English term or phrase: Pentagram ; Pentacle
I was just wondering how one would spell "pentacle" and "pentagram" in German?
Araho
Pentagramm
Explanation:
IMO pentacle and pentagram are synonyms, the German term "Pentagramm" covers both.

If pentacle were to be transferred into German, it would read "Pentakel" - experts among ProZ members to confirm whether this second word is used in German.
