What does this symbol mean? Obviously it looks like it might be satanic, but I have no idea.?

Question

I saw it sray-painted on the wall of the Waverly Sanitorium while I was watching a show the other night. It might not mean anything for all I know. The pic sucks, but I made it on paint in like 10 seconds, and the pc I'm using is a dinosaur. http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w160/jesus_h_christ_/temp.jpg?t=1193686269">

Okay, so I guess it's harder for people to see why I thought it was Satanic than I thought. Regarding my first answer, I said it looks Satanic because I have virtually no knowledge at all of the Santeria religion. If you've ever seen the Satanic pentagram, you know that it is commonly seen with the face of
Satan (it is a goat, for those of you who think that satan looks like a red-faced man with horns and a pointy tail) inside the inverted star. The two points at the top contain his horns, the center is his head, the bottom his snout, and the sides contain his ears. My first thought was Satanism because of the resemblence to the Satanic or inverted pentagram. The markings inside the center look like eyes if you think of it in that context. Perhaps that will clear it up a little.

Also, Joy Full has come up with pretty plausble answer. I never even made the connection to Spy Vs. Spy. I was stuck on something a little more sinister I guess. but the question is still open, if anyone actually knows.

Answer 1

You must be thinking of a pentagram. I think it looks like one of the characters from the old spy vs. spy cartoons in Mad Magazine.

Answer 2

in the beginning of the Pentagram isn't a satanic image whilst the best is pointed upward, in reality you will locate it in a great number of older church homes. It represents the 5 components with Aether exalted above all of them, it additionally represents the 5 wounds of Christ. An inverted Pentagram is intended to be a mockery of that, with aether on the backside and the baser components exalted above the others. Off the best of my head i do no longer think of there are any satanic symbols that look like a famous person of David, yet i could ought to honestly see the emblem.

Answer 3

I see it as more of a representation of a fox, or, perhaps a very stylized racoon (the latter based on the "hands" or paws)

Perhaps it is someone's idea of a cat, and, what I thought of as "hands," may actually be whiskers.

In any case, it is no symbol I recognize, and may only be some taggers "sig."

Answer 4

That looks about as satanic as Chad.

Answer 5

why do people always say something is satanic??? my first thought was hmmmm maybe Santería which is far from satanic......

Also if you say it spray painted it could be a locals "tag"
