Looking through the The Cheshire Cat blog, I came across an article on scientology. It seems that our loveable Cat has posed a few question to the Scientology Website. There reply was prompt but not very informative. They did however, leave an interesting SYMBOL on the head of their reply. The link is a screen shot of their reply, and you will notice the symbol that the Cheshire Cat makes reference too. I thought I would shed some light on the meaning of this symbol.
The symbol you are referring too is the "Star of David" a six pointed star with "The Eye of Horus" in the centre. In symbolic terms, with regard to Christianity it would represent Satan, and 666, the sign of Satan. According to Christianity it is used in the Dark Arts and Black Magick and would be used to summon Demons and/or The Devil Himself. The Eye of Horus in the centre would be a sign to ward off evil. In relationship to each other they contradict.
Here is a link describing the meaning of the Star of David interesting read. Also another Link which gives a similar account.
Witches and most other Paganistic religion use the Pentagram (five pointed star) This symbol is universal to many, many systems of magick, including Wicca, as you know. The five-pointed star has supreme power over the Elements: Spirit, Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. It drives off negative influences and attracts positive ones. It is an essential part of the rite and there is no symbol that can take its place as effectively.
Witches carrying out a Banishing Ritual use the Star of David
The last part of the Invocation refers to a 'six-rayed star' and the mental work calls for imagining a Star of David. This is not a specifically Jewish symbol in this context. The six-pointed star, or hexagram, is the Qabalistic symbol par excellence of initiation and spiritual illumination. The upward-pointing triangle represents the aspiration of the magician to the Gods, and the downward-pointing triangle represents the divine power, flowing down to the world. These meet at the moment of magick and the interlaced triangles forming the hexagram symbolise the power of this meeting. Should you prefer not to use the Star of David, you can replace the mental image with any symbol showing the meeting of your soul and the power of the Goddess. This can even be a private symbol, one that is meaningful only to you.
Alternatively, you can just envision the sphere of white light from the Q-Cross, as a symbol of divine power. Replace the words about the 'six-rayed star' with some descriptive form: 'the seal of the Goddess,' or 'the sign of my Awakening,' or simply 'the light Divine.'
The Seven Seals of the Spirits MAGIA ALBA ET NIGRA UNIVERSALIS SEU NECROMANTIA That is, that which embraces the whole of the White and Black Art, (Black Magic,) or the Necromancy of all Ministering Angels and Spirits; how to cite and desire the nine Choruses of the good angels and spirits, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, and Moon.

merely an info dump...
The "S and double triangle" is a major symbol found throughout
Scientology. The "S" supposedly represents "Scientology" and the
two triangles Affinity-Reality-Communication and
Knowledge-Responsibility-Control. There is another possible
interpretation. The "S" seen on its own can easily be seen as a
snake. To Crowley, indeed, the "S" represented the tempting
serpent, Satan. Perhaps Hubbard's "thetan" is pronounced to match
with a lisped "satan"? He was after all wry in his humour. The
two triangles can be assembled differently to form the Star of
David, called the Seal of Solomon by magicians (94). This symbol
allegedly represents "tetragrammaton" the holy name of God which
must never be spoken. Perhaps breaking it apart is simlar to
hanging the Christian cross upside down.
The Hexagram used in the link you posted was an eye. Nowhere can I find reference (on Google) to an eye in the hexagram as being Scientology.
The "S" is found frequently, but not the "eye".
I can easialy imagine them to give it the meaning of clarity or something like that.
I don't think they use egyptian god forms...but I have no idea what they really do.
I agree with most, let them be...
If Beck wants to do the whole trip and can afford it, Power to Him.
All I can say is that I got a little side-degree or two that I'm sure he and the rest of them might be willing to pay $40,000.00 each for one nights "unveiling"...

"To Crowley, indeed, the "S" represented the tempting
serpent, Satan."
If you really want to know it was the "O" that represented Satan to Crowley, not the "S". This can at least be found in Liber Sameckh.
I'll match "The Cat's"10 points and two Hostess Twinkies to anyone who can show me Crowley attributing Satan to the "S".
Cheshire Cat's Ante:
Now, 10 points and a brownie to whoever can tell me where that symbol has been seen before. How utterly confusing. Also, he didn't tell me whether or not they were trying to sell a book! He made at least two spelling mistakes in that e-mail too.

Chris,
The symbol of the Hexagram with the eye in the middle was the header of a correspondance email to The Cheshire Cat and a link that I posted.
The Cat questioned them on the useage of the Symbol and there responce was to maintain that the Symbol got there by accident.
Hmmmm......
Maybe we should mail them ourselves to see if there is a reoccurrance.
