They boldly hang a satanic rug on their wall

[Maia Gabrial]

I was at a Carpet store last Sunday, looking for a good deal on a rug. I was surprised when I saw this very beautiful rug hanging above the counter at the front of the store. Such quality! The artwork was so gorgeous....

After oogling it for a few seconds, the first words out of my mouth in front of everyone was that it was satanic.... Everyone became very quiet. Eesh!

I wonder how many people would have known that? Not many, if truth be told.

Here's what that symbol looked like:

31725

I couldn't bring myself to buy anything from them.... I wonder if anyone would have done the same thing as me...?

I know for sure I would've done the same thing.

The first time I saw the plans for re-doing the main street through my village that would make it look like a strip mall, I let out a wail that the whole gymnasium could've heard. Heads turned.

Peace Love Joy & Harmony,
genevieve

It looks Wiccan to me.

It looks Wiccan to me.

Yep, and it's upside down.

I'm no expert, but isn't the inverted star a clear satanic symbol? Wouldn't Wicca use a star that points north? Maybe if the rug were turned upside down from its presentation above it would seem more Wiccan.

The tridents would be pointing upwards, anyways.

Perhaps Maia flipped the image to be controversial? (half joking, here)

The inverted star is a pentacle.

Many people today misunderstand the true meanings attached to the pentacle (a.k.a the pentagram). In today’s world most people fail to research the meanings behind symbols before passing judgment upon those who choose to wear them. As someone who has always been interested in the meaning of symbols within world religions I have decide to share my research in order to help promote understanding. The pentacle/pentagram is perhaps one of the most misunderstood symbols in human history. This ancient symbol has been used by Christians, Jews and Wiccans as a positive symbol of light and love. The pentagram in its upright position has always been viewed as a symbol of light. Many people do not realize that it wasn’t until the 1800’s that the inverted pentagram (the upside down star) began to be associated with darkness. The media is quick to only notice those use who view this symbol as something of darkness, yet they forget to mention the positive meanings of the pentagram that are held by Christians, Jews and Wiccans. Lets take a look at the meanings that each group associates with this symbol and you decided for yourself.

Spiritual and religious symbols contain meanings that delve into the deeper reality. The same goes for the Triple Moon Symbol, which is considered representative of all aspects of the divine feminine power - intuition or psychic insight; creative energy; and wisdom & mystery. It indicates the three life stages of a woman.

The waxing moon stands for the Maiden and symbolizes purity, youth, new life, beginnings, rejuvenation, excitement, enchantment and expansion. The full moon represents the Mother and represents fulfillment, fertility, ripeness, potency, compassion, giving, caring, nurturing, protection and power. The waxing moon represents the Crone and stands for repose, maturity, wisdom, experience, knowledge, understanding, completion, death and rebirth. In its entirety, the symbol is believed to signify the eternal cycle of birth, life and rebirth.


Also called the Triple Goddess symbol, the Triple Moon icon is commonly seen on the crowns or headpieces worn by the High Priestesses.

Wicca isn't satanic. I studied and practised wicca for years. Satanism is pretty much causing negative energy for the reptilians or other evil entities to feed off of. Wicca could be both good or evil. I only do positive things with witchcraft.

Halfway into getting a native Indian Tattoo ( Navajo...my bloodline is partly from this tribe) in 1996. I realised the lady tattooing me and her husband were Satanists. I asked a question regarding the shrine she had in the corner and the photos of
excessively pierced labia on her walls....She explained that she was indeed a Satanist and that was her labia....
I pretty much said nothing after that.

I didn't invert it, Purplelama; but good point. Maybe they hung it wrong.
