It's incredible how every point you made is incorrect. First, the pentagram didn't begin being associated with the occult until the mid 1800's - until then it was primarily associated, in the west, with Christianity. In the east, it was associated with the 5 elements. It wasn't until the rise of modern occultism that the orientation of the pentagram gained any sort of significance. Before then, in the west, it was mainly associated with Greek philosophy and mythology.
Second, a pentagram of any orientation has never represented man or the death of man - ever. Most of its current association with the occult stems from Crowley and his ravings. So, unless you believe a man that was basically a founding father of modern occultism (he wrote a book in a time where book writing was hard, so he gained influence), much of your dislike of the symbol comes from popular, if incorrect, group think.
With the history behind the symbol, it's as correct to say it's a symbol of well being and wholeness as it is to say that it's a symbol of protection from evil (Faust: A Tragedy has an instance of it being used for protection).
However, the orientation of the pentagram is still important here. As you say in the east it is associated with 5 elements, but still corner up. The pentagram has more interpretations, but I stated one of metaphysics (It is evident, that pentagram has shape of human - limbs).
Je to celkom pekne vylepsenicko ,ale pokial chces lore friendly tak aspon podla mna co sa tyka tejto hry ,tak pentagram tu cerpa namet zo stredoveku ked bol znamenim ochrany pred zlymi silami a aj v hre je to ukazane napriklak v queste kde mas rekonstruovat spomienky Iris a Olgierta a je tam na zemi nakresleny pentagram ,ktory sluzil Olgiertovi ako ochrana pocas praktizovania ciernej magie ,alebo aj v izbe toho oslepnuteho ucenca kde mu pentagram nakreslil priamo Gaunter O'dim ako akesi podakovanie za jeho zaujem a tiez sluzil ako ochrana ,ved sam mu povedal ,ze ak z neho vystupi ,zomrie. Nevravim ,ze je to zly mod ,tiez nemam rad satanistickych magorov ,ale mozno by si mal mierne poupravit popis a pridat tam nieco ako "zmena orientacie ,pretoze v dnesnych dnoch je pentagram satanistickym symbolom" ,pripadne tam pridat non-lore friendly ,pretoze verim ,ze vela ludi sem pride v ocakavani ,ze obdrzia mod ,ktory je nazvime to "realisticky vzhladom na dobu do ktorej je hra ,ci knihy situovane" a to aj napriek tomu ,ze to je fantasy zaner ,cize totalne vymysleny :D ,ale proste potom mozu byt niektory mudrci iritovany ako tu tento kolega a snazit sa ti davat lekcie z historie ,lebo ved nikto z nas urcite nevie co to je pentagram a co kedysi znamenal ,rovnako ako nikto nevieme ,ze hakovy kriz kedysi neznamenal to co dnes znamena pre vacsinu ludi ,kedze ho nackovia zneuzili ,lebo vsetci sme tu nevzdelani tupci a tak sa vzdy najde zopar kurevsky inteligentnych genitalov ,pardon geniusov ,ktory nas o tom radi a s velkym odhodlanim poucia ,akurat akosi pozabudaju na to ,ze tu nie sme v skole na hodinach dejepisu ,ale na stranke zaoberajucej sa vylepseniami do pocitacovych hier ,co je mimochodom a len cistou nahodou novodoba zalezitost ,ktora ma pramalo spolocne s historiou ,kedze pocitace ako vieme este pred par desiatkami rokov boli ciste fantasy :) ,no a tiez akosi tyto jedinci zvyknu zabudat na fakt ktory sa da zhrnut jednou jednoduchou vetou - "ak sa ti nelubi ,nestahuj a tahaj do p... a hlavne si svoje rozumy nechaj pre niekoho ,koho to skutocne bude zaujimat" :)
probably could. However, Yennefer's obsidian star is typical for her as the wolf medallion for Geralt. Therefore, I think Yenn should have a necklace. And thank you for the compliment.
