I didn't say that they weren't; what I DID say is that an inverted pentagram did NOT have an 'evil' or 'satanic' purpose at that time, only that it was used as a means to direct divine energy from above to the earth below; the 'evil/satanic' allegation is solely a 20th century invention... I'd also like to see CONTEMPORARY proof that either Dee or the Templars did any conjurations, and if they did, what exactly either used. Twentieth century revisionist musings do not warrant as 'proof'... >what are you covering up for june ?? I'm covering up nothing, only reporting the facts... >what I've just reported about the >history of magic is common knowledge With what PROOF? >are folks on this list so stupid that >they've never heard of the templar persecutions, Oh, not only have I heard of them, I'm actually on the Templars email list... But just because the Templars were accused of witchcraft does not mean that they actually did so; there is no contemporary, objective proof to sustain the allegation...and even if the Templars DID practice witchcraft, there is nothing that shows exactly what those practices entailed, especially in regards to pentagrams, inverted or otherwise... >or the inquisition witchcraft trials Again, just because the Inquisition prosecuted and persecuted people who it accused of witchcraft, does not PROVE that the victims of the Inquisition indeed practiced witchcraft, nor if any of them did practice witchcraft, what the exact practices were... >or even john dee ? As far as I know, Dee was never accused of Satanic practices or of doing evil? Only with practicing magick? >The hexagram was known to biblical intellect Proof? Historical evidence shows that the supposed "Seal of Solomon" dates perhaps as early as the Middle Ages, but more likely from Renaissance times; it most definitely does not date back to biblical times....
