Motto of the Order of the Eastern Star; stands for "Fairest Among Thousands, Altogether Lovely." F.A.T.A.L.

Order of the Eastern Star (OES)

Sisters of secrecy

Pentagram
You have it oriented nearly correct, The emblem of OES has a five-pointed upside-down star. This, of course, represents black magic, the Goat of Mendes, Baphomet, or his most popular name, Satan.

Not sure how much I can describe any of these on this forum, but now you know what your ring is. Gold is Gold and it looks to have some good weight to it! I don't sell any of my finds but I might consider it if I find one of those.

Thanks I don't sell either but after I dug it I had a few odd things happen

I would be putting that ring right back where it came from...exactly where it came from.
That or keeping it fully submerged in Holy Water...

HH,

That reminds me of the episode of Family Guy called 'Petergeist' where Peter finds an indian skull in his yard and all sorts of stuff happens to him until he returns it to where he dug it up.

But thats nothing, I could handle that. My Mother-In-Law is a witch! I tell people that and they are like...."Yeah, Mine too." NO, I mean mine REALLY is a witch! Like full blown, out of the closet or casket or cauldron or wherever witches hide, witch. She wears some witch necklace with this pentagram on it so other witches recognize her. I think she even tried to cast a spell on me once.

I'd sell it, maybe to someone that is interested in the gold and not preserving the item.

I am only as knowledgeable as what I can find online. Not everything on the internet is true, including the beliefs of these...people. Im sorry you thought I looked knowledgeable but at least you were able to determine I am not. You should take what you read on the internet with a grain of salt and not be surprised when you find fault with someone. Perhaps you should correct the Identification instead of merely saying it was wrong information. I'm pretty sure I could search for any of my own posts and add the statement "thats wrong info, folks" and it might be true because I couldn't possibly be right all the time. In fact, if I did as you and just tell people they are wrong, I would be right quite often!
But here is what little I read on the subject and I quit while I still remembered I had better things to fill my head with....

I merely copied what was already researched by someone else. Lastly, how could I know anything about the sisters of secrecy if its a secret?
I don't care to read all about the OES but if anyone wants to learn about it they know what its called. Heres another link to do some reading if you want to.

In the first link, it says
"Masonic organizations like OES rely heavily on the use of symbols to hide the true meanings behind the doctrines they embrace. One Masonic publication admits,

Having been a Mason for many years, it galls me when people post things put a diabolical slant on an organization that has done so much good in this country, and is so steeped in its history. I won't go into detail, except to say that all of the Masonic organizations in the United States and most of the world are Christian based. Some Asian and MiddleEastern countries base theirs on their own Deity but the precepts are the same. Again I'll apologize for my answer but hope that you'll understand the reasons for it.

 

[Aarong81]

No problem! I was only hoping for a correction. The pentagram has different meanings for different people.

 

[RustyNTX]

Like the Masons, it is not a Secret Organization, but an Organization with some secrets, most of which are already known and no longer secret.

Melt it down and sell it as bullion...

Amen, Bro. Rusty.
