They sure do. > > Yes most pentagrams have only five there the demons' pentagrams Wrong, five pointed pentacles are of Wiccan and Witch descent. Six pointed stars are of the Jewish Faith, correctly called David's Star. As a Wiccan myself, I should let you know that the five points simply represent the elements of nature we hold sacred. The top point is Spirit, then the rest are earth, air, water, and fire. Inverted pentacles (tip on bottom) are sometimes used by Satanist to represent the world turned upside down and anarchy. This is not always the case, as some Wiccan Traditions turn the pentacle upside down to represent a 2nd degree initiate into Wicca. > > there are some with six thought there the witches' pentagram Nope 6 is the Jewish star. > No, all pentagrams have five points, because penta is greek for five. > A six pointed star would then be a hexagram (hexa=six) but is usually > called a davidsstar (I think) > > BTW: nice art Gilo, welcome back. > Rain
