Hi all
I was wondering if any of you wear witchy jewelry like pentacle, triple goddess or horned god out in public or to work, and what reaction do you get from others?

I didnt at first but i dont care anymore. My mom saw a necklace with a pentacle and a black obsidian point and called me a devil worshiper. Screw her, i dont care what she thinks anyway! But, yes when i do go out in public i wear my witchy jewelery.
I do! And I have never received any negative comments for it
I will say however that all the jewelry I wear is pretty dainty (I do a lot of sports and big dangly earrings for example would be in the way), so I guess itās not that noticeable to begin with. But in general I think you should wear whatever you like, who cares what other people think?
I have worn my big crystal jewelry in public for sure as well as a goddess necklace. I havenāt ever gotten negative reactions, but I have placed myself in different positions where I wouldnāt expect to find that around me.
Ie. working at crystals shops and meeting people who support my path.
Iām half and half. Iāll wear my sun, black tourmaline, and other crystals. I have a couple of moon pendants, including one with a pentacle in it that you have to get real close to see. I even have a very witchy looking triskele that Iāve worn and got away with.
But I hesitate over wearing my bigger pentacles. I ride the bus and theyāre all really Southern Babtist and the like. Itās my only form of transportation to the store so I just donāt want to start a fight, you know?
Iāve never had any issues or comments about my jewelry, but to be fair I only wear pretty simple crystals And like @jordyn, Iām almost always in places that support this kind of lifestyle (college towns, trendy cafes, places with young and open minds). And I do the same as @Amethyst- I usually try to avoid going places or being in situations that would cause a confrontation over what Iām wearing!
If youāre nervous about wearing your witchy jewelry out on the town @Katt , try first with something small that you are comfortable with and see what happens. If you feel uncomfortable, you can always take off the jewelry. Another option is to wear your jewelry under your clothes. No one else has to see it, but you know itās there and can feel reassured by it!
I wear necklaces, earrings, bracelets, hair charms, every day and have never had any bad reactions as an adult. When I was younger, I got the worst reactions from my family members. I had accepting friends that liked the way I looked and dressed and they called me hippy chic.
I wear a pentacle or tri-goddess pendant all most 24/7. i donāt care what people think.
I have a couple pieces that I wear usually. I have a pentacle ring that I wear on the index finger of my dominant hand (right). I also have a pentacle necklace. I donāt wear these around people Iām not out of the broom closet with though (like my husbandās family). I usually donāt get any reactions. I have gotten a couple random other pagans come up and start conversations though. In Texas we are not very open in public as itās HIGHLY conservative Christian in most places so if we spot each other we tend to chat for a little bit.
I also have a triple Moon Goddess pendant necklace that I wear with anyone. With those that Iām not out to, I just tell them itās the phases of the moon and they donāt ask any more questions.
I also have a lot of crystal pendants that I wear based on what I need.
I want to get more pagan jewelry but havenāt found anything that screams ābuy meā recently.
I guess I am in your camp. Mine wouldnāt likely draw much attention. My amber and jet bracelet for instanceā¦
Same, @jim- Iāve got an amber bracelet too that Iāve been wearing everyday! To anyone looking, it just looks like a normal beaded bracelet. But the amber helps soothe and heal throughout the day. If Iām feeling stressed or have a flash of pain, just touching and focusing the beads helps
I really love hearing about everyoneās witchy jewelry- both the more subtle pieces and the things that proudly show off being a witch to all who can see It sounds like the coven is a wonderfully bedazzled one!
You go girl!
Hi @Katt. I have, for a very long time, worn a triquetra around my neck. No one has said anything to me about it. Yet, oddly enough, when I wore the Tree of Life, I was told that many of my counseling clients may be adverse to it . I always found that odd! After all, it is not offensive nor is it purely used with one specific culture or belief system. I also have tattoos on me that are symbols of my belief system, but I suppose since they are not known to the masses, they do not āoffendā or put any one off.
I hope this helps answer your questions.

I wear witchy jewelry all the time. I have a charm bracelet with Celtic Gods & Goddess Amulets & most of my necklaces are pentacles, crystals, cabochons, triquetra , Claddaugh, Brigidās Cross, Triple Moon, The High Priestess, The Hermit, different runes. I also have other charms that I will wear in my hairā¦ I have worn astrology symbols & aspects mixed with other pagan symbols (earth, air, fire, water) & the phases of the moon on t-shirts & tank tops.
Itās a lot more than when I started. My jewelry collection has just grown. I have earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings & oh so manyā¦ I may have a problemā¦ but they are soooo pretty
One of my favorites is the Tigerās Eye Triquetra necklace that I have.
I wear a ring and a triple goddess necklace all the time and usually triquetra earrings too. I live near a pretty liberal city, I donāt think anyone would a) notice or b) care. If someone asked me I would be fine with that explaining as well so I guess it depends on how noticeable your jewelry is and how you would feel if someone asked you about it
@Katt I do, I wear this antique pentagram on a daily basis, I believe you can see it on my profile picture. plus a necklace with crystals; a beautiful amber, and a triquetra
I ware a pentacle necklace every day its been charmed as a protection necklace but ive always worn it. I also ware a pentacle and triqutra ring as well as a chakra bracelet.
@Christina4,
They canāt accuse you of devil worship,(notice small letters) if there isnāt one. Satan and hell are the concept of a book called āDanteās Infernoā and adopted by the Christian church to better bring their parishionersā into the dogma of their faith.
Theres a BIG difference between pagan and satanic religions.
I should add to my original post a little more. I live in an extremely Christian and republican town that loves to force their beliefs on everyone living in it. I wear not only my pentacle talisman but 2 pendulums and 2 different quarts points. I also wear many different bracelets and other charms as well.
If someone comes up to you and makes a comment about what is being worn or accuses you of devil worship and the like. What I love to do to these people is to quote to them Matthew 7;1-3
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brotherās eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
This not only takes them extremely by surprise but in most cases causes them to run away with their tail between their legs.
