Weapon of Earth - Pentacle, How to construct the earth pentacle Options

I'm building an earth pentacle to use in my rituals, but i have some doubts on its creation.

I'm building it around 6 inches, out of some wood boards i glued together.

I read in "Modern Magick" by "Kraig" that it is better to be concave, because this would direct the energy directly back to the one who sent it, in case of an attack.

I really don't agree to that, as i don't see how anything reflects back to its origin on something concave differently from something flat. I also don't understand why it has to be used against attacks, as it is obviously meant as a defensive weapon, or a shield. And a shield is definitely not concave, more the opposite.
It just doesn't add up, Kraig's theory, and it leaves me confused...

Could anyone give me some advise on this.
Also, the origin of the god names that are meant to go around it are not given in Kraig's book, I would like to know them to. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

so i should use a hexagram too, instead of a pentagram. okey, nice info.

There is something to be said for understanding the pentagram before the hexagram. Having said that, I utilise a disk with the pentagram on one side, and hexagram on the other - multi-purpose tool - when performing outer order stuff the pentagram side is obverse, inner order the hexagram is obverse.

Now - let's see how the old memory goes......

Adonai Ha-aretz - Hebrew God Name associated with Malkuth (Lord God of Earth)
Phorlakh - Angel associated with Earth (element)
Phrat - Refers to the Euphrates, a river associated with the element Earth (i.e. a river of Eden)
Aretz - Hebrew for Earth
Kerub - Both the ruler of the Earth element, and an entity representative of the powers of the Tetragrammaton (i.e. part of the Kerubim). The Kerubim of Earth is the Bull or Ox (Taurus).
Tzaphon - Hebrew for North (the cardinal point of Earth)

Hope this helps.
