It is my undocumentable recollection that the inverted pentagram, as being the pyramid reversed (ie: spirit subjugated by matter, rather than v/v), dates back at least to the 19th Century. I'm not sure when the idea to superimpose the inverted pentagram upon Eliphaz Levi's image of Baphomet was first coined. I first saw it done in about '66 or '67. 418 ... Return!

Area: THE_OASIS To: All 24 Apr 92 12:19:58 Subject: Book Cataloging Program? UpdReq Greetings to All! Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Does anyone know of a shareware program designed to help catalog one's list of books and manuscripts? I heard about it in a message that was dated for March, and the person who left the message has not responded to my request as to on what BBS it can be found yet. If ANYONE could help me with more information on this particular program, please leave me a message on this base. Thanks! Love is the law, love under will.
