Inverted symbols

[Vater Araignee]

not inverted Vater. Brooks is indeed right on this, as this topic has come up in conversation with my friend, a Brahmen

And right there I am seeing two superficially related symbols. Heck they don't even have the same orientation.

Unintended side effect, I am going to translate and interpret Unsere Wahrheit (hinter unseren lügen) for my self when I can find the copy.

Come to think of it I don't even recall a swastika with dots being presented in the book. I'll see if I can google the image.

Other potentals to discuss in this thread are the pentacle and cross or any other reversed symbol.

I tried.. but I am completely failing to see what point you're trying to make.

Some googling causend me to remember a few things

This is not Hindu It is a variant of the Tibetan swastik (swastik means sacred symbol) only the Tibetan does not have the bent arms.

The Nazi swastika resembles the Jewish swastik in that it to has straight arms from the radial points but the Jewish version has three dots at the end of each arm, but the Nasties symbol most resembles the Christan swastik sans the addition of an extra swastik inside of each radial.

The Hindu swastik has the correct tilt and radial orientation and is surrounded by what we call the Star of David so It could be based of of this swastik without inversion just omission.

However I am more inclined to believe that is is based off of a simplified and inverted version of the fylfot because the fylfot is so prevalent in Celtic, Germanic and Nordic regions.

Exactly! Open source means inaccurate.

Oh the original point I was trying to drive home is when something is different that means it is not the same regardless of what people want to believe. A simple concept that most people over look.

It falls in the same line as me wearing a pentacle and then feeling it necessary to debase another persons religion because they decided to call me a satanist. I stop here before I start ranting about the closed minded bastards stuck in an archaic system of conversion.

When I flip this it means I'm in an orderly mood, but nobody can ever tell the difference.

i saw somwhere that originally the swastica (minus any dots, and turned on its side so it resembles a square) meant peace. can't remember what culture tho. i will look it up and see what i find (i saw it inscribed, along with some other ancient runes, on something for paganism.. i think it was a scrying glass mirror)

oh, and it wasn't called a "swastica"... it was called something else...
