I've been reading and thinking. The Pentacle (a 5 sided start enclosed in a circle) is a very old symbol dating back to Sumer (the first known human civilazation).
It was only in 1966 that this symbol became used in a satanic context.
Before that, all pagan symbols (especially those used on cards and in games) were looked at distrustfully by Christians.
The banning of tarot, for instance, was in large part due to the depiction of 'false' gods and associated symbology that did not fit well in European Christiandom.
The use of this symbol (even reversed as it is here) is actually quite appropriate at this very large, worldwide gaming event.
It is reversed, however, and set on fire as an obvious nod to a more recent worship of Satan.
But even Lucifer's story has been twisted from its original, more benign beginnings into something much more evil.
I don't agree with the blatant anti-christian trend of globalists today. But I do believe that the use of the pentacle at the Winter Games to be appropriate and well thought out.
I don't remember the Olympic flame being an obvious nod to Satanism... this isnt the best pic, but the upside down pentagram in a circle is pretty blatant.

The pentacle is also popular symbolgy in tarot, the precursor to today's traditional card games, which was vilified by early European Christian churches.
...So the pentacle has historic ties to Greek and Roman culture and has associated with games for ages.
The use of the torch at the Olympics fits in really nicely. Setting the pentacle on fire with a torch was very well done.
Still... they inverted the pentacle. Which is interesting. I don't know where the inverted pentacle was first seen being used, but in the 1800s it took on its own meaning:
From AI:
The earliest known descriptions of the reversed pentacle (inverted pentagram) as a symbol of opposition or inversion come from 19th-century occult writings, particularly those of Eliphas Lévi, a French occultist. In his 1854 work Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie, Lévi explicitly stated that an inverted pentagram—pointing downward—symbolized the "triumph of matter over spirit" and was associated with evil, representing a reversal of the natural cosmic order. He described it as a sign of "the goat of lust attacking the heavens with its horns," linking it to demonic forces.
...I still think this may be a purposeful nod to a modern anti-christian globalist view. It's definitely Satanic.
But of course, Satan is a really a bastardized characterization of Lucifer.
So, to not include Satan in the modern context ignores the importance of our current state.
In this regard, the artwork was complete, scary red flames and all.
