The Pentagram

The above picture folks, now dont get frightened, just listen up.
Heres a bit of history for you, the pentagram with 5 points to the Hebrews indicated the Pentateuch, you know the 1st 5 books of the Bible, which im sure you have all read... In turn it then represented the whole concept of truth. They also represented the four elements of this world: earth, fire, water, wind and the top point as being the spirit.

The picture on the left is a pentagram with one point at the top and two at the bottom, it has a picture of a mans body inscribed on it: this is just to show how the star is layed out. In the medievil times the 5 points of that star represent the 5 injuries Jesus suffered at the hands of the Jews. The nails in his hands and feet and the crown of thorns on his head. This sign therefore is supposed to be a Christian sign, believe it if you wish.

Right I now get to the second picture on the right. Now you may think, oh thats just the upsidedown version of the Jesus pentagram, but apparently not. In the nineteenth century, a man by the name of Eliphas Lévi, an Occultist, decided to turn this sign upsidedown and invert it into a simbolic sign of evil. That is a goats head, which is also called a "Baphomet". There was a differentiation of good and evil symbolised by the pentagram.

The "Baphomet" has become the official symbol of The Church Of Satan, which was started by Anton Szandor La Vey in 1966, he was also the man who wrote the satanic bible and various other books on the occult.

Well thats it for our history lesson today on the occult and one of their "signature signs" be sure to join us next time when we talk to the chairperson of "Citizens Raging Against Phones" [C.R.A.P] and Phillipino Arbuckles book on the "Giraffe exercises for the young and the restless" and learning to garden with turnips, yum yum.
