It's been a long while since I was a pagan (I just don't do gods any more), so don't jump to too many conclusions here; I simply wanted to do something interesting with a bold shape encrusted with knotwork, and I thought that this would be a really striking image.

One of these days I mean to do something similar with a Celtic cross (oh... now I have!), just to muddy the theological waters even more, or to give equal time, or something - because it's also a striking, bold symbol in its Celtic version.

I've done two treatments of the pentacle, one gold, and the other silver; each one is essentially the same except for its palette.

Thee are ten "gripping beast" dragons in the circle (the poster version has eight more in its corners) with several panels of interlaced bands - and of course the pentacle itself is here turned into a knotwork design.
