Cult symbolism and its meaning. What does the swastika symbol mean?

 28.03.2013 13:48

Swastika symbolism, being the oldest, is most often found in archaeological excavations. More often than other symbols, it was found in ancient mounds, on the ruins of ancient cities and settlements. In addition, swastika symbols were depicted on various details of architecture, weapons, clothing and household utensils among many peoples of the world. Swastika symbolism is found everywhere in ornamentation as a sign of Light, Sun, Love, Life. The swastika was often printed by E. Phillips and other postcard makers in the United States and Great Britain in the 1900s and 1910s, calling it the “cross of happiness”, consisting of the “four Ls”: Light (light), Love (love), Life ( life) and Luck (good luck).

The Greek name for the swastika is “gammadion” (four letters “gamma”). In the post-war Soviet legends there was a widespread belief that the swastika consists of 4 letters “G”, symbolizing the first letters of the surnames of the leaders of the Third Reich - Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, Goering (and this is taking into account that in German these surnames began with different letters - “G” and “ H").

Because “the consequences of the barbaric attitude towards the swastika turn out to be very disastrous for the modern culture of the Russian peoples. It is a known fact that during the Second World War, workers of the Kargopol Local History Museum destroyed a number of unique embroideries containing the ornamental swastika motif for fear of being accused of Hitlerite agitation. To this day, in most museums, works of art containing swastikas are not included in the main exhibition. Thus, through the fault of public and state institutions that support “swastikophobia,” a millennia-old cultural tradition is being suppressed.”

An interesting case related to this issue occurred in Germany in 2003. The Chairman of the German Falun Dafa Association (Falun Dafa is an ancient system of improving the soul and life based on improving morality) unexpectedly received a notice of criminal proceedings from the German district attorney, where he accused of displaying an "illegal" symbol on a website (the Falun logo contains the Buddha's swastika in its image).

The case turned out to be so unusual and interesting that its consideration lasted more than six months. The final verdict of the court stated that the Falun symbol is legal and acceptable in Germany, and also stated that the Falun symbol and the illegal symbol are completely different in appearance and have completely different meanings. Excerpt from the court's decision: “The Falun symbol represents peace and harmony in the mind, which is what the Falun Gong movement firmly stands for.

There are Falun Gong followers all over the world. Falun Gong is now brutally persecuted in its country of origin, China. So far, 35,000 people have been arrested, and several hundred of them have been sentenced to prison terms ranging from 2 to 12 years without any evidence being provided.” The prosecutor did not want to accept such a court verdict and filed an appeal.

After a thorough investigation of the District Court's verdict, the Court of Appeal decided to affirm the original verdict and refuse further appeals. A similar case occurred in Moldova, where a similar case had been pending since September 2008, and only on January 26, 2009, a court decision was made with a verdict that completely rejected the prosecutor’s request and recognized that the Falun Dafa Emblem has nothing to do with the Nazi swastika.

The swastika became popular in European culture in the 19th century, in the wake of the fashion of the Aryan theory. English astrologer Richard Morrison organized the Order of the Swastika in 1869. It is found on the pages of Rudyard Kipling's books. The swastika was also used by the founder of the Boy Scouts, Robert Baden-Powell. In 1915, the swastika, having been widespread in Latvian culture since ancient times, was depicted on the banners of battalions (then regiments) of Latvian riflemen Russian army. Great importance Occultists and theosophists also gave this sacred sign. According to the latter, “the swastika... is a symbol of energy in motion that creates the world, breaking holes in space, creating vortices, which are atoms that serve to create worlds.” The swastika was part of the personal emblem of H.P. Blavatsky and decorated almost all printed publications of theosophists.

Suffice it to say that in the Middle Ages the swastika was never opposed to the six-pointed star as a supposedly specific symbol of Judaism. In the miniature for Alfonso Sabaean's "Canticles of Saint Mary", a swastika and two six-pointed stars are depicted next to a Jewish moneylender. Before World War II, a swastika mosaic decorated a synagogue in Hartford (Connecticut).
“Rainbow Swastika” by Hannah Newman, a person who stands on the positions of Orthodox Judaism. In her book, she exposes the so-called “Aquarius conspiracy,” which, in her opinion, is directed against world Jewry. She believes the main enemy of Jewry is the New Age movement, behind which are the mysterious occult forces of the East. For us, its conclusions are valuable in that they confirm our ideas about war, confrontation, two forces - the force of the present era, controlled by the Old Tower, the Black Lodge, and relying on the affirmation of material reality, and the force of the “dynamis”, the New Aeon, the Green Dragon or Ray, the White Lodge, striving to overcome this reality. It is very significant that according to Hannah Newman, Russia is under the control of a conservative Jewish-Christian alliance, preventing the destructive plans of the White Lodge. This explains the wars of the 20th century against Russia, as well as its inevitable “erosion” that we can see in our time.

“The book is called “The Rainbow Swastika” (“Rainbow Swastika”), its author is Hannah Newman. The first edition of the book appeared in March 1997 - the text was posted on the website of the University of Colorado by activists of the Jewish Student Union. Two years later, it was removed from the University of Colorado website without explanation. The full English text of the 2nd edition (2001) can be downloaded from the above address.
Written from the racist perspective of Orthodox Judaism, the book is a fairly detailed analysis of the philosophy and program of the NEW AGE movement, which the author identifies with the Illuminati and the forces behind the New World Order. In her opinion, Kabbalah is a foreign body in the doctrine of Judaism, a teaching closer to Tibetan BUDDHISM, destroying Judaism from within.

The tenets of the New Age are most clearly set out in the writings of the theorists of the Theosophical Society, founded by Helena Blavatsky (Khan) in 1875. The author traces the following ideological continuity: Helena Blavatsky - Alice Bailey - Benjamin Creme. Blavatsky herself claimed that her works were merely a recording of some esoteric teaching “under the dictation of the Tibetan Masters” named Morya and Koot Hoomi. Another Tibetan Master, Djwahl Kuhl, became Alice Bailey's guru. Almost all international organizations and structures are ideologically affiliated with the New Age, starting with the UN and UNESCO and ending with such as Greenpeace, Scientology, the World Council of Churches, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Club of Rome, the Bilderbergers, the Order of Skull and Bones, etc.
The religious and philosophical basis of NA consists of Gnosticism, Kabbalah, Buddhism, the doctrine of reincarnation and racial karma, with the addition of a hodgepodge of almost all known pagan cults. The main blow of the movement is directed against monotheistic religions. Its goal is the establishment of the satanic cult of Maitreya/Lucifer, the worship of “Mother-Goddess Earth” (Mother Earth, capital “E” - hence Enron, Einstein, the recently activated Etna, etc.), reducing the planet’s population to 1 billion people and the transfer of civilization from a materialistic to a spiritual and mystical path of development. The author calls the New Age movement the “Aquarian Conspiracy,” after the title of a 1980 book by Marilyn Ferguson. The final goal is even more incredible, I will talk about it below.
The more down-to-earth and concrete guidelines of the Aquarian Conspiracy (since 1975 it has become OPEN) are the following four main goals:
Overcoming the PROBLEM OF TERRITORIAL POSSESSIONS, that is, the elimination of sovereign national state entities.
Resolving the PROBLEM OF SEX or changing the motivation of sexual relationships - their only goal should be “the production of physical bodies for the reincarnation of souls.”
Rethinking and reducing the psychological VALUE OF INDIVIDUAL LIFE to carry out a GLOBAL CLEANING on the planet, eliminating all opponents of the New Age and carrying out a WORLD INITIATION into the cult of Lucifer.
The Final Solution to the Problem of the Jews and Judaism.
There are 5 World Control Centers in establishing the NEW WORLD ORDER: London, New York, Geneva, Tokyo and Darjeeling (India). Benjamin Krem called Mikhail GORbachev one of the “disciples of Maitreya.” (Hitler was also a New Ager; there is even a whole chapter dedicated to the occult connections of the Nazis. There is nothing new in it, however.)
Inevitable, according to the author, a global collision must occur both on the material and on the spiritual-mystical level due to the intensification of the confrontation between the WHITE AND BLACK LODIES in the era of the change from the ERA OF PISCES (0-2000) to the ERA OF AQUARIUS (2000-4000). Representatives of the Black Lodge (Dark Forces) are supporters of the currently dominant concept of the material world and use the Jews as their tool for programming the consciousness of the masses in line with the dominant ILLUSION of physical reality. The White Lodge is a conductor of spirituality in the world and is under the leadership of a HIERARCHY of certain non-material ASCENDED MASTERS (Ascended Masters). Cosmology, mythology, eschatology and the NEW AGE program are detailed in the works of Blavatsky and Bailey. New Agers have their own TRINITY or LOGOS (apparently, this is the same LOGOS that was at the beginning of everything, according to the Gospel of John): Sanat Kumara (god-demiurge, creator of man), Maitreya-Christ (Messiah) and Lucifer (Satan, carrier light and reason). They form the Planetary Logos and embody the THREE MAIN COSMIC ENERGIES. Under them is built a whole Hierarchy of masters, sages and teachers of humanity.
The outbreak of the Third World War is, according to the author, a manifestation on the material level of the clash of the White and Black Lodges (in other words, the clash of Gnostic Satanists with Jewish materialists). Russia is mentioned only once in the book, in the context of a quote from Alice Bailey, who considered it a completely controlled springboard of the BLACK LIE.

Plan.
Tibetan teacher Alice Bailey (Jwal Kul - DK) confirmed the prediction voiced at one time by Helena Blavatsky that the OPEN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN will begin no earlier than the “end of the 20th century.” It must be preceded by INFILTRATION of all layers of society by “agents of change”, the widespread spread of mystical practices, including those associated with the use of drugs to introduce adherents into a “stable state of altered consciousness.” What exactly should such a perversion of consciousness consist of? In the activation of intuition and REJECTION OF LOGICAL THINKING, and ultimately in the complete REJECTION OF OWN “I”, in dissolution in the COLLECTIVE EGREGOR. First, through the widespread cultivation of collective thinking (GROUP THINKING) and universal synchronization of consciousness, the construction of ANTAHKARANA is achieved - the mystical horizontal BRIDGE OF THE RAINBOW (“The Rainbow Bridge”). Upon completion of the construction of the horizontal BRIDGE, when the ALL-PLANETARY CONSCIOUSNESS is finally created, an attempt must be made to establish spiritual contact with the non-material representatives of the HIERARCHY (White Lodge), i.e., the construction of the VERTICAL ANTAHKARANA. The successful establishment of such contact by HUMANITY will be a prerequisite for its entry into a fundamentally new stage of development. According to one of the main ideologists of NEW AGE, candidate for US Vice President from the Democratic Party (1984) BARBARA MARX HUBBARD, the construction of the VERTICAL RAINBOW BRIDGE will be an irreversible change in the history of our civilization. According to other sources, the BRIDGE can only be established for a short period of time and will inevitably fall apart again.
Thus, the current process of GLOBALIZATION is nothing more than an attempt to build a mystical planetary RAINBOW BRIDGE to establish contact with the higher spiritual substances surrounding us. Karl Marx is resting!
All three substances of the LOGOS must sequentially materialize on Earth for the purpose of REACTIVATION OF THE PLAN: first Lucifer, then Maitreya and finally Sanat Kumara. Especially for the Jews, a scenario has already been developed for THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH, which will have to finally dismantle JUDAISM and, possibly, organize the HOLOCAUST - a large-scale liquidation of the Jews as carriers of vicious racial karma.
The author gives numerous examples of the total infiltration of even Orthodox Jewish circles by New Agers. The scale of the AQUARIUS CONSPIRACY is staggering; many “non-religious Jews” take an active part in it, so that some researchers consider the NEW AGE movement to be one of the creations of Judaism. However, Hannah Newman is convinced that it is JUDAISM (together with Christianity and Islam) that will become its main victim. The main allies of Orthodox Jews in the fight against the Conspiracy are, in her opinion, Christian Evangelists, due to their ideological closeness to the Jews and the BIBLICAL FANATISM shared by both groups. "

“Ur-Ki” is the name of the oldest capital of the world; capitals of Russian, Jewish, Ukrainian, German, French, Italian, English, Swedish, Danish, Russian, Armenian, Georgian, Azerbaijani, Iranian, Iraqi, Indian, Chinese, Tibetan, Egyptian, Libyan, Spanish, American and almost all other peoples of the world .

“Ur-Ki” is the ancient name of Kyiv, which at first was located just down the Dnieper (in the Cherkassy region, where the ruins of the largest and most ancient city in the world were recently found), and now it is the capital of Ukraine, the sacred city of the first ancestors - Kyiv .
The name of the ancient capital of the world “Ur-Ki” consists of ancient Russian words - the word “Ur” and the word “Ki”. “Ur” is the name of the ancient Russian God the Son, his parents and creators of all things are considered to be God the Father (Almighty) and the Mother Goddess (Agni), who in the first element of fire (Sva) gave birth from the Unmanifested world of images to the Manifested world - that is, who gave birth God the Son of Ur, who is the entire visible Universe. The sacred texts of the Russian Religion say that Ur in its evolution reached the highest form - man. Man is Ur, that is, in form and content, man is the entire known and unknown Universe. Man is the entire immortal Universe and he is outside of time and space, he is infinite and eternal. Ur and Man are Light, One and Eternal. And as it is written in the Kyiv Rig Veda: “We came from the Light and will go into the Light...” This means that the ancient Rus believed that man would continue his evolution and “radiant humanity” would arise, where man would finally develop into the God-man Ur and in form will represent itself as thinking intelligent matter in the form of an immortal shining Light, capable of creating any form.

I have to stop there. Old Russian interpretation of the word “Ur” by what was briefly reported above. I will add that in ancient times (and in the East to this day, which not everyone knows) our self-name was “Urus” or often even simpler “Ury”. Hence the words: “culture” (cult of Ur); “ancestors” (ancestors); Ural (Ural); Uristan (stan of Ur) and thousands of other words in almost all languages ​​of the world. The most ancient symbols of Ur have survived to this day: the battle cry of Russian warriors “Hurray!” and a rotating fiery swastika, elements of which are depicted in the surviving temples of Sophia - the Holy Old Russian Wisdom (in Kyiv, Novgorod, Baghdad, Jerusalem and thousands of other Russian cities on all continents of the world).

The word "Ki" in Old Russian means "land = territory", so the name of ancient Kyiv - "Ur-Ki" in modern Russian means "Divine Land of the First Ancestors". Thus, the origin modern word“Kyiv”, not at all from the legendary Prince Kiy, as the enemies of the Russian people deceive, and therefore until the Middle Ages (when the entire world history was falsified in favor of our enemies with the destruction of everything ancient Russian and the fabrication of false ancient “books”, “monuments” and etc.) in all ancient books in all languages, Kyiv was most often called “Mother City”. The expressions “Mother Earth” and “Kyiv Mother” have still survived to this day, contrary to the wishes of our enemies. And the expression: “Kyiv is the Mother of Russian cities!” every schoolchild in the world knows. I draw your attention to “Mother of Russian cities!” Otherwise, the enemies of the Russian people have falsified historical science so much that even those of them who consider themselves “historians” write books about the mysterious “ancestral homeland of the Aryans”, the mysterious “Indo-European proto-civilization”, “northern Hyperborea”, the incomprehensible “Tripoli culture”, unknown where did “Great Mongolia” come from (Great Tartaria = Great Mogolia = Great Russia, etc.) and in all these “scientific works” there is no Kyiv, which means there is no MOTHER and no GOD.

As a result of Russian military campaigns in Europe, China, India, Mesopotamia, Palestine, Egypt, etc., our ancient culture had a significant influence on these peoples. In the art of many nations, the ancient Russian “animal style”, “cosmogonic cross”, “magic swastika”, the image of the “secret wheel of history”, horse heads in “vortex cosmic movement” appeared; image of a sword; an image of a horseman piercing a dragon with a spear, where the dragon symbolizes world evil; image of the “Mother Goddess”, where Agni was meant - “goddess of the Fiery Cosmos”; an image of a deer, symbolizing the spiritual beauty of nature, etc. It is not for nothing that modern archaeological scientists find an image of a Russian Ruthenian deer and Russian iron swords all over the world - from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic and from Egypt and India to the Arctic.

Since ancient times, swastika symbolism has been the main and dominant symbol among almost all peoples on the territory of Eurasia: Slavs, Germans, Mari, Pomors, Skalvi, Curonians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Mordovians, Udmurts, Bashkirs, Chuvash, Indians, Icelanders, Scots and many others.

In many ancient Beliefs and religions, the Swastika is the most important and brightest cult symbol. Thus, in ancient Indian philosophy and Buddhism, the Swastika is a symbol of the eternal cycle of the universe, a symbol of the Buddha’s Law, to which all things are subject. (Dictionary “Buddhism”, M., “Republic”, 1992); in Tibetan Lamaism - a protective symbol, a symbol of happiness and a talisman.
In India and Tibet, the Swastika is depicted everywhere: on the walls and gates of temples, on residential buildings, as well as on the fabrics in which all sacred texts and tablets are wrapped. Very often, sacred texts from the Book of the Dead, which are written on funeral covers, are framed with swastika ornaments before cremation.

The swastika, what ancient figurative meaning it carries, what it has meant for many millennia and means now for the Slavs and Aryans and the many peoples inhabiting our Earth. In these means, alien to the Slavs mass media The swastika is called either a German cross or a fascist sign and reduces its image and meaning only to Adolf Hitler, Germany 1933-45, to fascism (National Socialism) and the Second World War. Modern "journalists", "is-Toriki" and guardians " universal human values“It’s as if they forgot that the Swastika is the oldest Russian symbol, that in past times, representatives of the highest authorities, in order to enlist the support of the people, always made the Swastika a state symbol and placed its image on money.

Nowadays, few people know that the matrices of the 250 ruble banknote, with the image of the Swastika symbol - Kolovrat against the background of a double-headed eagle, were made according to a special order and sketches of the last Russian Tsar Nicholas II. The Provisional Government used these matrices to issue banknotes in denominations of 250, and later 1000 rubles. Beginning in 1918, the Bolsheviks introduced new banknotes in denominations of 5,000 and 10,000 rubles, which depicted three Swastika-Kolovrat: two smaller Kolovrat in the side ligatures are intertwined with large numbers 5,000, 10,000, and a large Kolovrat is placed in the middle. But, unlike the 1000 rubles of the Provisional Government, which had the State Duma depicted on the reverse side, the Bolsheviks placed a double-headed eagle on banknotes. Money with the Swastika-Kolovrat was printed by the Bolsheviks and was in use until 1923, and only after the appearance of USSR banknotes were they taken out of circulation.

The authorities of Soviet Russia, in order to gain support in Siberia, created sleeve patches in 1918 for the soldiers of the Red Army of the South-Eastern Front, they depicted a Swastika with the abbreviation R.S.F.S.R. inside. But the Russian Government of A.V. Kolchak did the same, calling under the banner of the Siberian Volunteer Corps; Russian emigrants in Harbin and Paris, and then the National Socialists in Germany.

Created in 1921 according to the sketches of Adolf Hitler, the party symbols and flag of the NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers' Party) subsequently became the state symbols of Germany (1933-1945). In Mein Kampf, Hitler describes in detail how this symbol was chosen. He personally determined the final form of the swastika and developed a version of the banner, which became the model for all subsequent party flags. Hitler believed that the new flag should have the same effectiveness as a political poster. The Fuhrer also writes about colors for the party flag, which were considered, but were rejected. White “was not a color that captivates the masses,” but was most suitable “for virtuous old maids and for all kinds of Lenten unions.” Black was also rejected as it was far from eye-catching. The combination of blue and white was excluded because they were the official colors of Bavaria. The white and black combination was also unacceptable. There was no question of a black-red-gold banner, since it was used by the Weimar Republic. Black, white and red were inappropriate in their old combination due to the fact that they "represented the old Reich, which died as a result of its own weaknesses and mistakes." Nevertheless, Hitler chose these three colors because, in his opinion, they were better than all the others (“this is the most powerful accord of colors that is possible”). Not any swastika fits the definition of “Nazi” symbols, but only a four-pointed one, standing on an edge at 45°, with the ends directed to the right. This very sign was on the state banner of National Socialist Germany from 1933 to 1945, as well as on the emblems of civil and military services. Few people now know that in Germany the National Socialists did not use the Swastika, but a symbol similar to it in design - Hakenkreuz, which has a completely different figurative meaning - changing the world around us and a person’s worldview.

By the way, in the minds of the soldiers who saw crosses on Wehrmacht tanks during World War II, it was these Wehrmacht crosses that were fascist crosses and Nazi symbols.

For many millennia, different designs of swastika symbols had a powerful influence on people’s way of life, on their psyche (Soul) and subconscious, uniting representatives of various tribes for some bright purpose; gave a powerful surge of light divine forces, revealing the internal reserves in people for comprehensive creation for the benefit of their Clans, in the name of justice, prosperity and well-being of their Fatherland.

At first, only the clergy of various Tribal cults, creeds and religions used this, then representatives of the highest state authorities began to use swastika symbols - princes, kings, etc., and after them all kinds of occultists and political figures turned to the Swastika.

After the Bolsheviks completely captured all levels of power, the need for support of the Soviet regime by the Russian people disappeared, because it would be easier to confiscate the values ​​​​created by the same Russian people. Therefore, in 1923, the Bolsheviks abandoned the Swastika, leaving only the five-pointed star, Hammer and Sickle as state symbols.

In February 1925, the Kuna Indians expelled the Panamanian gendarmes from their territory, announcing the creation of the independent Republic of Tula, on the banner of which was. "Tula" is translated as "people", the self-name of the tribe, and the swastika is their ancient symbol. In 1942, the flag was slightly changed so as not to evoke associations with Germany: a “nose ring” was put on the swastika, “because everyone knows that Germans do not wear nose rings.” Subsequently, the Kuna-Tula swastika returned to its original version and is still a symbol of the independence of the republic.

Until 1933 (the year the Nazis came to power), the swastika was used as a personal coat of arms by the writer Rudyard Kipling. For him, she embodied Strength, Beauty, Originality and Illumination. Thanks to Paul Klee, the swastika became the emblem of the avant-garde artistic and architectural association Bauhaus.

In 1995, an incident occurred in Glendale, California, when a small group of anti-fascist fanatics attempted to force city officials to replace 930 (!) light poles installed between 1924 and 1926. Reason: the cast iron pedestals are surrounded by an ornament of 17 swastikas. The local Historical Society had to prove with documents in hand that the poles purchased at one time from the Union Metal Company of Canton (Ohio) had nothing to do with the Nazis, and therefore could not offend anyone’s feelings. The swastika design was based on both classical art, and on the local traditions of the Navajo Indians, for whom the swastika has long served as an auspicious sign. In addition to Glendale, similar poles were installed in other places in the county in the 1920s.
The main symbol of fascism is certainly the fascia (from the Latin fascis, a bunch), which Benito Mussolini borrowed from Ancient Rome. The fasces were rods tied with a leather belt, with a lictor's hatchet inserted inside. Such bundles were carried by lictors (servants under the highest magistrates and some priests) in front of those accompanied by them. government official. The rods symbolized the right of punishment, the ax of execution. Inside Rome, the ax was removed, since here the people were the highest authority for death sentences. When Mussolini founded his Italian Nationalist Movement in March 1919, his banner was the tricolor with the lictor's hatchet, symbolizing the unity of war veterans. The organization was called “Fashi di Combattimento” and served as the basis for the creation of the fascist party in 1922. It should be remembered that fasces are a common decorative element of the classicism style, in which many buildings were built XVIII beginning XIX centuries (including in St. Petersburg and Moscow), therefore their use in the context of this style is not “fascist”. In addition, fasces with hatchets and a Phrygian cap became a symbol of the Great french revolution 1789.
The number of Nazi symbols can include specific emblems of the SS, Gestapo and other organizations operating under the auspices of the Third Reich. But the elements that make up these emblems (runes, oak leaves, wreaths, etc.) should not be prohibited in themselves.

A sad case of “swastikophobia” is the regular (since 1995) cutting down of larch trees in the public sector forest near Zernikov (60 miles north of Berlin). Planted in 1938 by a local businessman, each fall the larches formed a yellow swastika of needles among the evergreen pines. The swastika of 57 larches with an area of ​​360 m^2 could only be seen from the air. After the reunification of Germany, the question of felling arose in 1992, and the first trees were destroyed in 1995. By 2000, 25 of the 57 larches had been cut down, according to the Associated Press and Reuters, but authorities and the public are concerned that the symbol may still be visible. This is indeed a serious matter: young shoots are creeping out from the remaining roots. The pity here is caused, first of all, by people whose hatred has reached the brink of psychosis.

The Sanskrit exclamation “svasti!” translated, in particular, as “good!” to this day it sounds in the rituals of Hinduism, framing the pronunciation of the sacred syllable AUM (“AUM Tackle!”). Analyzing the word “swastika”, Gustav Dumoutier divided it into three syllables: su-auti-ka. ou root meaning "good", "good", superlative or suridas, "prosperity". Auti is the third person singular form of indicative mood present tense from the verb as “to be” (Latin sum). Ka is a substantive suffix.
The Sanskrit name suastika, wrote Max Müller to Heinrich Schliemann, is close to the Greek “perhaps”, “possible”, “allowed”. There is an Anglo-Saxon name for the swastika sign, Fylfot, which R.F. Greg derived from fower fot, four-footed, i.e. "four-" or "many-legged". The word Fylfot itself is of Scandinavian origin and consists of Old Norse fiel, the equivalent of Anglo-Saxon fela, German viel (“many”) and fotr, foot (“foot”), i.e. "multipede" figure. However, in the scientific literature, both Fylfot and the above-mentioned “tetraskelis” with a gammatic cross, and the “hammer of Thor” (Mjollnir), erroneously identified with the swastika, were gradually replaced by the Sanskrit name.

According to M. Muller, the right-handed gamma cross (suastika) is a sign of light, life, holiness and prosperity, which corresponds in nature to the spring, waxing sun. The left-handed sign, suavastika, on the contrary, expresses darkness, doom, evil and destruction; it corresponds to the waning, autumn luminary. We find a similar line of reasoning in the Indologist Charles Beardwood. Suastika - daytime sun, active state, day, summer, light, life and glory; this set of concepts is expressed by the Sanskrit pradakshina, manifested through the masculine principle, protected by the god Ganesha. Suavastika is also the sun, but underground or nocturnal, passive, winter, darkness, death and obscurity; it corresponds to the Sanskrit prasavya, the feminine principle and the goddess Kali. In the annual solar cycle, the left-sided swastika is a symbol of the summer solstice, from which daylight begins to decrease, and the right-sided winter solstice, from which the day gains strength. The main traditions of humanity (Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, etc.) contain both right- and left-sided swastikas, which are assessed not on a “good-evil” scale, but as two sides of a single process. Thus, “destruction” is not “evil” in the dualistic sense for Eastern metaphysics, but only the other side of creation, etc.

In ancient times, when our Ancestors used the ‘Aryan Runes, the word Swastika was translated as Who Came from Heaven. Since Rune - SVA meant Heaven (hence Svarog - Heavenly God), - C - Rune of direction; Runes - TIKA - movement, coming, flow, running. Our children and grandchildren still pronounce the word tick, i.e. run. In addition, the figurative form - TIKA is still found in everyday words Arctic, Antarctic, mysticism, homiletics, politics, etc.

I’m closer to the traditional version of the Aryan decoding of the word.

Su asti ka: su asti is a greeting, a wish for good luck, prosperity, ka is a prefix denoting a particularly emotional attitude.

One Russian tourist, having visited Southeast Asia, reported in social networks about your impressions. In Bangkok, he saw a man who had a large swastika on the front and back of his T-shirt.

The tourist's blood rushed to his head. He wanted to immediately explain to the stupid native what kind of disgusting thing he was wearing. But, having cooled down a little, the Russian decided to refrain from communicating: maybe the local resident simply doesn’t know anything about “German fascism”? Nevertheless, the shock from what he saw was so great that, upon returning home, he turned to the forum visitors with the question: “What to do in such a situation?”

Swastikas past and present

Indeed, most Asians do not know who Hitler is. Some may have heard of World War II. But even the most educated people are unlikely to be able to say exactly who fought with whom and why. But in India, almost everyone knows well that the swastika is a symbol of prosperity, the sun, a sign of favorable destinies. Not a single wedding in India, Nepal, South Korea cannot do without this symbol.

The swastika appeared in ancient times and was widespread throughout Eurasia. It is an integral part of Buddhism, with which it came to China, Siam and Japan. This symbol is also used by other religions. IN late XIX- at the beginning of the 20th century, due to the fascination with the culture of the East, the swastika became very popular in Europe.

In the summer of 1917, the Russian Provisional Government even placed a large swastika on the 250-ruble bill, against the backdrop of a double-headed eagle. Some white units placed the swastika on their shoulder straps. The Bolsheviks also did not escape the general trend and used the swastika as a revolutionary symbol.

The seal of the Moscow Provincial Council of Workers' and Peasants' Deputies of 1919 in the form of a swastika looks especially impressive today. The red sleeve patch of the Red Army soldiers of the South-Eastern Front with a star and swastika is also impressive. In the end, People's Commissar Lunacharsky harshly stopped this “disgrace” in 1922.

Currently, Europeans perceive the swastika only as a symbol of Nazism (the National Socialist Party of Germany) with all its horrors. Today it is difficult to imagine that our distant and not so distant ancestors found something attractive in this symbol, it seems so sinister to us.

The denial of the swastika is firmly ingrained in the consciousness of most European peoples. But humanity consists not only of Europeans, and this has to be taken into account, especially when traveling abroad. As they say, you don’t go to someone else’s monastery with your own rules.

Fascia among the Nazis

The symbol of fascism, the fascia, unlike the swastika, is not a sign that causes irritation in the post-Soviet space. And in Europe they treat him very tolerantly. One of the reasons, apparently, lies in the fact that the fascists did not cause as much trouble as the Nazis. At the very least, they were “only” going to conquer other peoples, but not destroy them.

Fasces on the facade of the Central Station, Milan.

Here it is necessary to note the different understanding of the term “fascism” in the former USSR and the rest of the world. On the initiative of I. Stalin, the Comintern (an international association of communist parties under the control of the Soviet leadership) proposed calling the National Socialists “German fascists.” Fascists are members of the Italian radical party created by B. Mussolini.

The fact is that then certain difficulties arose in identifying the enemy. Hitler's party, the NSDAP, was considered both socialist and workers, had a red flag and celebrated the proletarian holiday of May 1. Explaining to not very literate people how Hitler’s socialism differed from Stalin’s was simply an impossible task. But there were no problems with the term “German fascists”. In Soviet Union.

But it did not take root in Europe, despite all the efforts of the Comintern. People there just didn't understand what we were talking about we're talking about, when instead of the usual word “Nazi” they heard the long and indigestible “German fascism”. Therefore, European communist parties, in order to be understood by their compatriots, were forced to use the generally accepted term - “Nazi”.

Fascia is a symbol of power in Ancient Rome

The term “fascism” itself comes from the word “fascia”. Fascia was a symbol of power in Ancient Rome. It was a bundle of birch twigs into which an ax was stuck. Fasces were worn by lictors - accompanying persons and at the same time guards of high-ranking officials.

Lictor with fasces

Later, in heraldry, fasces became a symbol of state and national unity, a symbol of the defense of the state. This symbol is still widely used today. Fascia is present in the symbolism of the Russian federal penitentiary services and bailiffs. It is also on the emblem of the Ukrainian Ministry of Emergency Situations. And in the coat of arms of France, the fascia is even a central element.

Mussolini used the fascia on the banner of the fascist party as a symbol of the unity of the state and the people, of all levels of society - from the rich and noble to the poorest. In general, something similar to the well-known slogan “The people and the party are united.”

Of course, one cannot call all structures, and especially states, fascist because of the presence of fasces on their banners and coats of arms. Fascia was luckier than the swastika. - She doesn’t cause such rejection. Although in Moscow from 1997 to 2002 there was a law providing for punishment for promoting fascia.

Red Star

A very popular symbol is the red star. After the October Revolution, when the question arose about the symbolism of the Red Army, they settled on a five-pointed red star. The Red Star in May 1918 was officially, by order of Trotsky, declared the emblem of the Red Army. In this order she was called “the star of Mars with a plow and a hammer.”

The god of war, Mars, in the then Soviet tradition was considered the protector of peaceful labor. After some time the plow was replaced with a sickle. The red star emblem was worn on the chest. But later they began to wear the star on hats, instead of a cockade.

The five-pointed star (pentacle, pentagram) has been known for almost 6000 years. She was a symbol of safety and protection from all kinds of adversity. The pentagram was used by different religions and peoples. But during the Inquisition, the attitude towards the pentagram in Europe changed radically, and it began to be called “the witch’s foot.” Later it was clarified that the symbol of Satan is only an inverted star - when one ray is directed downward, and two rays looking up form, as it were, horns.

And a star “standing on two legs” is quite pleasing to God. The “flaming” pentagram, with tongues of flame between the rays of the star, is one of the main symbols of the Freemasons. Already from the beginning of the 19th century, stars “climbed” onto epaulettes and shoulder straps.

The stars on the American flag were originally eight-pointed. But under the influence of local Masons they were very quickly replaced with five-pointed ones. The US military, like its Soviet counterparts, uses the pentacle to represent nationality military equipment.

"George Ribbon"

IN Lately the red star, the only symbol of the Soviet army and its victories, now has a competitor - the orange and black “St. George’s ribbon”. For all its visual attractiveness and even similarity to the St. George Ribbon, it is inappropriate to call it that. On the real St. George's ribbon there are three black and two yellow stripes, which symbolize the three deaths and two resurrections of St. George the Victorious.

From 1917 to 1992 St. George Ribbon was not used in any Soviet awards. But she was involved in the White Army and the Russian Corps, which fought on the side of Hitler. A person with such a ribbon, who fell into the hands of the NKVD or Smersh during the war, would, at best, be sent to a concentration camp. The current “St. George’s ribbon” repeats the colors of the blocks of the Order of Glory and the medal “For Victory over Germany” and has nothing to do with the life and death of St. George the Victorious.

In any case, the Russians liked the ribbon and are perceived today as a symbol of the Great Patriotic War. She is perceived the same way in Belarus. But in Ukraine the perception of this symbol is ambiguous.
People who are nostalgic for the USSR, although they claim that it is a symbol of the past war, still perceive the ribbon as a symbol of the Soviet past. Another part of the population has a very negative attitude towards the ribbon, considering it an element of “imperial” propaganda, along with other Soviet symbols.

"Secrets of the 20th century"

The swastika symbol is a cross with curved ends directed clockwise or counterclockwise. As a rule, now all Swastika symbols are called in one word - SWASTIKA, which is fundamentally wrong, because In ancient times, each Swastika symbol had its own name, Protective Power and figurative meaning.

During archaeological excavations, Swastika symbols were most often found on various details of architecture, weapons, clothing, and household utensils of many peoples of Eurasia. Swastika symbolism is found everywhere in ornamentation as sign of Light, Sun, Life. The oldest archaeological artifacts depicting the swastika date back to approximately 10-15 millennium BC. According to archaeological excavations, the richest territory in the use of the swastika, both a religious and cultural symbol, is Russia - neither Europe nor India can compare with Russia in the abundance of swastika symbols covering Russian weapons, banners, national costume, houses, everyday items and temples. Excavations of ancient mounds and settlements speak for themselves - many ancient Slavic settlements had a clear form of Swastika, oriented to the four cardinal directions. Swastika symbols denoted calendar signs back in the days of the Great Scythian Kingdom ( depicts a vessel from the Scythian Kingdom of 3-4 thousand BC.)

The swastika and Swastika symbols were the main and, one might even say, almost the only elements of the ancient pre-Slavic ornaments. But this does not mean at all that the Slavs and Aryans were bad artists. Firstly, there were a lot of varieties of images of Swastika symbols. Secondly, in ancient times, not a single pattern was applied just like that; each element of the pattern corresponded to a certain cult or protective (amulet) meaning.

But not only the Aryans and Slavs believed in the magical power of this pattern. This symbol was found on clay vessels from Samarra (the territory of modern Iraq), which date back to the 5th millennium BC. Swastika symbols in levorotatory and dextrorotatory forms are found in the pre-Aryan culture of Mohenjo-Daro (Indus River basin) and ancient China around 2000 BC. In Northeast Africa, archaeologists have found a funerary stele from the kingdom of Meroz, which existed in the 2nd-3rd centuries AD. The fresco on the stele depicts a woman entering the afterlife; a Swastika is emblazoned on the clothes of the deceased. The rotating cross adorns golden weights for scales that belonged to the inhabitants of Ashanta (Ghana), and clay utensils of the ancient Indians, beautiful carpets woven by the Persians and Celts.

Swastika in Beliefs and Religions

Swastika symbolism was a protective symbol among almost all peoples in Europe and Asia: among the Slavs, Germans, Pomors, Skalvi, Curonians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Mordovians, Udmurts, Bashkirs, Chuvash, Indians, Icelanders, Scots and many other peoples.

In many ancient Beliefs and religions, the Swastika is the most important and brightest cult symbol. Thus, in ancient Indian philosophy and Buddhism(pic. left: Buddha's Foot) The swastika is a symbol of the eternal cycle of the universe, a symbol of the Buddha's Law, to which all things are subject. (Dictionary “Buddhism”, M., “Republic”, 1992); V Tibetan Lamaism The swastika is a protective symbol, a symbol of happiness and a talisman. In India and Tibet, the Swastika is depicted everywhere: on the gates of temples, on every residential building, on the fabrics in which all sacred texts are wrapped, on funeral covers.

Lama Beru-Kinze-Rimpoche, in our time one of the greatest teachers of official Buddhism. The photograph shows the ritual of his creation of a ritual mandala, that is, pure space, in Moscow in 1993. In the foreground of the photograph is a thangka, a sacred image drawn on cloth, depicting the Divine space of the mandala. At the corners are Swastika symbols protecting the sacred Divine space.

As a religious symbol (!!!), the swastika has always been used by followers Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism in the East, Druids of Ireland, Scotland, Scandinavia, representatives Natural-religious denominations Europe and America in the West.

On the left is Ganesha, the son of God Shiva, a God from the Hindu Vedic pantheon, his face illuminated by two Swastika symbols.
On the right is a Mystic Sacred diagram taken from a Jain prayer book. In the center of the diagram, we can also see the Swastika.

In Russia, Swastika symbols and elements are found among supporters of the Ancient Tribal and Vedic cults, as well as among the Orthodox Old Believers-Ynglings, professing the Faith of the First Ancestors - Ingliism, in the Slavic and Aryan communities of the Ancestral Circle and, wherever you think, among Christians…

Swastika on the shield of Prophetic Oleg

For many, many millennia, the Slavs used the Swastika symbol. Our Ancestors depicted this symbol on weapons, banners, clothing, and on household and religious objects. Everyone knows that Prophetic Oleg nailed his shield to the gates of Constantinople (Constantinople), but few of the modern generation know what was depicted on the shield. However, descriptions of the symbolism of his shield and armor can be found in historical chronicles. Prophetic people, i.e., possessing the Gift of Spiritual Foresight and knowing the Ancient Wisdom that the Gods and Ancestors left to people, were endowed by the Priests with various symbols. One of these most notable people in history was the Slavic prince - Prophetic Oleg. In addition to being a prince and an excellent military strategist, he was also a Priest of High Initiation. The symbolism that was depicted on his clothes, weapons, armor and princely banner tells about this in all detailed images.
Fire Swastika(symbolizing the land of the Ancestors) in the center of the nine-pointed Star of England (symbol of the Faith of the First Ancestors) was surrounded by the Great Kolo (Circle of Patron Gods), which emitted eight rays of Spiritual Light (the eighth degree of Priestly initiation) to the Svarog Circle. All this symbolism spoke of enormous spiritual and physical strength, which is directed to the defense of the Motherland and the Holy Faith. When the Prophetic Oleg nailed his shield with such symbolism to the gates of Constantinople, he wanted to figuratively, clearly show the insidious and two-faced Byzantines what another Slavic prince Alexander Yaroslavovich (Nevsky) would later explain to the Teutonic knights in words: “ Whoever comes to us with a sword will die by the sword! On this stood, stands, and will stand the Russian Land!»

Swastika on money and in the Army

Under Tsar Peter I, the walls of his country residence were decorated with swastika patterns. The ceiling of the throne room in the Hermitage is also covered with these sacred symbols.

At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, among the upper classes of European states in Western and Eastern Europe, as well as in Russia, Swastika(left) has become the most common and even fashionable symbol. This was influenced by the “Secret Doctrine” of H.P. Blavatsky and her Theosophical Society; The occult-mystical teachings of Guido von List, the German knightly Order of Thule and other spiritualist circles.

The common people, both in Europe and Asia, have used Swastika ornaments in everyday life for thousands of years, and only at the beginning of this century, interest in Swastika symbols appeared among those in power.

In young Soviet Russia sleeve patches Since 1918, the soldiers of the Red Army of the South-Eastern Front were decorated with a swastika, with the abbreviation R.S.F.S.R. inside. For example: the badge for command and administrative personnel was embroidered in gold and silver, but for the Red Army soldiers it was stenciled.

After the overthrow of the autocracy in Russia, the Swastika ornament appears on new banknotes of the Provisional Government, and after the coup of October 26, 1917, on Bolshevik banknotes.

Now few people know that the matrices of the 250 ruble banknote, with the image of the Swastika symbol - Kolovrat against the background of a double-headed eagle, were made according to a special order and sketches of the last Russian Tsar - Nicholas II.

Beginning in 1918, the Bolsheviks introduced new banknotes in denominations of 1000, 5000 and 10000 rubles, on which not one Kolovrat was depicted, but three. Two smaller Kolovrat in the side ties are intertwined with large numbers 1000 and a large Kolovrat in the middle.

Money with the Swastika-Kolovrat was printed by the Bolsheviks and was in use until 1923, and only after the formation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics were they taken out of circulation.

In national: Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian costumes, on sundresses, towels and other things, Swastika symbolism was the main and, practically, the only one of the existing ancient amulets and ornaments, until the first half of the twentieth century.

Our ancestors loved to gather on the outskirts of the village one summer evening and listen to the lingering chants of dance... a swastika. There was an analogue of the symbol in Russian dance culture - the Kolovrat dance. At the festival of Perun, the Slavs drove, and still drive, round dances around two burning swastikas: “Fasha” and “Agni” laid out on the ground.

Swastika in Christianity

“Kolovrat” richly decorated churches in the Russian lands; it shone brightly on the sacred objects of the Ancient Solar Cult of the Ancestors; and also on the white robes of the Priests of the Old Faith. And even on the robes of ministers of the Christian cult in the 9th-16th centuries. Swastika symbols were depicted. They decorated the Images and Kummiras of the Gods, frescoes, walls, icons, etc.

For example, on the fresco depicting Christ Pantocrator - the Pantocrator, in the St. Sophia Cathedral of the Novgorod Kremlin, the so-called left and right Swastikas with short curved rays, and correctly “Charovrat” and “Salting” are placed directly on the chest of the Christian God, as symbols of the beginning and end of all things.

At the holy rite in the St. Sophia Cathedral of the city of Kyiv, in the oldest Christian church built on the Russian land by Yaroslav the Wise, belts are depicted in which alternate: "Swastika", "Suasti" and straight Crosses. Christian theologians in the Middle Ages commented on this painting in the following way: “Swastika” symbolizes the first coming to the World of the Son of God Jesus Christ to save people from their sins; then the straight Cross - his earthly path, ending with suffering on Golgotha; and finally, the left Swastika - “Suasti”, symbolizes the resurrection of Jesus Christ and his second coming to Earth in Power and Glory.

In Moscow, in the Kolomna Church, the Beheading of John the Baptist, on the day of Tsar Nicholas II’s abdication from the throne, was discovered in the basement of the temple icon “Our Lady of Sovereign”(fragment on the left) on the headdress of the Christian Mother of God there is a Swastika Amulet symbol - “Fache”.

Many legends and rumors were invented about this ancient icon, for example: allegedly on the personal order of I.V. Stalin, a prayer service and religious procession were held on the front line, and thanks to this, the troops of the Third Reich did not take Moscow. Totally absurd. German troops did not enter Moscow for a completely different reason. Their road to Moscow was blocked by the people's militia and divisions of Siberians, filled with Spiritual Strength and Faith in Victory, and not by severe frosts, the leading force of the party and government, or some kind of icon. The Siberians not only repulsed all enemy attacks, but also went on the offensive and won the war, because the ancient principle lives in their hearts: “Whoever comes to us with a sword will die by the sword.”

In medieval Christianity, the Swastika also symbolized Fire and Wind.- the elements that embody the Holy Spirit. If the Swastika, even in Christianity, was truly considered a divine sign, then only unreasonable people can say that the Swastika is a symbol of fascism!
* For reference: Fascism in Europe existed only in Italy and Spain. And the fascists of these states did not have Swastika symbols. The swastika was used as a party and state symbol by Hitler’s Germany, which was not fascist, as it is interpreted now, but National Socialist. For those who doubt, read the article by I.V. Stalin "Hands off Socialist Germany." This article was published in the newspapers Pravda and Izvestia in the 30s.

Swastika as a talisman

Swatika was believed to be a talisman that “attracts” good luck and happiness. In Ancient Rus' it was believed that if you draw Kolovrat on your palm, you will definitely be lucky. Even modern students draw Swastikas on their palms before exams. Swastikas were also painted on the walls of houses so that happiness would reign there, in Russia, Siberia, and India.

In the Ipatiev House, where the family of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II was shot, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna painted all the walls with this divine symbol, but the Swastika did not help the Romanovs against the atheists; this dynasty did too much evil on Russian soil.

Nowadays, philosophers, dowsers and psychics offer build city blocks in the form of Swastikas- such configurations should generate positive energy, by the way, these conclusions have already been confirmed by modern science.

Origin of the word "Swastika"

The generally accepted name of the Solar symbol - Swastika, according to one version, comes from the Sanskrit word Suasti. Su- beautiful, kind, and asti- to be, that is, “Be good!”, or in our opinion, “All the best!” According to another version, this word has Old Slavic origin, which is more probable (which is confirmed by the archives of the Old Russian Ynglistic Church of the Orthodox Old Believers-Ynglings), since it is known that the Swastika symbolism in various variations, and its name, was brought to India, Tibet, China, and Europe by the ancient Aryans and Slavs. Tibetans and Indians still claim that the Swastika, this universal symbol of prosperity and happiness, was brought to them from the high northern mountains (Himalayas) by the White Teachers.

In ancient times, when our Ancestors used the X'Aryan Runes, the word Swastika ( see left) translated as Who Came from Heaven. Since Runa NVA meant Heaven (hence Svarog - Heavenly God), WITH— Rune of direction; Rune TIKA[last two runes] - movement, coming, flow, running. Our children still pronounce the word tick, i.e. to run, and we meet it in the words Arctic, Antarctic, mysticism, etc.

Ancient Vedic sources tell us that even our galaxy has the shape of a Swastika, and our Yarila-Sun system is located in one of the arms of this Heavenly Swastika. And since we are located in the galactic sleeve, our entire galaxy, its ancient name Swastika, is perceived by us as Perun’s Way or the Milky Way.

The ancient names of Swastika symbols in Russia are mainly preserved in the everyday life of Orthodox Old Believers-Yinglings and Righteous Old Believers-schismatics. In the East, among the followers of the Vedic Faith, where the Ancient Wisdom is recorded in the Holy Scriptures in ancient languages: and Kh’Aryan. In Kh'Aryan writing they use Runes in the form of Swastika(see text on the left).

Sanskrit, more correct Samskryt(Samskrita), i.e. An independent secretive, used by modern Indians, originated from the ancient language of the Aryans and Slavs, it was created as a simplified version of the X'Aryan Karuna, for the preservation of the Ancient Vedas by the inhabitants of Dravidia (ancient India), and therefore ambiguous interpretations of the origin of the word “Swastika” are now possible, but after reading The materials presented in this article, an intelligent person, whose consciousness has not yet been completely filled with false stereotypes, will be convinced of the undoubted ancient Slavic and ancient Aryan, which is actually the same thing, origin of this word.

If in almost all foreign languages ​​various designs of the Solar Cross with curved rays are called by one word Swastika - “Swastika”, then in the Russian language there were and still exist for various variants of Swastika symbols 144 (!!!) titles, which also speaks about the country of origin of this Solar symbol. For example: Swastika, Kolovrat, Posolon, Holy Gift, Svasti, Svaor, Svaor-Solntsevrat, Agni, Fash, Mara; Inglia, Solar Cross, Solard, Vedara, Light Flyer, Fern Flower, Perunov Color, Swati, Race, Godman, Svarozhich, Yarovrat, Odolen-Grass, Rodimich, Charovrat etc. Among the Slavs, depending on the color, length, direction of the curved ends of the Solar Cross, this symbol was called differently and had different figurative and protective meanings (see).

Swastika Runes

Various variations of Swastika symbols, with no less different meanings, are found not only in cult and protective symbols, but also in the form of Runes, which, like letters in ancient times, had their own figurative meaning. So, for example, in the ancient Kh'Aryan Karuna, i.e. In the runic alphabet, there were four runes depicting the Swastika elements.

Runa Fash– had a figurative meaning: a powerful, directed, destructive Fire flow (thermonuclear fire)…
Rune Agni– had figurative meanings: the Sacred Fire of the hearth, as well as the Sacred Fire of Life located in the human body and other meanings...
Rune Mara– had a figurative meaning: the Ice Flame protecting the Peace of the Universe. The rune of transition from the World of Revealing to the World of Light Navi (Glory), incarnation in the New Life... Symbol of Winter and Sleep.
Rune England– had the figurative meaning of the Primary Fire of Creation of the Universe, from this Fire many different Universes and various forms of Life appeared...

Swastika symbols carry a huge secret meaning. They contain enormous Wisdom. Each Swastika symbol opens before us Great picture of the universe. Ancient Slavic-Aryan Wisdom says that our galaxy is shaped like a Swastika and is called SVATI, and the Yarila-Sun system, in which our Midgard-Earth makes its way, is located in one of the branches of this Heavenly Swastika.

Knowledge of Ancient Wisdom does not accept a stereotypical approach. The study of ancient symbols, Runic writings and ancient Traditions must be approached with an open heart and a pure Soul. Not for profit, but for knowledge!

Is the swastika a fascist symbol?

Swastika symbols in Russia were used not only by the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks for political purposes; much earlier than them, representatives of the Black Hundred began to use the Swastika. Now, Swastika symbols are used by Russian National Unity. A knowledgeable person never says that the Swastika is German or fascist symbol . Only foolish and ignorant people say this, because they reject what they are not able to understand and know, and also try to pass off what they want as reality. But if ignorant people reject some symbol or some information, this still does not mean that this symbol or information does not exist. Denial or distortion of the truth to please some disrupts the harmonious development of others. Even the ancient symbol of the Greatness of the Fertility of the Mother of the Raw Earth, called in ancient times - SOLARD (see above), and now used by the Russian National Unity, is considered by some incompetent people to be German-fascist symbols, a symbol that appeared many hundreds of thousands of years before the emergence of German National Socialism. At the same time, it does not even take into account the fact that SOLARD in the Russian National Unity is combined with the eight-pointed Star of Lada-Virgin Mary (image 2), where the Divine Forces (Golden Field), the Forces of the Primary Fire (red), the Heavenly Forces (blue) and the Forces of Nature (green) came together. The only difference between the original Symbol of Mother Nature and the sign that is used by the social movement “Russian National Unity” is the multicolored nature of the Original Symbol of Mother Nature and the two-colored one of the representatives of Russian National Unity.

Swastika – feather grass, hare, horse...

U ordinary people Swastika symbols had their own names. In the villages of the Ryazan province it was called “ feather grass" - the embodiment of the Wind; on Pechora " hare" - here the graphic symbol was perceived as a particle sunlight, ray, Sunny bunny; in some places the Solar Cross was called “ horse", "horse shank" (horse head), because a long time ago the horse was considered a symbol of the Sun and Wind; were called Swastika-Solarniks and “ Ognivtsy", again, in honor of Yarila the Sun. The people very correctly felt both the Fiery, Flaming Nature of the symbol (Sun) and its Spiritual essence (Wind).

The oldest master of Khokhloma painting, Stepan Pavlovich Veselov (1903-1993) from the village of Mogushino, Nizhny Novgorod region, observing traditions, painted the Swastika on wooden plates and bowls, calling it “ saffron milk cap“, the Sun, and explained: “It’s the wind that shakes and moves the blade of grass.” In the above fragments you can see Swastika symbols even on such household appliances used by Russian people as a spinning wheel and a cutting board.

In the village, to this day, on holidays, women wear elegant sundresses and shirts, and men wear blouses embroidered with swastika symbols of various shapes. They bake lush loaves and sweet cookies, decorated on top with Kolovrat, Posolon, Solstice and other swastika patterns.

Prohibition of the use of Swastikas

As mentioned earlier, before the onset of the second half of the 20th century, the main and almost the only patterns and symbols that existed in Slavic embroidery were Swastika ornaments. But the enemies of the Aryans and Slavs in the second half of the 20th century, they began to decisively eradicate this Solar symbol , and they eradicated it in the same way as they had previously eradicated: the ancient folk Slavic and Aryan; Ancient Faith and Folk Traditions; The true History, undistorted by the rulers, and the long-suffering Slavic People, bearer of the ancient Slavic-Aryan Culture.

And even now, in the government and locally, many officials are trying to ban any types of rotating Solar crosses - in many ways the same people, or their descendants, but using different pretexts: if earlier this was done under the pretext of class struggle and anti-Soviet conspiracies, then now they are opponents of everything Slavic and Aryan, called fascist symbols and Russian chauvinism.

For those who are not indifferent to ancient Culture, there are several (a very small number of pictures, due to the limitation of the volume of the article) typical patterns in Slavic embroidery; in all enlarged fragments you can see the Swastika symbols and ornaments for yourself.

The use of swastika symbols in ornaments in the Slavic lands is simply innumerable. Academician B.A. Rybakov called the Solar symbol - Kolovrat, a connecting “link between the Paleolithic, where it first appeared, and modern ethnography, which provides countless examples of swastika patterns in fabrics, embroidery and weaving.”

But after the Second World War, in which Russia, as well as all Slavic and Aryan peoples, suffered huge losses, the enemies of the Aryan and Slavic Culture began to equate fascism with the Swastika. At the same time, they completely forgot (?!) that fascism, as a political and state system in Europe, existed only in Italy and Spain, where the Swastika symbol was not used. The swastika, as a party and state symbol, was adopted only in National Socialist Germany, called the Third Reich at that time.

The Slavs used this Solar sign throughout their entire existence (according to the latest scientific data, this is at least 15 thousand years), and the President of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler, for only about 25 years. The flow of lies and fabrications regarding the Swastika has filled the cup of absurdity. "Teachers" in modern schools, lyceums and gymnasiums in Russia, teach children complete nonsense that the Swastika and any Swastika symbol are German fascist crosses, composed of four letters “G”, indicating the first letters of the leaders of Nazi Germany: Hitler, Himmler, Goering and Goebbels (sometimes it is replaced Hess). Listening to such “teachers”, one might think that Germany during the time of Adolf Hitler used exclusively the Russian alphabet, and not at all the Latin script and the German Runic. Is there at least one Russian letter “G” in the German surnames: HITLER, HIMMLER, GERING, GEBELS (HESS) - no! But the flow of lies does not stop.

Swastika patterns and elements are used by peoples, which has been confirmed by archaeological scientists over the past 5-6 thousand years. And now, out of ignorance, people who have been trained by Soviet “teachers” are wary and sometimes even aggressive towards a person wearing ancient Slavic amulets or mittens with the image of Swastika symbols, a sundress or a shirt with Swastika embroidery. It was not for nothing that ancient thinkers said: “ Human development is hampered by two evils: ignorance and ignorance." Our Ancestors were knowledgeable and in charge, and therefore used various Swastika elements and ornaments in everyday life, considering them symbols of Yarila the Sun, Life, Happiness and Prosperity.

Only narrow-minded and ignorant people can denigrate everything pure, bright and good that remains among the Slavic and Aryan peoples. Let's not be like them! Do not paint over Swastika symbols in ancient Slavic Temples and Christian churches, on the Kumirs of the Light Gods and the Images of the Many-Wise Ancestors, as well as on the oldest Christian icons of the Mother of God and Christ. Do not destroy, at the whim of the ignorant and Slav-haters, the so-called “Soviet staircase”, and the ceilings of the Hermitage, or the domes of the Moscow St. Basil’s Cathedral, just because various versions of the Swastika have been painted on them for hundreds of years.

One generation replaces another, state systems and regimes collapse, but as long as the People remember their ancient roots, honor the traditions of their Great Ancestors, preserve their Ancient culture and symbols, until that time the People are ALIVE and will LIVE!

Many legends and speculations have accumulated around this ancient symbol, so someone may be interested in reading about this ancient solar cult symbol.


In fact, I, who grew up in the USSR, had a prejudiced attitude towards the swastika as a fascist sign. But is this really so? The swastika is one of the most archaic sacred symbols, found among many peoples of the world. Swastika symbols were used to designate calendar signs back in the days of the Scythian kingdom.

Many people nowadays Swastika associated with fascism and Hitler. This has been hammered into people's heads for the last 70 years. It's time to fix the situation.
In modern schools, and even in lyceums and gymnasiums in Russia, modern children are told a rather crazy hypothesis that the Swastika is a German fascist cross made up of four letters “G”, denoting the first letters of the leaders of Nazi Germany: Hitler, Himmler, Goering and Goebbels (sometimes he is replaced by Hess). Well, variations on this theme, Germany Hitler Goebbels Himmler. At the same time, few children think about the fact that in German surnames: HITLER, HIMMLER, GERING, GEBELS (HESS), there are no Russian letters “G”. I don’t know what they pass off as truth in Western schools, but I’m more than sure that there, too, the swastika is primarily a fascist symbol.Unfortunately, the true meaning of this runic symbol has been overwritten by this stereotype over the past 70 years. At the same time, from time immemorial, the swastika was an integral part of the Slavic ornament.

Moreover, without wanting to look into the depths of centuries, you can find more intelligible examples. Not many people remember that the Swastika was depicted on Soviet money in the period from 1917 to 1923 as a legalized state symbol; not immediately noticeable, but it is a fact. She's in the center.

As you can see, Soviet power is already 18.

Have no doubt, before the stars she was no less popular.

And not only on Russian money it was. Here are the Lithuanian five litas.

They also forgot that on the sleeve patches of soldiers and officers of the Red Army in the same period there was also a Swastika in a laurel wreath, and inside the Swastika there were the letters R.S.F.S.R. And how can we remember when almost 100 years have passed since then? That is, one must not remember, but know.

There is a hypothesis that the Golden Swastika-Kolovrat was given to Adolf Hitler by Comrade I.V. Stalin himself as a party symbol in 1920. But this may have already been invented, I’m not sure.

Well, for balance, American troops of the 1930s. 45th Infantry Division.

And the famous Lafayette flying division.



There were also Finnish, Polish and Latvian swastika patches. If you are interested, you can find them all on the Internet yourself.

A thoughtful and not stupid person will always distinguish a swastika painted on the grave of a veteran from a swastika in an ethnic ornament.

The antics of neo-fascists and just bastards who paint black crosses on the tombstones of the Old Jewish Cemetery in Riga cannot in any way be attributed to ethnic rituals. And yet, with all my uncompromising attitude towards fascism and the results of the war and a rather biased attitude towards the swastika, I decided to dig up information on this topic. But since we’ve touched on the most famous interpretation of this symbol today, let’s talk about fascism itself.
The term Fascism comes from the Latin "fascio" ligament, bundle. In Russian, a similar word is fascina - a bunch of branches, twigs. Fashina symbolizes something strong, reliable, created from something weak and fragile. Remember the parable about the fingers, which are each weak on their own, but when clenched into a fist they represent strength. Or a historical example when you can easily break each arrow, but it is impossible to do this with a whole bunch.

“The Roman soldiers of Julius Caesar who conquered Egypt began to call themselves the first fascists (in many ways, their methods were quite fascist in modern understanding) In the image of the Medjays, the Romans believed that they were bringing order and law to the barbarian country. A battle ax covered with a bunch of rods and intertwined with ribbons, which was called a fascina, was considered a symbol of the emperor’s power. The symbolism is that around a strong power (axe), through small restrictions (ribbon), peoples (rods) will grow stronger." (c) But let’s return to the swastika sign, a runic solar symbol.

We will return to the symbolism of the Third Reich towards the end of the publication. In the meantime, let's look at the swastika without shudder or prejudice. Let's try to get rid of the contemptuous look at this ancient symbol of eternal rotation.

I decided to distance myself from the presentation of this topic by new Russian preachers. It is impossible to deny the fact that the ancient Slavic traditions used the solar sign of the swastika, but their approach was very intrusive. In order not to slide into the opposite direction of misconceptions, let’s look at the swastika a little more broadly.

Considering that not everyone can handle long texts, I decided to show the collected examples to rehabilitate the sign itself. Let's just pay attention to the diversity of swastikas in cultures different nations. This should be enough to understand the essence.

Let's start, perhaps, with the universe. Find the Big Dipper, and to the left of it you will see the constellation in the form of the Swastika. I don’t know if this is true, but now it is excluded from their atlases starry sky. This is what they say in the articles. I haven't checked it myself, it's not that important.


Doesn't it look like a spiral galaxy?
And here are the runic symbols of the ancestors. There are also many examples and interpretation options.

And India, where the swastika is very common.

Even in the jungle you can find a swastika.

What do you think is in the picture? This is a fragment of the robe of an Orthodox priest of the highest church rank.

Do you still believe that the swastika was invented by the fascists of Nazi Germany?

Do you recognize anyone in this picture? The Russian Emperor hurries to his car.

But you are not looking at the king, but at the hood of the car. Found it? The appearance of the swastika at the court of the last Russian Tsar is associated with the name of his wife, Alexandra Fedorovna. Perhaps here the influence of the doctor Pyotr Badmaev on the empress was manifested. Buryat by origin, Lamaist, Badmaev preached Tibetan medicine and maintained connections with Tibet. There are known images of the gammatic cross on hand-drawn postcards of the Empress.

“The left-sided swastika had a special meaning in the royal family and was used as a talisman and as a symbolic reflection of the king’s personality. Before the execution, the former empress drew a swastika on the wall of Ipatiev’s house and wrote something. The image and inscription were photographed and then destroyed. The owner of this photograph was the leader of the white movement in exile, General Alexander Kutepov. In addition, Kutepov kept the icon found on the body of the former empress. Inside the icon there was a note in which the Green Dragon society was mentioned. Strange telegrams signed “Green” were received from Sweden by Grigory Rasputin. The Greens,” akin to the Thule society, is located in Tibet. Before Hitler came to power, there lived a Tibetan lama in Berlin, nicknamed “the man with green gloves.” Hitler regularly visited him and reported to the newspapers three times, without errors, how many Nazis would be elected to the Reichstag. The initiates called the lama “the holder of the keys to the kingdom of Agharti.” In 1926, still small colonies of Tibetans and Hindus appeared in Berlin and Munich. When the Nazis gained access to the Reich's finances, they began to send large expeditions to Tibet, this vital connection was not interrupted until 1943. On the day when Soviet troops ended the battle for Berlin, among the corpses of the last defenders of Nazism, about a thousand bodies of death volunteers, people of Tibetan blood, were found. (c)

In July 1918, immediately after the execution of the royal family, the White Army troops occupied Yekaterinburg. First of all, the officers hurried to the Ipatiev House - the last refuge of the august persons. There, among other things, they saw signs familiar from the icons - crosses with curved ends. It was a left-handed, so-called collective swastika - “amulet”. As it turned out later, it was painted by Empress Alexandra Feodorovna.

It is for these signs that ignorant London reviewers of the film about the Romanovs will later dub her the “fascist Brünnhilde,” unaware of the ancient Christian Indian traditions of leaving the swastika where the attributes of any holiday are removed after its completion, so that evil does not penetrate there. The Empress consecrated the house with an “amulet”, anticipating the end of the celebration of life...(c)

The geography is expanding.
In India, the Swastika is a symbol of esoteric Buddhism. According to legend, it was imprinted on the heart of Buddha, for which it received the name “Seal of the Heart.”

Let's look into the history of the spread of the swastika.
"Together with one branch of the Indo-European tribes that moved from the southern regions of the Russian Plain in a south-easterly direction and reached through Mesopotamia and Central Asia to the Indus Valley, the swastika entered the cultures eastern peoples.
It was common on painted pottery from ancient Susiana (Mesopotamian Elam on the east coast Persian Gulf- III millennium BC) - on bowls, where it was placed in the very center of the composition. This is perhaps a typical example when the swastika was used by the most ancient non-Indo-European people. The signs were symmetrically located relative to a rectangle crossed out by an oblique cross indicating the ground.
Somewhat later, the swastika began to be used by Semitic peoples: the ancient Egyptians and Chaldeans, whose state was located on the western shore of the Persian Gulf.

If desired, you can even find a combination of a swastika and the six-pointed star of Magendovid in the ornament.

With the same wave of Indo-Europeans in the middle of the second millennium BC. The swastika penetrated into the culture of North India. There it successfully existed until our time, but acquired a mystical meaning.

In the most general interpretation, the swastika is considered by Indians to be a symbol of movement and the eternal rotation of the world - the “circle of samsara.” This symbol was supposedly imprinted on the Buddha's heart and is therefore sometimes called the "Seal of the Heart". It is placed on the chest of those initiated into the mysteries of Buddhism after their death. It is carved on every rock, temple, and wherever the founders of Buddhism left their milestones.

Later, the swastika penetrates into Tibet, then into Central Asia and China. Another century later, the swastika comes to Japan and Southeast Asia together with Buddhism, which made it its symbol."

Together with Buddhism from India, the swastika penetrated into Tibet and Japan. In Japan, the swastika symbol is called Manji. Manji can be seen on samurai flags, armor, and family crests.

Along with North America and the east of Eurasia is marked with a solar sign and a Japanese man wearing a manji-decorated helmet.

Here is the facade of a building in Kathmandu decorated with a swastika.

And here is Buddha himself.

At this point it was possible to put an end to it. For a general understanding that there is nothing bad in the swastika itself, these examples are already enough. But we'll look at a few more. The East generally preserves its history more carefully and observes traditions. Pagoda tower with golden swastika, solar sign.

Isn’t this an example of the fact that the solar Kolovrat is not just an ornament of a decorative nature, but a sacred symbol that has a deep sacred meaning. That’s why we can see it on a Buddhist mandala.

And on the sacred stupa

The Kolovrat swastika is also imprinted on the tusks of mammoths. Under the golden Kolovrat on a scarlet banner, the legendary Prince Svyatoslav marched on Constantinople and beat the Khazars. This radiant symbol was used by pagan Magi (priests) in rituals associated with the ancient Slavic Vedic Faith, and is still embroidered by Vyatka, Kostroma,
Vologda needlewomen.

In early Christianity, the swastika was known as a gambrel cross; until the end of the Middle Ages it was one of the emblems of Christ; it could often be found on Orthodox icons. As an example, there is a swastika on the headdress of the Mother of God icon called “Sovereign”. Remember the ornament on the festive robe of the Orthodox priest above? From there.

According to legend, Genghis Khan wore on his right hand a ring with the image of a swastika, into which was set a magnificent ruby ​​- the sun stone. In the oldest synagogue in Israel, a Swastika is depicted on the floor, although it is believed that the Jews are almost the only tribe that does not consider the swastika a sacred symbol.

The Swastika again became popular in European culture in the 19th century. It began to be used everywhere in ornamentation as a sign of Light, Sun, Love, Life. There has even been an interpretation that the Swastika symbol must be understood as an abbreviation of four words starting with the Latin letter “L”: Light - Light, Sun; Love - Love; Life - Life; Luck - Fate, Luck, Happiness. This is already hers modern interpretation, without signs of pagan cult.

The swastika currently appears on the Finnish presidential standard.

Created in 1921 according to the sketches of Adolf Hitler, the party symbols and flag of the NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers' Party) subsequently became the state symbols of Germany (1933-1945). It is possible that Hitler, when choosing the swastika as an emblem, was guided by the theory of the German geopolitician Karl Haushofer, who believed that the swastika was a symbol of thunder, fire and fertility among the ancient Aryan magicians.

It was Haushofer who came up with the expression: “Space as a factor of force,” which Hitler borrowed from him. In the mind of Hitler himself, the swastika symbolized the “struggle for the triumph of the Aryan race.” By this time, the Swastika was already actively used by Austrian anti-Semitic organizations.

There is one graphic sign that has an ancient history and deepest meaning, but who was very unlucky with fans, as a result of which he was discredited for many decades, if not forever. In this case we are talking about the swastika, which originated and separated from the image of the symbol of the cross in deep, deep antiquity, when it was interpreted as an exclusively solar, magical sign.

Solar symbols.

Sun Sign

The word “swastika” itself is translated from Sanskrit as “welfare”, “well-being” (the Thai greeting “Savadiya” comes from the Sanskrit “su” and “asti”). This ancient solar sign is one of the most archaic, and therefore one of the most effective, since it is imprinted in the deep memory of humanity. The swastika is an indicator of the apparent movement of the Sun around the Earth and the division of the year into 4 seasons. In addition, it includes the idea of ​​the four cardinal directions.

This sign was associated with the cult of the Sun among many peoples and was found already in the Upper Paleolithic era and even more often in the Neolithic era, primarily in Asia. Already from the 7th - 6th centuries BC. e. it is included in Buddhist symbolism, where it means the secret doctrine of the Buddha.

Even before our era, the swastika was actively used in symbolism in India and Iran and found its way to China. This sign was also used in Central America by the Mayans, where it symbolized the cycle of the Sun. Around the time of the Bronze Age, the swastika came to Europe, where it became especially popular in Scandinavia. Here it is used as one of the attributes of the supreme god Odin. Almost everywhere, in all corners of the Earth, in all cultures and traditions swastika used as a solar sign and symbol of well-being. And only when it came to Ancient Greece from Asia Minor, it was changed in such a way that its meaning also changed. By turning the swastika, which was foreign to them, counterclockwise, the Greeks turned it into a sign of evil and death (in their opinion).

Swastika in the symbolism of Russia and other countries

In the Middle Ages, the swastika was somehow forgotten and remembered closer to the beginning of the twentieth century. And not only in Germany, as one might assume. This may be surprising to some, but the swastika was used in official symbols in Russia. In April 1917, new banknotes were issued in denominations of 250 and 1000 rubles, on which there was an image of a swastika. The swastika was also present on Soviet banknotes of 5 and 10 thousand rubles, which were in use until 1922. And in some parts of the Red Army, for example, among the Kalmyk formations, the swastika was an integral part of the design of the sleeve insignia.

During the First World War, swastikas were painted on the fuselages of aircraft of the famous American Lafayette squadron. Her images were also on the P-12 Briefings, which were in service with the US Air Force from 1929 to 1941. Additionally, this symbol was featured on the insignia of the US Army's 45th Infantry Division from 1923 to 1939.

It is especially worth talking about Finland. This country is currently the only one in the world in which the swastika is present in the official symbols. It is included in the presidential standard, and is also included in the military and naval flags of the country.

According to the explanation given on the website of the Finnish Defense Forces, the swastika, as an ancient symbol of happiness of the Finno-Ugric peoples, was adopted as a symbol of the Finnish Air Force back in 1918, that is, before it began to be used as a fascist sign. And although, under the terms of the peace treaty after the end of World War II, the Finns were supposed to abandon its use, this was not done. In addition, the explanation on the website of the Finnish Defense Forces emphasizes that, unlike the Nazi one, the Finnish swastika is strictly vertical.

In modern India, the swastika is found everywhere.

Let us note that there is one country in the modern world where images of swastikas can be seen at almost every step. This is India. In it, this symbol has been used in Hinduism for more than one millennium and no government can ban it.

Fascist swastika

It is worth mentioning the common myth that the Nazis used an inverted swastika. Where he came from is completely unclear, since German swastika the most common one is in the direction of the Sun. Another thing is that they depicted it at an angle of 45 degrees, and not vertically. As for the inverted swastika, it is used in the Bon religion, which many Tibetans still follow today. Note that the use of an inverted swastika is not such a rare occurrence: its image is found in ancient Greek culture, in pre-Christian Roman mosaics, medieval coats of arms and even in the logo of Rudyard Kipling.

As for the Nazi swastika, it became the official emblem of Hitler’s fascist party in 1923, on the eve of the “Beer Hall Putsch” in Munich. Since September 1935, it has become the main state emblem of Hitler's Germany, included in its coat of arms and flag. And for ten years the swastika was directly associated with fascism, turning from a symbol of good and prosperity into a symbol of evil and inhumanity. It is not surprising that after 1945, all states, with the exception of Finland and Spain, where the swastika was in the symbolism until November 1975, refused to use this symbol as compromised by fascism.
