I am the honored one and the scorned one.
I am the whore and the holy one...
I am the silence that is incomprehensible...
I am the utterance of my name."

I'm in conniptions for the final act you came here for,
The one derivative you manage is the one I abhor,
I need a minute to elaborate for everyone the everyday bullshit things that you have done.

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
I mean come on, enough Satanic drivel, you turn a pretty star upside down and suddenly it's evil, and the sign of the devil? (and seriously a goat representing the devil? Goats never struck me as the rulers of the underworld. If you ask me someone just got lazy and the first thing that came to the persons mind when flipping the star upside down was a goats head. Almost as bad as the swastika where they just decided to flip the symbol of peace around, (end rant)).
Also why would these wardens be akin to the wardens (Catumaharaja Deva) of Buddhism as the wardens creed is obviously Christian in nature?
On a side note, if anyone is interested in the symbols contained within the pentagram, I have researched several runic languages, several "witchcraft" languages, kana, kanji, etc. but have found no correlation to the symbols represented. The closest I got was an alchemist symbol that matches the symbol that almost looks like a triton, and that stands for Cincere clavelati, which can be best described thusly,
"Carbonate. Its chief use seems to have been medical, though it had some application in mordanting. The dregs of wine were sometimes dried and carbonized, giving a product (cineres clavelati) containing a high proportion of potash."
Below are two of my sources for the above finding.

So thus, in conclusion, the symbols and script throughout the pentacle as a whole, are based upon "occult" symbols and scripts, but don't have any real definition, outside of what definition they may be given in the actual canon.
Prove me wrong, but seriously it wouldn't kill you to get the symbols right, would it? A little circle here, another bar there... And you even took out Hellsing's name.
