The pentagram has commonly been associated with Satanism. It comes from wickia, each point being all the elements of earth. Christians would argue that wickia or witchcraft comes from Satan. Others would argue that witchcraft comes from the earth. I guess it's a matter of opinion.
My personal experience is that witchcraft is something not to be messed with. When a person does a negative deed towards a person. You get it back on you 3 times worse. I 've heard tones of disturbing stories. I met witches. I've had witches approach me. Telling me they saw something in my eyes. So yes witchcraft exists. Yes it does have power, but I don't think it has power that is supreme. I believe that supreme power lies in God.

Freemasons say that everybody is worshiping the same God in a different way. And that all religions are equally valid. Which is in direct contradiction to the Christian belief in One God worshipped in the Christian fashion.

The proportion of Freemasons who are Satanic is probably a little lower than in the general population.
Nice tryn but most metallers believe in Buddha i a kid you not they channel there energy through Buddha i read an interview from a magazine called PIT and there was an interview from a guy from a band called Morbid Angel
he was asked if he was actually a Satanist he replied "# No" .
O.K the lyrics may sound satanic tho but they have to go with the music you cant write lyrics about love to a really fast tune not in metal you cant
"The pentagram has commonly been associated with Satanism. “
This statement is Patently wrong. At my last count I had found
over 500 interpretations and/or definitions for the pentagram/pentacle
only one of which had any satanic relationship. There is also the FACT
that for many centuries the Pentagram was used by xianity as a symbol
for protection and to symbolize the 5 wounds of christ.
You did not explain why the divine selfhood of man should be used in an upside-down fashion.
I also wear a Pentagram or more precisley a Tetragramaton. For those who are not familiar with early symbology The Pentagram was and is a symbol of perfection,and of The Goddess Venus.
As for the OES logo, if you look at the symbols with in the points it is possible that the single point down could symbolize the spirit of the GAOTU returning to or being sent to humankind.
