pentacles, pentagrams, etc
For the people who are familiar with the band Slipknot, if any of you know the 9 pointed star they use an a symbol, what does it mean? My friend said it was satanic and i was wearing her sweater (which has that sign on the back of it) and i do not worship Satan by any means, does this sign offend anybody?
So can someone tell me what that means?
Thanks!

The Slipknot symbol was drawn by Joey Jordison and it represents the band itself, a point for all of the 9 members. The members pick the numbers 0-8 to represent themselves as the number 9 is the band as a whole. They however in their second album tour used a pentagram with 2 upward points with a goat in the middle/

I have this tattoed on my head it was something I decided to get about 10 or so years ago. The ninefold goddess is what is was called from the book of symbols I get it from but from further research I have done it looks like it is one of the symbols King Solomon used in magick ritual. I was also told that when the symbol was placed on the body it gives the wearer whatever thier heart desires.
My tatoo does not include the red design in the middle, but it is an interlocking nine pointed star like this.
also, in chaos magick a practitioner will make up a symbol and infuse it with energy directed towards a purpose it is called a "sigil" this reminded me of a sigil.
I don't really like Slipknot a whole lot. I saw them in concert a couple years ago and I have to say they are talented but the type of music is kind of depressing.
Hope that helps or will give you a direction to go in.
I don't think the symbol is an evil one. It has nothing really to do with the five pointed star.

I'm fairly sure (99% sure) that the Slipknot sign doesn't mean anything, it's just a design that they liked and made their own symbol. A Satanic pentacle, like Saint_Gasoline said, is just a five-pointed star 'upside down' in usually a double circle with a goat's head in the center.

It's not Satanic at all--it's Wiccan. Wicca is a form of the Pagan religion. Wiccans definitely do not worship Satan or indeed believe in him. Wiccans like to say, "If it harm none, let it be." All the pentacle means is love yourself, love nature, respect all life, and don't hurt anybody. You should check out the Association of Smith Pagans website ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)) for more info, I'd gladly go on but I'm in a hurry at the moment. But basically, the symbol only offends ignorant people who don't know what it means.
