The pentacle - associated with Satan, Big Red and Bad News. Is that really what it means? Of course not. Nothing of the sort, actually. But that’s the bad rap it’s gotten over the years. Witches, spells and black magic. All here to corrupt your young. But what is it really? And why the fuck did I put it on my right hand?
“A pentacle (or pantacle in Thelema)[1] is an amulet used in magicalevocation, generally made of parchment, paper or metal (although it can be of other materials), on which the symbol of a spirit or energy being evoked is drawn.” - From Wikipedia
Who doesn’t want energy or a great spirit drawn to them? I don’t think there’s anything in there that says anything about the Devil. Sure the energy you choose to conjure up is your own, but then we’re back in the free-will conversation; and that’s not the point.
So I got this simply to conjure up energy? No. It’s actually not done. Traffic had me running late and the design took some time to layout, so the pentacle still has to be filled in.
But with what? Is shit getting weird?
Of course!
Let’s take a look at what’s going in there…
The Baphomet.
Holy shit, she’s lost it. Putting The Beast on her shaking hand.
When you see a goat inside of a star with a circle in it, Satan worship pops up. That’s the assumption, what people have been lead to believe through ignorance and bliss. But our pal, Wikopedia is here to clear all of that up.

“Since 1855, the name Baphomet has been associated with a “Sabbatic Goat” image drawn by Eliphas Lévi. Often mistaken forSatan, it represents the duality of male and female, as well as Heaven and Hell or night and day signified by the raising of one arm and the downward gesture of the other. It can be taken in fact, to represent any of the major harmonious dichotomies of the cosmos.” - From Wikipedia
Now if you ask me, that is pretty fucking rad. Isn’t harmony and equality what we want? Isn’t that the gist of every inspirational saying?
See how ignorance fucks us?
We either get stupid tattoos of one hit wonders or judge somebody for something we know nothing about.
Use Wikipedia, Google, Bing, whatever; and research the shit out of whatever it is you’re in question about or thinking of doing. You may be surprised.
So in two weeks this little goat guy’s face will be prominently displayed within the star; ready to summon harmonious energy my way.
And I cant’s see a damn thing wrong with that. There is a method to my madness.

Both hands. Yellow rose symbolizes friendship/positive relationships and the compass provides guidance. The pentacle with the Baphomet, (to come), we know represents harmony and the summoning of energy. The poppy reminds me to avoid temptation, to stay on the right path, follow the compass. They work together and provide me with the subtle reminders I need to keep on keeping on in the right direction to the fullest of my capabilities.
Gotta love symbolism and meaning.
