    its mostly just the cross that people wear.  sometimes they do have Jesus on it though.


  • @ncscswitch:

    Well, a Pentacle is not a dead guy.  Just an elemental and Earth Mother representation (in many of the Wiccan and other Neo-Pagan traditions anyway, I would not presume to speak for all of them).

    On that note, how many people called your pentacle a pentagram and accused you of Satanism?

    they look similar.  kind of like the crucifix and the cross.


  • symbols are forever changing and being interperated differently.  For a long time the main symbol for christianity was not the cross but a fish.  Most people do not associate the cross with a method of execution anytime.  Indeed many people do not know that crusafixion was a popular form of punishment back then.  They identify it soley with jesus.  Same as how people associate the swastika to nazis now.


  • Like the upside down cross is a satanic symbol, so too in many neo-Pagan traditions is the upside down pentacle (or pentagram) a perversion.  Not all though, at least a few use the Pentagram as a symbol of attaining 2nd Degree.  And to them it makes no matter, since Satan is not a part of most neo-pagan religions.

    As for symbols changing…
    Are y’all aware of how many schools attempted to ban Stars of David about 6-8 years ago because it was a “gang symbol”?  They quickly ran afoul of various groups like the ADL and lost repeatedly in court.

    and yet they can ban the girls chastity ring as being too religious.

    damn the liberal hypocracy.


  • Chastity ring?

    Please explain…

    I think he is referring to the girl who believes in Sex after marriage (Christian Faith) and she wore a bracelet to represent that she believed in it.


  • OK, I knew the concept, but never was aware of a particular jewelry identifier.

    Pretty ironic to me.  Ring + finger = sexual mimicry
