Do other religions other than Pagans light candles and do chants? Think about it. Are magic spells much different than prayers? We say paryers too. The points on the pentagram stand for Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit. not evil. We all need to use more symbols, such as the peace symbol, and then practice what we preach. Christians come from pagan roots, read the history. Celebrate diversity.
