Yennefer wearing a Satanist Necklace?

[Ðatisan]

Am I the only who's noticed this? She is wearing a Satanic Pentagram Necklace, I searched Google and there is no mention of it, What does the Satanic Cult have to do in this game?

"The real meaning of the Pentagram:

When it isn't iinverted, it symbolizes magic or a state of mind that aims to semd as much of their own and the world's spiritual matter back to the Transcendental Planes of Reality.

Whilethe Pntagram, is worn or used in an "inversed"[1*] position. it means the person is practicing magic or honing a state of mind that aims to draw spiritual matter, psychological energy. knowledge, and so on, to themselves or to the world in general."

You are confusing pentagram and pentacle.

Pentacle is five pointed star, upward pointing. Pentagram five pointed star, downward pointing. Both have different names and uses in various real world faiths and literature/game lores.

In the vartious witcher games this is a symbol used in sign casting and worn by magic users, it has no connection or connotation with satanism that I know of. Eastern and Western pagan history and mythology is loosely woven into the mythos of the witcher stories and games, and its symbolism is also used in a loose way.

^ Clarification- the pentagram has no connection with satanism in the witcher mythos.

Well, yes and no. It's been used across the globe since the stone age (literally) and shows up all over the place, from the far east to northern europe and everywhere in between. Sadly, Hitler pretty much ruined it for everyone.

Oh, and it was hardly ironic that it symbolizes luck; that's precisely why Hitler used it.

Isnt that just how people view Pentagram's today? I thought it was to do with Wicca (Witchcraft) which is appropriate.

The pentagram today is nothing more than an emo symbol an Yenn fits the bill.
It's a necklace that says: "I'm a colossal b!tch, stay away"

[zanzibar_007]

so we can say that about Keira, Fringilla, Triss, all of them have necklace, a strange one...

For her (and everyone else that wears it), its a symbol of her beliefs and culture. Nothing more. Emo wasn't a thing in that time. Just because you don't like Yenn doesn't mean you have to disfigure the culture behind the game.

It's not satanic....enough said.

Does the universe of Witcher even have something similar to Hell?

Yes. Ofcourse there is an alternative for the Church of Eternal Fire. However, there is a Skellige version, and a Elven version. This series corresponds with Slavic/Polish culture, so read up on their culture. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

Nice. So much for unbiased opinions. Thanks for sharing. Speaking as a Christian.

Personally I think "Satanism"--even LaVeyan Satanism which is essentially dogmatic atheism--is rather dumb, but this implicit association of satanism = evil that the OP was getting at is foolish. There are evil Satanists and there are evil Christians and there are evil mailmen, I don't see how saying this could bother anyone.

Was the OP bothering you? I'm not a religious person but I think we should respect the OP's concern. Anyway religion isn't something we should be discussing here as it might not end well.

OP, no. The pentagram symbolizes magic and power in this game. It has nothing to do with real life symbolisms.

Whatever that hell is it I think it has merged with the world Geralt has been in. It isn't really hell I guess, just another world that has fiends and hellish monsters...

... does the Eternal Fire mention damnation for sins or something? I wonder how much worse the monsters there would be. :D

The OP conflated Satanism with villainy. That is an erroneous claim.
