Absinthe Bourgeois Cat Skins For iPad 3

Absinthe is a very powerful alcoholic beverage (45%–74% ABV). If you have never tried it but are familiar with drinking in the American South, think white lightning. It was illegal in the US and many European countries beginning about 1915, and remained illegal until the 1990s. Commercial distillation of absinthe in the United States resumed in 2007. It achieved great popularity as an alcoholic drink in late 19th- and early 20th-century France, particularly among Parisian artists and writers. Due in part to its association with bohemian culture, absinthe was opposed by social conservatives and prohibitionists. Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Vincent van Gogh, and Aleister Crowley were all notorious 'bad men' of that day who were (or were thought to be) devotees of the Green Fairy.

Ornate Pentacle, Pentagram, ancient look 2inch Vinyl Binder

This pentagram is a little bit ornate with celtic knotwork and the represented elements Spirit,Water,Fire,Earth and Air inscribed on the points and a bit of an ancient look. The pentacle, pentangle or pentagram is a symbol of faith to Wiccans and other pagan and neopagan faiths, the 4 lower points representing the elements and the top point representing the spirit.
The pentagram is also used in masonic illustration or used by individual Freemasons, but its not very much officially mentioned in their text.
Some people mistakenly believe pentagrams are just evil but in history pentacles and pentagrams have been used in Christianity, the 5 points represent the 5 wounds of Jesus for example. An inverted pentacle was even used in the city seal of Jerusalem. Its also a Chinese and east Asian symbol, used in feng shui and Taoism and Arabic cultures as the haykal.
Inverted pentacles are commonly known to be a satanic symbol, but historically not always really it is up to the individual. Certainly Alesister Crowely's interpretation that a downward pointing pentacle represents evil has influenced the modern perception.
In the contemporary age, people just like it because it looks cool and fashionable an accessory of heavy metal, death metal and Goth even cyberpunk genre's. As a symbol it evolves and finds a place in many cultures and sub-cultures.
My designs here are correct geometric representations, constructed using vector graphics, I also like to incorporate the Celtic style, as it is part of the pentagrams geometry, that it can be drawn in a single line, without lifting the pen. These ones are just solid, bold colors, basic good looks, great fashion accessories on tshirts and gifts, making them an essential for anyone looking for pentacles or pentagrams.
