ARGH! No, no, no, no!
From the site I linked above:

Inverted Pentagram
The pentagram may be inverted with one point down. The implication is of spirit subservient to matter, of man subservient to his carnal desires. The inverted pentagram 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. However, these are recent developments and the inverted pentagram is the symbol of Gardnerian second degree initiation, representing the need of the witch to learn to face the darkness within so that it may not later rise up to take control.

Personally, I like this one for a Pentagram indicator, and it'll probably be one of the ones I include:
I have a comparable YinYang too ...
(Edit: btw, I know you guys aren't saying the Pentacle, whether right-side up or upside down, is evil, I'm just mostly having some fun) |
