Question
One quick question...hopefully with a quick answer :)
i was researching about the Pagans, when i couldn't find one particular thing;

What are some MAIN religious symbols of the Pagans?

Answer
Hi Jessica,

Yes, this is a simple question, but it does not have such a simple answer. The sysmbles of Pagans differ from pagan to pagan. There are such a vast array of symbols due to the different aspects of Paganism. If you are an Eyptian pagan you ahve a group of symbols that would be completely different from lets say a Celtic pagan.

The common, sort of generic sysmbols that people think of when they think of pagans would be the pentacle, the broom, the cauldron, the wand and the witch's hat.

Here are a few sites that show you just a sampling of how diverse pagan symbols can be:
