text: The word `` pentacle '' is sometimes used synonymously with `` pentagram '' , and this usage is borne out by the Oxford English Dictionary , although that work specifies that a circumscription makes the shape more particularly a pentacle . Wiccans and Neo-pagans often make use of this more specific definition for a pentagram enclosed in a circle .
simplified: A pentagram is a pentacle drawn in a circle so the points touch the circle .
