That is the insignia for the Eastern Star, the five points are represented by a women of the Bible. Adah, Ruth, Esther, Martha, Electa. A lesser known appendant to the Masonic Lodge is Job's Daughters for young women 10-20. The whole thing is just misinterpreted due to the sworn secrecy and the speculation around the secrecy. Its nothing more than a fraternity of supposedly well standing men and women which are supposed to be vouched for in good community standing. They are very charitable on both sides however the Shriners are known for their ability to contribute.


OK. I'll give you all that, but... Why is the star upside down? That makes no sense.

Even the US military has used a 5 pointed star, but it has always been right side up.
