it's come to my atenchin that people think that the Pentagram is the Devil's Sign
but this symbol means
"What does the Pentagram Mean?
The Pentagram is a very ancient symbol. It does not mean devil worship or human
sacrifice or any of the strange and silly things that the mass media would have you
believe. Simply put it is a symbol of man in harmony with nature, of the convergence
of the elements earth, air, fire, and water with the fifth and invisible element
spirit. A Wiccan ALWAYS draws and wears the pentagram with the point up, this shows
that the spirit is over the body; that we try to live our lives in harmony and
balance with ourselves and everyone else that lives on Gaea's bosom. When the
pentagram is drawn inverted, it is another symbol entirely and is a common symbol of
Satanists. The meaning there is body over spirit, and is a fitting symbol to that
religion for their main tenet is to do what the body desires to do first and
foremost.
It is easy to see that to one who doesn't know otherwise the symbols may seem
similar, but then a aborigine viewing the crucifix about the white mans neck would
not be expected to know what the difference was between right side up and inverted.
The difference is just as great with the pentagram.
Several folks have asked me the difference between a pentagram and a pentacle. A
pentagram is a five pointed star drawn with a single line, a pentacle is the same
star drawn within a circle, but they mean the same thing".
