Hey folks! Just wondering if anyone has a pentagram or something ascii-art for my satan-signature. Thanxalot, -C
>Just wondering if anyone has a pentagram or something ascii-art for my >satan-signature. Hmm.. that's really a toughy. Stars are pretty hard to draw in ASCII -- one of the hardest shapes there is. I tried hundreds of times, and here's my best attempt: _____ cf / % \ / #&% \ |%%$#$%$##| \ #$^$& / \$___$/ Nowhere near perfect, but I think some tweaking could help. Any ideas? I hope you find what you're looking for!

Uhm... no they're not. Pentagrams are five pointed stars, when used in [insert variant spelling of magic of your choice here] they're typically drawn within circles, but then they're known as pentagrams-drawn-inside-a-circle. And even if they're not, and I happen to be wrong (gee.. that could never happen :) then just because I can't be bothered to draw the extra bits around them.... doesn't mean that someone else won't.. pentagram inside a pentagon: _._ _,-'/\ '-._ _,.-' / \ `-.._ .'________/____\________'. :'-. / \ ,-': : '-, / \ ,-' : : /-. ,-\ ,: `: / '-,.-' \ : :. / ,-''-. \ .: `: / ,-' '-. \ : :/,-' '-.\: `'-................-'' pentagram inside a circle: ____ _,--' /\ `--._ _,-' / \ `-._ .'________/____\________'. : '-. / \ ,-'`: : '-, / \ ,-' : : /-. ,-\ : : / '-,.-' \ : : / ,-''-. \ : : / ,-' '-. \ : `. /,-' '-.\ .' `._ _,' `--.________,--' Better now? :) -- James Mitchelhill approx. email - azi...@tcp.co.unitedkingdom http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Workshop/4453/

The star needs to be pointing down. No... no it doesn't. A pentagram's a pentagram whether it has one or two points at the top. It's just that one way up it's symbolic of a man's body, and the other way up it's a goat's head... If you want the star the other way up and don't mind not being strictly ascii, you could use the overscore character.. otherwise it'd be difficult to flip and still look good..

Corwin Willys (cwi...@geocities.com) writes: > Hey folks! > > Just wondering if anyone has a pentagram or something ascii-art for my > satan-signature. > Thanxalot, > -C Geee Corwin.... Why, since "Satanism" is a Christian derived "religion" and Pentagram and pentacles are a symbol of Earth based spirituality that pre-date Christianity. Satan exists only in the haliagraphy (Listing of Saints and Demons) of Christianity, so you are in error if you are relating "satanism" and "witchcraft symbolism". By rejecting the "ideals of your local "Christian" neighbourhood, you are actually strengthening the resolve of 'Fundementalist Christians" in the USA, to outlaw and limit freedom of expression and of religion. So this would make you a "Warrior of Christ", as you are helping them with their political agenda. You are helping the Right Wing Christian movement in the USA as surely as you would be if you were sending them money. But then you may just be a "rebellious teen" trying to "impress" people with your misinformation about any and all faiths and religion. Just as a guess: you are 16 years old thin white male you dress in black you are doing poorly in school your parents are divorced you live with your mother and her live-in boyfriend you are a smoker you and you friends made up a hit list after the Denver shooting If you were a "serious" Diabolist, you would "shun" any pagan or occult symbols, as most members of the Church of Satan think witchs/pagans and occultists are weak and bothersome. You seem to have no idea of what you are, but by even posting this you show you are not neither a Satanist nor a pagan nor have you a solid understanding of anything occult. Of course you did know the Anton LeVay, who wrote the Satanic Bible was a Carnival worker and scam artist before he thought he could shock the locals and make good coin doing it. srm ___________ ---\ /--- _|\_ : Steven Robert : _/|_ ("} : Morrison : {") i_.-@-._ _ : : _ _.-@-._i 8--, .-`* ( C.O.W.L. ) *'-. ,--8 I /==\ : Cooperative Ottawa : /==\ I I | \ : Witches League : / | I I /___\ : ____ ____: /___\ I /___________\

The star needs to be pointing down. Nope you are both wrong. This is a pentagrm, if it was inverted it would still be a pentagram (gram) being a Greek word for "drawn or line", from the root "gramma". Only if it was enclosed in a circle would it be a "pentacle". This means a circle (same ending as cir"cle") with five (penta) points. srm _____ ____ | ,o888b,`?888 STEVE MORRISON 888P',d888o, | | ,88( )888 ?8 sr...@freenet.carleton.ca 8P 888( )88, | | 8888888P' 8 The ROSE CHALICE 8 `?8888888 | | 888P' 8 8 `?888 | | `88 (*) d8 "The simpliest of tasks, 8b (*) 88' | |___`?._ _.o888 have the greatest rewards" 888o._ _.P____| The "Abuse of Power" is nothing when compared to "The Power of Abuse"

The points represent the 4 elements (air, water, earth & fire) and man. A rightside up pentagram represents man over (or in control of if you prefer) the elements (white magic). An inverted pentagram is the elements over man (black magic).

An inverted pentagram is the >elements over man (black magic). I was taught that the 5th point was spiritual energy if it was pointed up it was used in magical rites that involved your god ,its "up" so its his/her energy you are using. If the point is down (pointing to your center of energy) the power you were calling on was more worldly or your own energies that were guiding the ritual. I practiced "gray" magic so I guess that might explain my point of view on it. Qryz
