Renowned artist Paul Borda of Dryad Design is famously his own worst critic, yet he considers the Raven Pentacle one of his absolute favorite creations. The piece weaves together ancient energies: the raven—indicated by the sharp point in its tail—serves as a timeless symbol of power, fate, and profound transformation.

Behind the avian guardian rests the crescent, representing flow and change as the moon waxes and wanes in the night sky. With the points turned upward, it forms the Horned Moon, recognized as the sacred balance of masculine and feminine energy. The dynamic asymmetry of the Celtic swirl patterning predates Christianity on the British Isles, rooted purely in ancient Pagan origins.

In ritual practice, the moon expresses the intensity of the raven's deep past, guided steadily by the horned moon. This plaque serves as much more than a beautiful decorative element for your home—it acts as a functional energetic anchor for your sacred space.

The pentacle beautifully grounds all of that celestial and avian energy directly into the element of Earth. By placing this plaque on your working altar or hanging it nearby, it provides a stable foundation, allowing you to build, focus, and direct this potent energy exactly as you wish during spellcraft and meditation.
