Personally, I think it's stupid to draw Pentagrams all over your arms. People do that in my School, and it pisses me off. They are like - 'DEVILL!!! I AM COOL!"
...Do you draw Pentagrams all over your arms?

I like pentagrams. But most people think they're always a symbol of evil, which they aren't. Only when they're upside down do they have any association with dark arts. So be sure to instruct your friends to draw upside down on their arms in the future.

Such signs, similar to the pentacles in the tarot cards, are symbols of the female.
5 always appears.
Have you ever wondered why the Rosary, which is devoted mainly to Mother Mary, is made up of 5 mysteries at a day?

About Pentacles (or what you call pentagrams)
Ok just to clarify getting mad because someone has pentacles on whatever body part they feel necessary is like getting mad because someone is doing the same with a cross. Believe it or not it is a religious symbol. The five pointed star with a circle around it is a sign of paganism which is an incredibly misunderstood religion (actually it is a spirituality if you want to get technical). First off it is only associated with evil because of ignorance, if any of you want a full history lesson than just say the word and I would be happy to oblige, but for the time being lets just say that lots of not so pretty things happened and this symbol was eventually hated and even feared as many of you can see on this message board. Also just so that you are aware, the pentacle was even worn by Christian Knight during the Middle Ages, why you ask? Because it is a sign of protection. The main point is that through ignorance this symbol that was once so common even from a Christian stand point is has now been turned into an evil symbol, nobody even wants to take time to find out what the meaning of it is. Pagans don’t believe in an ultimate source of evil (i.e. hell, Satan) therefore the thought that the pentacle is evil (upside down or right side up) is a silly notion; this thought has come from sentries of fear instilled by people who don’t care to understand. If you want to be irritated about something then be irritated about the children that are drawing this sacred symbol on their body only to get a reaction, and to make people believe they are bad, evil, and a devil worshiper. Next time they do this ask what the meaning of it is, when they give you an answer like “oh I’m a devil worshiper” or “its evil” then laugh in their face and remember they are ignorant, tell them to find out the true meaning of it and then they might not seem so silly. It irritates me when kids (adults do it to) draw these symbols and think it is something bad, it just adds to the hundreds of stereotypes that are floating around about Paganism. TEXTTEXT[/color

Pentograms suck. Heartograms (read: Viva la Bam) are way better.
I like when douche bag wiccan wannabe's draw a star of David instead. Makes me chuckle.
Also, Wicca is retarded. You might as well say you're Harry Potter. Thinking that you can manipulate reality to suit your needs is one of the most ignorant things an individual can think. What they need is a nice drop kick in a vital organ to set them straight. Yep.

Didn’t Jesus turn water into wine? Wouldn’t that be manipulating “reality”?
Also who said it was for their own needs, it could be used for many things other than for their own benefit.
Making a statement like that is like saying a person who is naturally intelligent is crazy because they understand physics with out years of schooling. Magick comes naturally to everyone; you just need to be able to open your mind to it. Regardless if Wicca is “retarded” or not is their business anyhow, especially if it doesn’t affect you (which of course if manipulating “reality” isn’t possible, it wouldn’t affect you.) so let them be.

Probably not. Makes for a good story though.

There is no way you're serious.... Reality is objective, not subjective. I've argued this many times, look in some of the old threads in the Deep Thoughts forum to see them. I'm atheist, so I dont believe in that Jesus bull shit. I'm still standing by my statement that people who think they can manipulate reality as they desire (a la Neo, from the Matrix) are border line retarded. Yes.
