This may be in relation to the many ways the Pentagram is drawn? Deosil, Widdershins, starting and finishing points. What each point represents and how each different starting point relates to the rit being performed. I can't say I've ever come across a book like this, but I have seen this referred to often enough; Top of my head I can't think where though.

Off the top of my head "Wicca Magickal Beginnings" might give you some history of its many appearances and incorporation into Wicca. Crowley's "Magick:Theory and Oractice" will give you magical uses. You can find that one online

Didn't know there was more then one type of Pentagram , never heard of a book just about the pentagram by itself .

Hello all! I was just wanting to know where I could find a book on the different meanings of different pentagrams?

Hello from me too, I've got no excuse as I took early retirement  though life has been busy, Scout (hoss) has been lame so we had to find somewhere new for him, the hill at the last place was too steep, poor lad but is on the mend now X the big dog has taken over now unfortunately he's got a poorly shoulder  so the walks are slower tho not much shorter as he loves being out.
Hope your all keeping well, will try to pop on here more often x

In neopagan and magical communities probably not so much, but I guess it's a word that still carries around some stigma generally. Outside of the modern, reclaimed definitions, traditionally it can still signify those that practice malicious and harmful magic.

I usually just say Wiccan if I'm speaking with someone outside our communities until I'm more aware of their perception, then might clarify from there.

What if the question is asked so much because it is more a seeking of reassurance that the Craft is really real? Maybe some need to hear it from real practitioners so they don't feel they will be mocked by their peers without cause.

 I suspect it might have more to do with personal insecurities and that they need to be reassured that they are really real.   

 Given the overall hassles involved with taking on any label ... why not remain formless ?

 It's pretty hard for the fundies to persecute something that they can't put a name to. 

You still get many that think Witches worship the Devil . This still has strong roots in some country's where being said that your a Witch will get you killed . Home many people have come on here and said they feared to let people know what they were because of where they lived in this country .

I think it's asked so much because there is a long standing habit of screaming witch at people with psychic abilities, or at someone who behaves like a bitch, or someone others don't like... Most really don't have a clue what goes into it or if it is even real.

True, though if they bothered to read the definition it's right there.

It really depends which dictionary you are talking about. Some still have older versions. I saw one some years back that seemed to take the witches hammer too seriously... like biblical level religious text kind of seriously...
