In Wicca and various forms of “white magic,” the encircled, upright pentagram is considered a symbol that provides protection of some kind. Pagan and neo-pagan groups use the pentagram in all manner of rituals and ornamentation because it symbolizes infinity, the binding of the five elements, and protection of the self.
In the mid-1800s, a researcher of magic declared in a book that the inverted pentagram was a symbol of evil because it presented an inversion of the natural order, placing matter over the spirit world. Originally dedicated to Osiris the goddess of motherhood in Ancient Egypt, and then later to Dionysus or Bacchus the Greek and Roman Gods of wine, the latter perhaps because it was thought to prevent drunkenness.

Wicca symbolism significances
Ivy is native to Europe and Russia and has been cultivated in our gardens for centuries. It has been steeped in mythology and cultural meaning since ancient times. Originally dedicated to Osiris the goddess of motherhood in Ancient Egypt, and then later to Dionysus or Bacchus the Greek and Roman Gods of wine, the latter perhaps because it was thought to prevent drunkenness.
Another myth states that it grew around the altar of Hymenaios, the Greek God of Marriage. As such ivy was often presented to the bride and groom as symbol of everlasting life, devotion, fidelity and loyalty. The Greeks also used it to make a crown for Liber, the God of Fertility, as well as poets and other muses. These ancient meanings were later adopted by the Christian faith, when it became a symbol of love, friendship, immortality and death. It is often seen carved on Christian tombs and was once placed on the graves of the dead on All Soul's Day.
Used to treat burns, including sunburn, in the past a medicinal ointment was made with the twigs or leaves with butter as a base. The leaves can also produce black dye, or dark greens and creamy yellows using various mordants.
By the Middle Ages these pagan meanings were deeply embedded in our cultural life, this was reflected in its use as a decoration at Christmas, a practice once banned by the Council of Churches due to its pagan roots. Carols such as 'The Holly and the Ivy' are thought to date from this time and may even be pre-Christian. Interestingly, by the Victorian era its use in this way was perfectly acceptable, perhaps a reflection of its place in the then accepted language of flowers. It is the plant badge of the Clan Gordon which dates back to 1150 and a first Grant of land near Kelso. Since then they have been central to the political and military life of Scotland and famed for their courage as well as the formation of the Gordon Highlanders. Two famous military heroes from the family include General Patrick Gordon of Auchleuchries (1635-1699), Commander of the Armies of Peter the Great of Russia and General Charles Gordon of Khartoum (1833-1835).
The family are also associated with the English poet Lord Byron - George Gordon Byron (1788-1824) the son of Scottish antecedents who was named after his grandfather on his mother's side, George Gordon of Gight Castle, Aberdeenshire.

Today Ivy is still regularly seen in bridal bouquets, but few will understand its ancient uses and meanings.
In the mid-1800s, a researcher of magic declared in a book that the inverted pentagram was a symbol of evil because it presented an inversion of the natural order, placing matter over the spirit world. Since then, the inverted pentagram has had associations with occult practices and black magic. The Church of Satan uses the inverted pentagram as part of its copyrighted logo, adding a goat’s head, framed by the star.

Reviews for "A Night of Enchantment: Hilton Waikiki's Magical Performance"
1. John - 2 stars:
I was really excited to attend the magical performance at Hilton Waikiki, but I was left quite disappointed. The magician seemed unprepared and the tricks were easily predictable. The overall performance lacked creativity and originality. I expected to be amazed, but instead, I found myself bored throughout the show. I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone looking for a mind-blowing magical experience.
2. Sarah - 1 star:
I had high hopes for the magical performance at Hilton Waikiki, but it turned out to be a complete letdown. The magician was more focused on his cheesy jokes and unnecessary banter with the audience than on the actual tricks. The tricks themselves were mediocre at best, and it felt like I had seen them all before. The lackluster performance left me unimpressed and wishing I had spent my money elsewhere. I definitely do not recommend this show to anyone seeking an exceptional magical experience.
3. Michael - 2 stars:
Attending the magical performance at Hilton Waikiki was a disappointment for me. The magician seemed to rush through his tricks without properly engaging the audience or building any suspense. The tricks themselves were basic and lacked finesse. Additionally, the production value of the show was poor, with an outdated set and unimpressive lighting. Overall, I was underwhelmed by the performance and wouldn't choose to see it again. There are much better magical shows out there.
