Pentagram Griffon Unicorn Dragon Tree Elementals

Description

The top of the pentagram shows two alicorns, or unicorns crowned with the Moons (done opposite from normal for special reasons not disclosed here).

The pentagram is a five pointed star usually enclosed in a circle and it is most often a female object representing the element of earth. It is a powerful symbol of protection and each point represents the five elements, water, earth, fire, air and spirit. You can use it to consecrate other tools or focus your energy. Here is one common way of referring to the points:

Earth: bottom left
Fire: Bottom right
Water: Upper right
Air: top left
Spirit: top point

It is also in the shape of a human body outstretched/spread eagle. The ancient symbol has been in Egyptian mythology and is still used today. If you have a pentagram on your palm, it is believed to be a symbol of magical potency in palmistry. The pentagram is the fourth sacred tool and also symbolizes union. Was honored by pythagoreans as the pentalpha.

Below the pentagram was designed a picture to help remember the different elemental directions.

This piece was drawn in pencil first, small-like and was finished in about two hours. Later, I colored it in photoshop for about 5 hours on and off.

Nice :D Even though I'm an Anglican, I am somewhat curious and open-minded toward other beliefs such as 'new age' (I know, it's somewhat blasphemous) and was thinking of doing a magical girl series based on the five elements and legendary creatures (such as dragons, unicorns, and phoenix). I have done a few concept arts and chapters (here are a couple:  Dragonflies by catcrazygurl94  and  Spirit of the Dragon Stone by catcrazygurl94 ) I'll probably upload them properly when I have enough to get a membership long enough to change my current username to my pen-name
