Five-pointed Star Windows in Nauvoo Temple
Image from LDSTemplePage.org/newnauvoo.html
Five-pointed star windows will be used in the fourth
floor of the Nauvoo temple. The up-side-down five-pointed star is to Satanists what the
Cross is to Christians. Why is this symbol being used in the LDS temple? With all
things having both a positive and negative manifestation, is this an instance of opposite
contrast? The answer is found in the heart of each person as well as each organization
generally that uses the symbol.

| Masonry : The Occult Meaning of the
Five-Pointed Star
"Another Masonic symbol which carries implicit occult connotations, is
the five-pointed star, otherwise known as the pentacle. In its upright position, with one point
up and two points down, this symbol represents the 'morning star,' or Lucifer, as well as
goodness and light, and serves to beckon man to discover his inherent or potential divinity.(14)
However, in its inverted position, with two points up and one point down, it represents evil and
darkness, and ultimately symbolizes the sensual temptations of man's baser nature which hinders
the spiritual development and evolution of the esoteric initiate.(15) In this latter form it is
most often seen in connection with Satanism and black magic.(16)" |

Pentegram
"...considered by Christians during the middle ages to be a symbol of
the Five Wounds of Christ."
"The use of the inverted pentagram to denote evil is a quite
recent usage, and first appears in the works of Eliphas Levi. He is also the source of the goat's
head glyph. Before this, neither orientation had evil connotations per se." |

pentagram or five pointed star is an ancient Pagan symbol |
| Wicca > The pentegram
| When the pentacle is worn right side up, it represent spirit
over the body. This means that as witches, we recognize the importance of all things,
but when we get right down to it, we strive to serve the spirit and not solely our bodies.
An it harm none means that serving the spirit may mean sacrificing bodily pleasures,
but if we are serving the spirit, we can never harm. When the pentacle is worn upside down
in Satanism, it means flesh over the spirit, meaning, if it feels good, do it,
regardless of who you hurt. This symbol NEVER HAS THIS
MEANING IN WITCHCRAFT!! If a witch wears the pentacle
inverted, it means that she is undergoing a period of introspection and self discovery,
and that she is going through the underworld to confront her fears and demons and conquer
them. |

on the Irving Case. Masonic Symbolism.
"Known also as Solomon=19s Seal. Right side up it is a representation of
Jehovah White, (or White Magic) reversed it is a representation of Jehovah Black (or Black
Magic) commonly known as the inverted Five Pointed Star of Satanism." |
