Getting rid of Pentagrams

As the Jamaican said to the guy who had stepped on a sea urchin:

Pees on eet, mon.
 
OK, aside from the fact that these 'weird occurances' sound like miedra del toro, pentagrams (five pointed stars encircled) are not evil symbols. From the perspective of Paganism, a pentagram is (as others have pointed out) just a symbol. They have no power, in and of themselves. Those who use them come in two varieties: Wiccans and other Pagans, whose central philosophy is often entirely harmless; and Satanists, whose rituals couldn't summon a bad odor if they had all been eating beans and cabbage.

Suggestion 1: Forget about them. They're just defacement of property. Resand your floors, or leave the scratches under the carpet. They have nothing to do with these 'strange occurances', I guarantee it.

Suggestion 2: Visit your local bookshop and pick up something by Ray Buckland or Raven SilverWolf or something similar in that area of your bookstore. Look for some kind of cleansing ceremony or ritual. Burn sage and cedar, and waft the smoke around the pentacles, clockwise. Say prayers, whatever. It won't do anything more or less than the pentacles are doing, but it might make you (and him) feel better.

Suggestion 3: Join the 21st Century with the rest of us. Grow up and stop playing at spooks.
 
I suppose the pentagram MIGHT come back up through new paint on the floor, if it was the result of mold. It happened in our porch. Unfortunatly, it wasn't a cool shape to impress dinner guests - we just kept getting asked, 'what are all those yellow circles?' and having to answer, 'well, Dad thought it would be a great idea to paint the porch that day when it was raining ....' :D

Sorry Folks. This is not a joke. We had hoped for some practical answers (thanks to those who suggested some), but maybe I should drop the whole thing on this forum. Yes, he knows about the million dollars, but is afraid to become too visable with these things. Several of our family members can do "uncommon" things, but we have to live in a "normal" society so have to downplay them in public.

For one, I'm tempted to call 'BS' as well, Pachez. But that's just the skeptic in me. Could you explain why he wouldn't be interested in the million? I think a million bucks, especially taken from the JREF, could put away a lot of the odd stares you might be anticipating should this 'come out into the open'. Heck, I'd put up with a lotta crap for a million bucks.

Also, as this is an anonymous forum, and you don't run the risk of being outed, could you elaborate on some of the "uncommon" things that some of your family members can do?

I can't believe I just had reason to post this picture again!

Man, when I am hungry, nothing discourages me from eating. The forks can bend, windows can rattle, demons can appear in my alphabet soup. I don't care. I'm hungry.

Well I would leave the symbols in place. If you have a haunted house it might be worth more after it is fixed up.

Stigmatized real estate is hot right now.
 
Yeah, I think installing/upgrading pentagrams only adds about $5k in value to the house. Aramaic stenciling on the walls is just as easy, and they say it adds up to $10k in house value! You really have to have an artistic hand with the stenciling, because it should really look like someone was possessed when they wrote it.

To be honest, I think most people can't tell the difference from Klingon or Aurubesh in a pinch - just make it artsy!

And those cute little dolls hiding the toilet paper are back in, if their heads spin around 360 degrees!
 
They're really just two-hop and fully-connected wiring diagrams for 5-node processing clusters.

Exactly why they'd be inscribed in your floor I have no idea. Perhaps it was built on the site of an ancient Indian data centre?
 
The pentagram/pentacle is a very old symbol and has been used by many people - it's even been used on Christian churches, I believe, to represent the five wounds of Christ. You'll also often find them on 19thC barns in parts of the Eastern US.
You don't say how big these pentagrams of yours are, but it sounds like they were put there as protection symbols, especially if they were oriented to a specific compass direction. If you want specific advice, go to Witchvox. They don't have a forum, but the people who run the site will be able to tell you much more about it and direct you to somebody local that you can talk to.

Isn't that always the way? It's so convenient. People never want to come forward. Suddenly they're so shy. Ever watch Fear Factor? I tell you what, if people will eat bull nuts for ten thousand bucks, this guy can come forward with a funky haunted house for a cool million.

Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket! We're talking about a MILLION dollars here. If I had that house, I wouldn't give a rats ass if the poltergeist or whatever was corn holing me with a bent spoon every night. I'd have Randi and his crew there so fast their heads would spin. They could conduct whatever tests on the house and me that they want! Take x-rays! Poke me with needles! Make me take test after test! I'll frickin' be on Oprah talking about my bent spoon anal rape for even more money before you can say 'Uri Geller'. Then I sell the old house to whomever wants it at a greatly inflated price since it's the world's first officially haunted house, and laugh my ass all the way to the bank.
 
How's about showing us a photo of the pentagrams? Then we can get our Pentagram Experts on the case to read the symbology properly. As we have already heard there are several different types of pentagram, some for good luck, some with demonological overtones, etc, etc.

Or if you prefer a pragmatic approach, we can see the damage to the floor and make a better assessment of ways you might get rid of them.

First things first, then - let's have some photos, then we know where we are!
 
I think it's troll causing the happenings.

Yes, definately a troll at work here.

And, yes, other people have witnessed them. It is discouraging to not be able to eat with metal forks and spoons because they bend on the way to your mouth and drop your food.

That happened to me last night.

I recomend that you stop ladling boiling stew out of a hot dish with a thin metal serving spoon that you're holding right at very end to avoid being burnt.
 
It's happened to me before too. Also cigarette butts were wriggling like maggots in the ashtray and the walls kind of breathe in time to the music that was playing.

But then the mushrooms wore off.
