and mathematician, 6th century B.C. It is also one of the four elemental tools; an engraved disc (usually of wood, metal, clay, etc.) representing the Earth's element. It is normally the centrepiece of a Wiccan alter, as well as for some non-wiccan witches and pagans.

Pentagram:

 A five-pointed star. An upright pentagram (i.e., with a single point uppermost) represents (1) a human being (astride with arms outstreched) or (2) the four Elements governed by the fifth, Spirit. An inverted pentagram (i.e., with a single point downwards) represents Spirit still subservient to the four Elements; it is generally seen as a black magic symmbol, except when it is used as the symbol of a second-degree initiate, the implication there being that he or she is still on the way to full development.

Planes:

 The various levels of being and activity - Spiritual, Mental, Astral, Etheric and Physical.
