Pentagram

“Typography is everywhere. Signs are everywhere. It’s like painting with words, and everybody has to look at it. Graphic design is everywhere!”. A good majority of what she does at Pentagram, the design firm she is employed at, is typography. She has done books, album covers including that for Boston’s “More Than a Feeling” (which she hates, admittedly), and the logo for Citibank. The importance of typography, according to Scher, is…

I have been born 3 times. The first time was 13.8 billion years ago, when the universe began to exist. The second time was on November 24, 1997, when my mother brought her second child into the world. The third time I was born, and the time most relevant to this discussion, was on a sweaty afternoon in Sophomore year when a girl asked me for bus money, and I decided it was time I learned to accept the first two. So here I am, made up of atoms that are 13.8 billion years old, a body almost 19…

her digestive system. The husband decides to contact the yogurt-obsessed spirit. He comes home with grocery bags filled with yogurt cups and arranges them around in a circle. Then he grabs spoons from the cutlery drawer and arranges them into a pentagram. His wife walks in just as he finished setting everything up and she goes off on him, telling him to get rid of it. She storms off to her car and he follows after her. While they’re gone, all of the off-brand, non-Activia yogurt begins to shake,…

ritual sites and satanic cult meetings to symbolize the door in which a demon will be called. The triangle pointing downward shape represents the goatee beard of the Baphomet - a universal symbol of Satanism that is made up of a goat head in a pentagram that can be found on the cover of The Satanic Bible. Symbolism for the Baphomet can again be seen about thirty seconds into Gaga’s music video when the stars in the sky align and form the shape of a goat head- an alternative symbol for the…

Have you ever heard of Jack Wright? Not many students in his college heard of him either. By teachers he’s known as the quiet, shy, little Einstein who’s a hard and an ambitious worker. You rarely see Jack because he’s either in class or in his dormitory doing homework or studying for tests ahead of time. Jack always gets prefect scores on his papers, tests and quizzes, which makes a lot of the other students jealous and furious. Jack doesn’t have many friends; actually he doesn’t have any, if…

As they entered the gates at long last, Veronica saw that many other mothers — who probably didn’t have as much reason as she to be paranoid — had the exact same idea. There were children on harnesses to prevent them from running and getting lost in a crowd. Children in strollers and children being held tight by the hand or wrist. Veronica approved. Brayden was happily munching on his cotton candy, coming up with a pink mustache where his wet lips kept dipping into the spun sugar. Veronica’s…

1. Suckerfish "Fuck" is all I can say while reading the time and day on the home screen of my iPhone. I overslept. Today. Technically I'm supposed to be taking an Algebra II exam right now, but that didn’t exactly go as planned. It's supposed to be really important, but in the last couple of months I've managed to completely fuck up my entire life. I’ve lost track of everything. According to my iPhone, it's mid-June, which means that we are in end of school year exam time, but I'm just so over…

who then was about 8 years old took action since the girls were apparently alone in the house. The older sister ran downstairs to make some holy water with salt, which she then sprinkled on her sister and in every corner of the house. When she was finished there were bruises around the little sister’s neck but the bruja was gone, having fled outside and up into a tree. It never bothered them again! Various prayers and “sound prayers” work. “Ya Baha’u’llah!” has cleansed many a home, and the…
