Answer 1

I wear a pentacle (under my clothes).

I also have a Triquetra that I sometimes wear.

What I really love is that I have some of what I call "stealth Pagan" jewelry - stylized five-pointed stars in a circle, a necklace and earrings set. I picked them up at Claire's (a youth-oriented jewelry store).

And I have a Morrigan's Raven pendant that my hubby gave me, similar to this one:

(He gave me this because The Morrigan is my matron/protectress Goddess.)

Answer 2

I don't use any of the popular stuff... I used to use my little sun/moon/eclipse/corona that I constantly doodled back in the day, but it was more something I liked... The best faith symbol I had though needs to be repaired (no big deal, just have to get around to doing it.) My brother lives in Budapest right now and a few years ago when he came home, he brought me a necklace that he had picked up at some craft show thing... it's three handmade ceramic leaves... it just struck a chord with me and fits somehow... I just need to get off my butt and get a new cord for it. (I think my cat ate a few of the beads, so I'll have to figure all that out too....)

Answer 3

I only wear the Pentacle. Lost the others during the witch hunts of 2001-2003 in the Country where I lived. I will eventually get other symbols later on, when I feel is safe to do so again.

Answer 4

Mostly I wear a pentacle to represent the 5 elements; Earth, Air, Fire, Water, & Spirit, which is encircled by the Elder Futhark (Norse Runes). Although on occasion I wear a necklace that was made for me of the World Tree that uses stones of jet for the leaves (sorry no image of that).

Answer 5

i wear those and i wear the goddess symbol as well and i have a lot of jewelry that is just moons in different phases. mother moon, or just the shape of the crescent moon made from specific types of gems depending on what i think i need more of in my life on that particular day.i also wear a necklace that is a Celtic knot. not pagan but I've blessed it with a few Friends of mine who walk along a path similar to mine we all three blessed one necklace each as friendship and strength and what not. ~*~Blessed Be~*~

the only site i can give is this one:

Answer 6

For me, most animal imagery will work, though particularly anything with wolves as that is my primary totem. I wear a scrimshaw necklace with a wolf's face carved in it and a real wolf claw hanging off of the pendant. I've had it for almost a decade, and it is my most sacred piece of jewelry.

I do have a couple of pentacles, a septagram, and a few other wolf necklaces, but this is the one I wear the most.

Answer 7

I use both the triskele/triquetra and the pentacle. I am of Celtic descent and the triskele represents earth, sky and sea-- these are sacred to us.
As for the pentacle, it represents life and protection.

Thanks for asking. Many blessings on your path,
Kallan

Answer 8

Small pentacle surrounded by Celtic knot-work.
Depending on how I feel I also wear stone bead necklaces that I make.

Answer 9

I follow a Celtic path and the wheel cross has special meaning for me. Another name for it is sun cross and I associate it with Taranis who is one of my main deities. I like the simplicity. Although it is seen to have many meanings, I associate it with lightning, (storms, sun, and the sky in general), and communication and balance.
