RIP Cohost 2024. You were the best social media site to have ever been done. Long live eggbug. If you're seeing this in the future, on some archive, be kind to others. It's the only way things get better.

in reply to @cool-wizards's post:
i truly do not know! i went a-hunting for some possible context (this took a while); there... isn't really any, at least not that provides any kind of explanation. this piece is cover art for a 1990 amiga game called SATAN in which you play as a shirtless sword-fight guy in the first part and a wizard in the second part (hence the transformation). you fight satans with magic spells, i guess?? every enemy is satan and some of them are carrying around wizards you can rescue? scrolls are involved in some capacity?
the gameplay clips i could find show some giant floating... discs? magic discs? with stars of david on them. my best guess is that it's being deployed as a general "magical/mysical-looking symbol" . or maybe someone thought the wizard who is fighting satan should be religious in some way?
a little bit about the game: https://gamesnostalgia.com/game/satan
this is the manual, which explains nothing lol. it makes some reference to "divinity" but the whole thing is so jumbled that i don't know what they mean. https://www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Microsoft_DOS/manual/Formated/Satan.pdf
that's so funny. wikipedia says hexagrams appear in various other religious contexts, so that adds some credence to it being used as a generic magical symbol. or maybe it was made by people with some very confused conceptions of jews.
I loved it in Fellowship when Aragorn turned his back to the Balrog and then Animorphed into Moses. Classic scene.
