The open or incomplete pentagram (Goethe; Taylor, tr., Faust: a Tragedy, 1889)

Text: none Quote: MEPHISTOPHELES. Well, we'll consider: thou canst gather My views, when next I venture in. Might I, perhaps, depart at present? FAUST. Why thou shouldst ask, I don't perceive. Though our acquaintance is so recent, For further visits thou hast leave. The window's here, the door is yonder; A chimney, also, you behold. MEPHISTOPHELES. I must confess that forth I may not wander, My steps by one slight obstacle controlled,--- The wizard's-foot, that on your threshold made is. FAUST. The pentagram prohibits thee?

And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped

The satyr as representation of the devil (Réville, Histoire du diable, 1870)

Text: "The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest." Isaiah 34:14 Quote: [...] C’est aussi vers le même temps que la forme corporelle du diable devient quelque chose d’arrêté: c’est celle des anciens faunes et satyres, le front cornu, la bouche lippue, la peau velue, une queue, le pied fourchu du bouc ou le sabot du cheval.
