We all know the Pentagram, the 5 sided star, is the sign of many Demonic and Cult religions. Examples: Wiccan and Satanist. Since those two are the most known we already know about them. But, this always hasn't been the case. In some early things, such as King Solomons temples.
But if you have watched "the Last Legion" they say the Es Calbier has a pentago, meaning pentagram in latin, on the handle and a few more locations on the sword.
So tell me, How has this symbol of early Christianity come to be a Demonic symbol of the Devil?

actually it was already used for magical symbols before Christians adopted it. just like the trinity symbol was. it just isn't as widely used anymore by Christians b/c of its predominance with demonic cults and such

the pentagram is a pagan symbol
it was adopted by the early church to make conversion easier
then some pope decided anything pagan was evil
thus the pentagram became satanic (the word invented by said pope to cast bad light upon whatever he didn't like)
btw women were next in line

Though, he was right about the conversion bit. It was adopted as Christian symbol because of it's prevalence in the spiritual lives of many pagan peoples. Nowadays it's no longer a symbol for Christianity, though.

Also keep in mind mankind has a way of corrupting basically everything. I mean......absolutely NO offense to gays, but the symbol of the rainbow that was used by god to represent his promise to us and now being used to represent a sexual choice? that is considered unnatural?
same concept.

Ahem, Wicca is not a satanic cult. It is a belief in the power of nature and spirit.

Voldemort on a Plane It is a belief in the power of nature and spirit. no, actually it is a religion based around a god and a goddess, as well as a pantheon of lesser deities. for more information on what wicca actually is, check out it's wiki.

As an ex-wiccan, now a born again Christian, I found out it is alot darker the further you go into it. It ultimately leads to a worship of satan as a supreme being. Please do not get caught in it's web as it is harder to leave than most people know. Accept Jesus in your life and you will never regret it!!!! God Bless you!!!
