Mortianna's black magic altar includes a cloth decorated with a pentagram, and an inverted cross. These symbols only became associated with witchcraft in relatively recent times, however. In the Middle Ages an inverted cross was known as a St Peter's Cross because of the tradition he asked to be crucified upside down, as he believed he was unworthy to die in the same manner as Christ. It was considered a symbol of Christian humility and was also used by Peter's successors as head of the Church, the Pope. The Pentagram was a common device used in the Middle Ages to represent the Five Wounds of Christ.
