Pagans don't even believe in a Christian Satan, why would it symbolize him?
It symbolizes a number of things, but -not- evil or Satanism, when one
point's up.

Also, IIRC, another interpretation is the right-side-up (Pagan) star is mind
over matter, whereas the inverted one is matter over mind.
                                                    .

                                                  '   '
                    .--==-.
                   / \'..'/\
                  (_,'_  _`.)
                   \   \/  /
                    `-_'_-'

Oi. That was lousy. Anyways, my poorly executed attempt :)
