Many individuals and orders up to our time have used the pentagram. The Roman Emperor Constantine, who converted to Christianity, used the pentagram as his personal sigil on rings, amulets and seals.
The pentagram has also been used and related to Christianity. Up to the medieval times, the five points of the pentagram represented the five wounds of the man they call Jesus Christ and the Holy Cross. The symbol was always mend to be a symbol of goodness, and later used to represent the four elements and the Spirit of mankind.

Holy Fuck!!! is that a styrofoam cup in there!?

word

Let the night terrors begin

is that wood paneling on that back wall? this place almost looks like a bar

"Most Santanists display the pentagram upside down "

Actually, when it's displayed with the star pointing upwards it's known as a "pentiCLE" It's used as a symbol in Wicca, and other Earth based religions. With the point down, it's a "pentaGRAM" and it's used in Satanism.

Not too big of a deal, but it just irks me to no end seeing the terms confused/misused.

creepy....

Hey Dave!
What exactly is "formstone" Is this what the two castles are made of?
Can you give some examples of what it would have been used for? Thanks!

A friend of mine told me that when he was a child of about 7 or 8, his mother worked at Pennhurst. He and his brother used to rought house and call each other names, "retard, stupid". His mother was so fed up with her 2 boys one day that she took them to work with her and put them on one of the "low grade" wards and left them there for the day. He said it was an experience he will never forget. He saw first hand the fesses on the wall and patients, most were nude at one time or the other.

On a better note, she also used to bring patients home for holidays. Things like that were easier back then, law suits were not lurking behind every good deed.

Also, Phantom if your still lurking around, please stop destroying Pennhurst with your immature graffitti. Most of us go there to take in the history and explore things we are trying to understand, differences in cultural acceptance, lost childhoods, historic buildings, and people like you feel the need to ruin everything in your path. Why?
