I only figured it out by standing on the shoulders of greatness - yours, in this case!

Thank you, WhyNot, that’s the coolest thing I’ve seen all season.  
Thank you also, Harmless, for the inspiration.

Two days ago, I saw an old man walking down the street wearing big black boots, tighty-whiteys and a Santa hat.

If I lived in New York City, that would be one thing. But I live in suburban New Jersey … if memory serves, there’s still a law in the town of Caldwell that says you can’t even wear _shorts_ on Bloomfield Avenue, let alone wander about in your skivvies. 🙂

_sigh_

I just can’t do it. The Solstice pentacle has beaten me. It keeps coming out all lopsidey. ☹

But those Stars of David (Star of Davids?) are so cool!

Best I’ve done on the star of the pentacle, so far. For all the Wiccans in the hiz-zouse. How does a solstice pentacle differ from the usual star-in-a-circle?

Thank you, it’s better than I could get! It’s not different from any other pentacle, of course. Just trying to keep it on topic. ('Cause I’m \*so \*good at never, ever hijacking a thread! 😃 )
