Hello,
I had a think about your symbol and had a wee think back.
Its always difficult to put a meaning to symbols without some kind of background information (ie the context) so i am going to fish about and tell you what i know and you can see if it fits with how you feel?
So Pentacle itself. Its not actually got a right or wrong way up, its still the same idealology whichever way it stands. The only people who ever say its the wrong way up are people who are relatively inexperienced or have read too much dogma.
The 'upsidedown' pentacle being part of the satanic movement is not really true and is a very modern idea especially if you stick a goat inside it. also its also atributed to the Freemasons but again, it is a pythogrean priniciple and the Masons were interested in the perfect angle and pythagorean priniciples but they didn't really do any thing with the pentacle and largely ignored the symbol.
So the pentacle is frequently used as a symbol within paganism and wiccan ideals but not as a bad symbol but usually as the symbol of the female principle.
its difficult to ascertain where the pentacle originally came from, its carved in very old caves, its written in old texts and has been the representation of a number of things including the 5 known planets and the wounds of christ.
the pentacle also has its roots in kabbalah teachings and the 5 points represent justice, mercy, wisdom, understanding, and transcendent splendor.
I am going to suggest that your symbol is reminiscant of the upper 5 sephiroth on the tree of life which co incidentally is being discussed on another thread of this forum today.
I hope that helps? I don't think your symbol is dangerous, i believe it to be important to you in your lifes journey and I wonder if you study Kabbalah? If you don't i suggest you have a look at the principles. My intuition tells me that you will find some of the answers you are looking for in the above texts.
Suzi
ps let me know what you think.
