Pentagram vs Pentacle

Pentagram:

a pentagram is usually used for invoking and evoking

the points of the pentagram represents the element of earth, fire, water, air and spirit, with the spirit on top representing the divine ruling over the material world

inverted pentagram:

the inverted pentagram is still connected to the elements, but now spirits is at the bottom, showing the material world is ruling over the divine. It is meant to show the powers of the individual and not the powers of a divine or dogomatic system

The inverted pentagram has been used to represent the horned God

Pentacle:

a pentacle is usually used for protection and power

same thing as the pentagram but it is now unified and protected by a circle

the pentacle also represents male and female energy mixing together in a symbiotic relationship. The pentacle being the male energy and the circle being the female energy

inverted pentacle:

shows the unity of the elements inside the individual power and it's still a powerful protection talisman
