It was developed by Pythagoras, and collectively signifies cosmic unity in the form of The Decad, as well as the musica universalis, or collective abstraction of the music generated by heavenly cosmic bodies.

This allows them to place the goat-head within the figure. In addition, according to writers such as Levi, this was the "infernal" orientation, and thus seemed the appropriate orientation for Satanism. Finally, the point-down figure represents spirit subsumed by the four physical elements, rejecting the notion that the physical world is dirty and taboo and that the spirit should rise about it.

The inverted pentagram symbol looks like an upside down star. Has come to be seen by many pagans as representing the dark side and it is abhored as an evil symbol. Fundamental christians, indeed, see any form of pentagram as such.

If the Priest simply remains where he is, perhaps sitting on a stool in front of the Priestess, they essentially meld together into a Priest-Priestess, a very apt image of Baphomet as Two-in-One. In fact, if the Priest holds their Lance erect, both the erect phallus and breasts of Baphomet would be represented in this Priest-Priestess arrangement. Then, each Congregant would be communing with Baphomet, rather than Nuit or Babalon. Hodapp, Christopher (2005). "A crash course in Templar history". Freemasons for Dummies.

It is a star of eight rays. I recognize it as the star in the seventeenth key of the Tarot, as the Star of Mercury.” The pentagram was used in ancient Chinese and Japanese religions to symbolize the five elements of life.

The Pitchfork comes from Pluto/Hades, the Greek god of the underworld. While his usual attribute is a sceptre, indicating his sovereignty, this was sometimes depicted as a bident or two-pronged pitchfork.
