Paganism as a movement did not adapt the pentagram as a symbol (indeed, there wasn't much of a movement to begin with) until Gerald Gardner began formulating Wicca in the 1940's. The pentagram had already become popularized within the occult community by Levi in the 19th century, who drew _two_ forms of the pentagram; one point-up (with a man inside the star), and another with two points up (with a goat's head within, called the Baphomet). The Satanic Baphomet is not an inversion of a pagan symbol; at the time it was devised, paganism as a movement did not exist. Mr. Scratch

The pagan symbol has the star right-side up.

The Star of David is a six-pointed star which contains a hexagram... ie /\ /\ | | vs | | ---- \/ I know, I'm lousy with ASCII... <G> If someone else wants to give the Star of David a shot... (The one on the left is a pentagram "right-side up" which is the Satanist symbol.
