I will do what I can to help out with it, though I may not have access to many references at this time. If anyone would like help with improving their citation tags, I would be happy to help. To begin with, I would direct anyone less familiar with the citation templates used on Knowledge to

broke away from the ruling class of Judah, Benjamin, and the Priests" does not reference any works or articles, but is dependent upon a knowledge of ancient literature. Lastly, and most offensively, the phrase "which gave the symbol and evil demented meaning" (sic) indicates an opinion, especially that of a strong bias against satanism (in addition to it's typo). These phrases do not seem to coincide with the spirit of Knowledge as a "strictly the facts" resource.
81: 22: 230:. It's very hard to make any kind of progress in a debate if one party doesn't state their position, but merely says "I disagree", or "I don't like it". I'm happy to keep chatting as long as it takes to resolve this properly, but in my view this argument has become so surreal it's comical. I'm not trying to offend you, but I think you should realise how far we've drifted from a constructive debate. Lets get things back on line. 454:

agree with the 'demented', but what is "disbelief of mysticism"? Is it like "disbelief in football"? As in you don't believe in pursuing the practice? Saying that the pentagram has "significance in mysticism" is like saying that the offside rule has a significance in football. You may not be

It's unfortunate that someone has added examples of the "filled-in" versions (i.e. seven-point stars that have lost the attributes that make them heptagrams); calling these heptagrams is a misnomer and these examples should really be moved here.

I know there are other stars not listed. Namely 9 pointed. I may be mistaken, but can stars go from 3 points up to N+1? If this is the case, Can a little bit of info on these other stars be added?
