Pentagram Gate

This occult-looking pentagram decorates a very old cast-iron gate on Main Street in Richmond.

  1. While I've known about this little tidbit for awhile, I still can't rightly understand what the motivation would be for an inverted pentagram in this instance. Puzzling evidence, as the man sayeth.

  3. Could be Order of the Eastern Star, but if so, they took some liberties and oversimplified the motif.
