- I have always (before) thought that this is vice versa because
- the pentagram that has one point straight up always represented
- the devil, and his crew, to me. Thus I thought that when it is
- inverted it's 'white(r)'.
- But the pictures with a goat that has an inverted pentagram on
- its forehead contradicts with my previous opinion so I think you
- are right.

-
- Gee, I'd like to get email from a true satanist, just to get
- some idea of what their religious life is like and all..
- Haven't found any though.
- (So if any true satanist reads this article I'd appreciate a
- piece of mail. Thanks.)
