The wicca symbols of the triple moon and the horned god are often used to represent and therefore connect with female and male deities respectively. Sometimes known as the goddess, the depiction of the triple moon is of a full moon between two crescent moons. Representing birth, life and death the lunar month of course also reflects the duration of the human menstrual cycle. The horned god, sometimes referred to by his Celtic name of Cernunnos is represented by a circle surmounted by a pair of horns in the shape of an upturned crescent. Used to represent nature or a male deity, when used in conjunction with the triple moon these wicca symbols are a strong representation of the complimentary power of opposites. One of the more familiar wicca symbols is the interlocking ovals of infinity still used today in science and math. Often seen on Thor's hammer pendants worn during Viking times and on ancient carvings this again represents past, present and future, the never ending circle of life. The septagram or seven pointed star is the final one of the basic wicca symbols. Representing the seven days of the week and the then known astrological bodies - Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. each point of the star can be used during ritual to focus the energies of that planet in a similar way that the points of a pentacle can be used to focus the energies of the earth's elements.
