Langdon
always
hesitated
when
he
got
this
question
.
Telling
someone
what
a
symbol
»
meant
»
was
like
telling
them
how
a
song
should
make
them
feel
–
it
was
different
for
all
people
.
A
white
Ku
Klux
Klan
headpiece
conjured
images
of
hatred
and
racism
in
the
United
States
,
and
yet
the
same
costume
carried
a
meaning
of
religious
faith
in
Spain
.
«
Symbols
carry
different
meanings
in
different
settings
,
»
Langdon
said
.
«
Primarily
,
the
pentacle
is
a
pagan
religious
symbol
.
»
Fache
nodded
.
«
Devil
worship
.
»
«
No
,
»
Langdon
corrected
,
immediately
realizing
his
choice
of
vocabulary
should
have
been
clearer
.
Nowadays
,
the
term
pagan
had
become
almost
synonymous
with
devil
worship
–
a
gross
misconception
.
The
word
’
s
roots
actually
reached
back
to
the
Latin
paganus
,
meaning
country
-
dwellers
.
«
Pagans
»
were
literally
unindoctrinated
country
-
folk
who
clung
to
the
old
,
rural
religions
of
Nature
worship
.
In
fact
,
so
strong
was
the
Church
’
s
fear
of
those
who
lived
in
the
rural
villes
that
the
once
innocuous
word
for
»
villager
»
–
villain
–
came
to
mean
a
wicked
soul
.
«
The
pentacle
,
»
Langdon
clarified
,
»
is
a
pre
-
Christian
symbol
that
relates
to
Nature
worship
.
The
ancients
envisioned
their
world
in
two
halves
–
masculine
and
feminine
.
Their
gods
and
goddesses
worked
to
keep
a
balance
of
power
.
Yin
and
yang
.
When
male
and
female
were
balanced
,
there
was
harmony
in
the
world
.
When
they
were
unbalanced
,
there
was
chaos
.
»
Langdon
motioned
to
Saunière
’
s
stomach
.
«
This
pentacle
is
representative
of
the
female
half
of
all
things
–
a
concept
religious
historians
call
the
‘
sacred
feminine
’
or
the
‘
divine
goddess
.
‘
Saunière
,
of
all
people
,
would
know
this
.
»
«
Saunière
drew
a
goddess
symbol
on
his
stomach
?
»
Langdon
had
to
admit
,
it
seemed
odd
.
«
In
its
most
specific
interpretation
,
the
pentacle
symbolizes
Venus
–
the
goddess
of
female
sexual
love
and
beauty
.
»
Fache
eyed
the
naked
man
,
and
grunted
.
«
Early
religion
was
based
on
the
divine
order
of
Nature
.
The
goddess
Venus
and
the
planet
Venus
were
one
and
the
same
.
The
goddess
had
a
place
in
the
nighttime
sky
and
was
known
by
many
names
–
Venus
,
the
Eastern
Star
,
Ishtar
,
Astarte
–
all
of
them
powerful
female
concepts
with
ties
to
Nature
and
Mother
Earth
.
»
Fache
looked
more
troubled
now
,
as
if
he
somehow
preferred
the
idea
of
devil
worship
.
