"Why is there a pentagram on your website?"
It isn't a satanic symbol. For most of its history, it never was.
The five-pointed star is one of the oldest symbols we have. Long before it picked up a horror-movie reputation, medieval Christians used it for the Five Wounds of Christ — the two hands, the two feet, and the pierced side. It's carved into Gothic cathedrals and set in their stained glass.
In pagan and folk traditions, those same five points stand for the elements — earth, air, fire, water, and the spirit that binds them — ringed by a circle for the world holding it all together.
The "evil" version is modern, and it's upside down. The inverted, goat-headed pentagram was popularized in the 1800s and only became a formal satanic emblem in the 1960s. Ours points up. It's the old one: the wounds, the elements, the craft.
Flip the tabs on the star to read it both ways.

JARS is a proudly Catholic studio. We believe in conservatism, the small-c kind, conserving what's worth keeping: craft, tradition, and care for the work.
We also believe in love and respect for every single person who walks through the door. Our team already spans more than one faith, and it has never once changed how we see each other. Brothers and sisters of every religion are welcome here. What you believe will never change how we treat you.
Dark aesthetic, warm house.
