The pentagram is the symbol of satanism.
I guess the Wiccans turn it upside down and say that makes it a good symbol but I doubt if that changes anything.
I see you mentioned Aleister Crowley. My understanding is Crowley's son died during one of his satanic rituals and then Crowley went insane.
I think Crowley went to a party one time and pulled his pants down and went to the bathroom on the floor. He told the guests this was a great honor for them.
I heard Jimmy Page had lived in Crowley's house for awhile.
'The Man With The Sticks' is on the cover of Led Zeppelin IV. Then they wrote a song called 'Four Sticks'. I guess they themselves are four of the sticks in that bundle.
I bet there are exactly 144,000 sticks in that bundle. Notice 144 is 12 * 12.
