I'm glad you said that, I was checking the rest of the thread to see if I
had to... Witchcraft has nothing whatsoever to do with Satan, people!
Most witches doen't even believe Satan exists, so please, don't associate
the two as if they are related.
: A pentagram/pentacle (a five pointed star in a circle), is not a demonic
: symbol. It is many things such as a symbol of protection, or can
: sybolize the points as being the 4 elements (Earth, Air, Water, Fire) and
: the spirt being the top point.
The pentagram used by Satanists has no top point, it's "upside down".
Amazingly, it looks alot like the goat, which also has significance in
the Satanist religion. One of the graphics in Doom is a goat skull, with
a red pentagram draw around it, Symbolizing satanism, and what not. (not
witchcraft).
