Septagram/Elven Star is one of the most recognized wiccan symbols, the Septagram is a seven pointed star drawn in or out of a circle. The symbol represents the planetary energy over the seven days of the week. It is believed, by those who practice Wicca, that etching or painting this symbol onto their own Book of Shadows (a personal compilation of rituals and spells)it will provide protection to the contents within. This symbol is also used by those who practice Fairy ( Faerie), a Celtic-tinged Wicca in place of the Pentagram. The points of the star are usually associated with the seven directions; North, South, East, West, Above, Below and Within or with seven magical elements; the four alchemical elements plus three additions, which vary but can be magic, life, or light. Some other interpretations of the seven points are that they stand for seven magical places; sun, moon, sea, sky,forests, wind and spirit.

When planning and executing magical phases in a performance, key elements to consider include the selection of appropriate illusions, the timing and pacing of the tricks, the use of misdirection to divert attention, the incorporation of storytelling or a theme, and the seamless integration of props and costumes.
