Elizabeth Báthory
Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed (Báthory Erzsébet in Hungarian, Alžbeta
Bátoriová in Slovak, 17 August 1560 – 21 August 1614) was a countess from the
renowned Báthory family. Although in modern times she has been labeled the most
prolific female serial killer in history, evidence of her alleged crimes is scant and her guilt
is debated. Nevertheless, she is remembered as the "Blood Countess" and as the "Bloody
Lady of Čachtice", after the castle near Trencsén (today Trenčín) in the Kingdom of
Hungary (today's Slovakia), where she spent most of her adult life.
After her husband's death, she and four collaborators were accused of torturing
and killing hundreds of girls and young women, with one witness attributing to them over
600 victims, though the number for which they were convicted was 80. Elizabeth herself
was neither tried nor convicted. In 1610, however, she was imprisoned in the Csejte
Castle, where she remained bricked in a set of rooms until her death four years later.
Later writings about the case have led to legendary accounts of the Countess
bathing in the blood of virgins in order to retain her youth and subsequently also to
comparisons with Vlad III the Impaler of Wallachia, on whom the fictional Count
Dracula is partly based, and to modern nicknames of the Blood Countess and Countess
Dracula.

2. Ankh
The Ankh, also known as key of life, the key of the Nile or crux ansata, was the
ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic character that read "eternal life", a triliteral sign for the
consonants ˁ-n-ḫ. Egyptian gods are often portrayed carrying it by its loop, or bearing
one in each hand, arms crossed over their chest.

3. Pentagram
A pentagram (sometimes known as a pentalpha or pentangle or, more formally,
as a star pentagon) is the shape of a five-pointed star drawn with five straight strokes. The
word pentagram comes from the Greek word pentagrammon, a noun form of
pentagrammos or pentegrammos, a word meaning roughly "five-lined" or "five lines".
Pentagrams were used symbolically in ancient Greece and Babylonia, and are
used today as a symbol of faith by many Wiccans, akin to the use of the cross by
Christians and the Star of David by Jews. The pentagram has magical associations, and
many people who practice Neopagan faiths wear jewelry incorporating the symbol.
Christians once more commonly used the pentagram to represent the five wounds of
Jesus, and it also has associations within Freemasonry.
