[MR] pentagrams in devices

[Skip Davis]

For most of our time periods and persona locals, being anything other than Roman Catholic under the pope was a dicey proposition including Jewish, Non-Catholic Christian, Muslim, various American aboriginal cultures and so forth.  Even those out of Europe could run into persecution if they worship other than the "One God".  But as was said most of us are more enlightened now and will not go into a screaming fit at the sign of something that does not agree with our vision of reality.

Just a comment here, on this pagan nonsense.  Being a pagan in medieval 
Europe was a very dicy proposition.  Best bet scenario entailed secret 
meetings of like minded individuals, furitive flitting about in the woods. 
Worst case brought the unwelcome attention of the Inquisition, with its 
attendant hotfoot.  Pagan displays are grotesquely out of period, anyway. 
Pagans date from 1890 or so; Aliester Crowley and the Golden Dawn.  Totally 
fabricated (See Crowleys "True Book of Lies".  There is no authentic 
history, otherwise, since Caesar slaughtered the Druids on the Isle of Man 
and they left no records.  Might as well add flourishes and curling banners 
to your hearaldry, if you are going to allow pentograms.  They are both 
victorian romance.  More history might quell some of the fantasy.  Just my 2 
pence.
