The Pentagram is a symbol of a star encased in a circle. Always with 5 points (one pointing upward), each has its own meaning. The upward point of the star is representative of the spirit. The other four points all represent an element; earth, air, fire, and water. All these things contribute to life and are a part of each of us. To wear a pentagram necklace or other form of jewelry, is to say you feel the connection with the elements and respect the earth.

A old map of Sherwood Forest, a potential location for the play seeing as its filled with Pagan history.

"As old as the English language, known worldwide, healthy and still growing. Anyone can see this famous tree, free. Bare in the winter, pale green in May, acorns in September. Living in Sherwood, beloved by Robin Hood and thirty three generations of little boys. A piece of England to cherish.”
