Some friends were removing the carpet in the living room of their new flat in North Finchley and on doing so found one of these:
It's a seal of solomon hexagram, designed to ward off demons.
It was all professionally done, with the inner circle made up of chevrons, and all black and gold. Proper devil worship stuff. I have to say, I don't think I'd feel very comfortable with that in my house. They're laughing it off, but you can feel the despair.
Time to hire that sander.
Spooky.

That would completely freak me out and I doubt that I would be able to live there. I lived in a house in Islington and one housemate (who used to work for your brother) had to leave. When he moved out I looked in his room and he'd left a thing that looked a bit like that made out of stones on the floor. I was well spooked (it was also at the time of the Blair Witch Project) so could have just been having a laugh .... who knows?
I wouldn't worry. The previous inhabitants were probably Goths.
I'm frightened.
Of course, given Finchley is a very Jewish area, it could just be an ornate Star of David. (Or so you could try telling your friends.)
We tried that Squirrel, and I think they felt relieved. But they didn't buy it. And Clair, if goths could make such a well-crafted, professional looking hexagram then I take my (witch's) hat off to them.
I'd swop a bloody hexagram for a burnt out block of flats next door to my house any day.
When are they going to fix those flats then? It's been ages.
GRRRRRRRRRRR! And people are asking when I'm going back into therapy. All I need is the council to make an effing decsision.....
I once went out with a guy and one day he invited me back to see his devil worship paraphenalia. Needless to say I made my excuses and didn't see him again. That is pretty scary. You might need to arrange an excorsism.
It's only a bit of wall geometry. Nowt to worry about there.
Tell 'em to sand it off, or get the House Doctor 'round to make a 'feature' of it!
I wonder if the previous occupants moved on to one of the outlying South Downs villages ( no names mentioned; I've seen 'Rosemary's Baby') where there are a number of thriving covens who 'keep the old ways'?
I wouldn't want to spend Walpurgis Night in that house. Even though I am an atheist/easily scared former Catholic.
The latest is 'they're fine' with it. But methinks it's a smokescreen. I'd been living in terror, bit of geometry or not.
