I don't see many (or any so far) LDS showing up here definding the Inverted Pentagram being on their Temple.

I wonder why that is?

Selective/elective ignorance ... they kind of hope it will just fade away as an issue. But please, don’t ping the BBgunner.

In Greek mythology, Mormo was a spirit who bit bad children, said to have been a companion of the goddess Hecate. The name was also used to signify a female vampire-like creature in stories told to Greek children by their nurses to keep them from misbehaving.

The words "mormo" and "Mormon" are found in Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary, 1974, p. 1169:
mormo, n. a bugbear; false terror. [Obs.]
Mormon, n. [Gr. mormon, a bugbear.]

the puffins, a genus of sea birds characterized by a short, thick beak.

I think the inverted pentagram is worthy of it's own thread. I've never heard of it in the Mormon context, but I'm sure it would rate up the with the Hollow Earth theory.
