Getting rid of Pentagrams

Since fork-bending seems to be an indicator, we need a baseline.

- Throw a dinner party.
-> Include a good amount of wine.
-> Tell guests there'll be magic involved.
-> Serve bite-sized food that should be eaten w/ forks, but can be finger food.
- Count forks that bend versus forks that don't bend.

Ok, so we have a baseline, say 3 forks are bent quite a bit and 2 are slightly bent. We can't assume slight bends weren't from guests who wanted to be in on the fun, so we stick with the 3.

Now, assuming that any new penta won't be as effective (unless you go professional, which might be challenging), it would probably be more useful to add a penta than to destroy what might be a very powerful penta. It would be nice to make this a temporary thing, but we're not sure how the process works, so lets copy the original as much as we can, but find a locale that can be repaired easily. A concrete floor would be perfect, since you can easily patch it later. Make a template from the current penta and create another one somewhere else. Repeat the dinner party and count the bent forks. More forks = we've made it worse. Destroy both. Fewer forks = we've made it better. Penta your heart out.

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.
Reminds me of a Norwegian church gate that was in the news a couple of years ago. The blacksmith who made it (about 50 years ago) installed a row of five-pointed stars in circles (pentacles) along the top, but in more or less random orientation. When some young people noticed that some of them had one point pointing DOWN and notified the priest, he had the gate "repaired" immediately...

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
If it was burned, it might also come through paint. There is always some tar in charred wood, and it will come through most kinds of paint. There are laquers that can be put on as a barrier, though.

Sorry, Zaary, but now you may have to add Mayday.
 
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.

Humm... that's actually the best way I've seen that argument formulated.
 
Pfft... Delphi is AGAIN talking out of his behind. Only HEXAGRAMS have any TURE meaning, man.

Forget the sanding. I suggest painting it up a little:
