I figured if you have a good idea, share it. THIS IS A GREAT IDEA FOR A PENTACLE FOR YOUR ALTAR: The pentacle represents earth so usually stone or wood ones are recommended BUT HERE'S HOW TO DO IT CHEAP AND PERSONAL... Use the bottom piece of a terra cotta/clay flower pot. The extra piece that goes below the pot can make the perfect pentacle for an altar. By flipping it over you have a perfect circle that you can design yourself. They have a multitude of sizes. Whether you just want to use a marker and draw the pentagram on it, etch it with something sharp or paint it--gold for the God or silver for the Goddess, each point can be painted different colors to represent the elements. Mine is painted white with a black pentagram and 1 inch blocks of every color go around the sides. It's inexpensive, made of earth and most importantly unique unto you. Also, if an 8-spoked wheel is needed for any ritual, I recommend doing the same thing. I have a Samhain rite that requires a wheel, so it's perfect.
