It arrived this morning and you can see it in the photo above - a candle lantern with a pentacle in the centre of the glass.
Now, you might think I already have a lantern just like that - you can see it in the photo I took for the front cover of my book. Actually, it wasn't mine. I borrowed that lovely lamp from a sister in the Craft. The large pillar candle and the antique candle holder belonged to me, but not the lantern.
I did try taking a few initial photos with one I already owned, including the one on the left, but I thought it quite witchy enough for my cover image.
I was very sad when I had to hand the lovely pentacle lantern back to my friend, but am delighted to have one myself now. I ordered it via Amazon, although the description on the shopping site called it pentagram lantern candle holder
Although the words pentagram and pentacle are often considered to mean the same thing - a five-pointed star - in Wicca and many other forms of modern paganism, a pentagram is the star on its own while a pentacle is a pentagram enclosed in a circle. That's why I would call this a pentacle lantern rather than just a pentagram lantern. The pentacle is a symbol of protection.
The lamp arrived in the post this morning and as you can see I tried it out as soon as I had unpacked it from the box.
