Incidentally, that business with the "two-points up, Satanism" stuff began with Eliphas Levi, a French renegade-priest-turned-occultist in the mid 19th century. Levi was pretty learned, but he also knew he could sell better if he made up whoppers--and did he ever! Witches didn't use inverted pentagrams for anything. Modern Satanists, eager to annoy Christians as much as possible, have adopted Levi's inverted pentagram for their own use, thus making his fiction into reality. But he's the inventor of the thing. As far as I know, my forebears in the Craft used a variety of symbols, depending upon their culture of origin, but they never thought of the pentagram in any position as a tool for evil.
Thanks for the enlightement, fable. I didn't know this.
Any connection between the goat and the inversed pentagram?
