Buddhist symbol of the sun. Cult symbolism and its meaning

A lot of legends and conjectures have accumulated around this ancient symbol, so it may be interesting for someone to read about this ancient solar cult symbol.


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

Many people are currently 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.
AT modern schools, and in the lyceums and gymnasiums of modern Russia, children are voiced by a rather delusional hypothesis that the Swastika is a German fascist cross, made up of four letters "G", denoting the first letters of leaders Nazi Germany: Hitler, Himmler, Goering and Goebbels (sometimes replaced by Hess). Well, variations on this theme, Germany Hitler Goebbels Himmler. At the same time, few of the children think about the fact that in German surnames: HITLER, HIMMLER, GERING, GEBELS (HESS), no Russian letters "G". I don’t know what they pass off as truth in Western schools, but I’m more than sure that the swastika is primarily a fascist symbol there.Unfortunately, the true meaning of this runic symbol over the past 70 years has been erased by this stereotype. At the same time, from time immemorial, the swastika has been an integral part of the Slavic ornament.

Moreover, not 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 the fact itself. She is in the center.

As you can see, Soviet power, 18 years old.

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 were the letters R.S.F.S.R. And how to remember when almost 100 years have passed since then. That is, we must not remember, but know.

There is such a hypothesis that Comrade I.V. Stalin himself presented the Golden Swastika-Kolovrat as a party symbol to Adolf Hitler in 1920. But it may already be invented, I'm not sure.

Well, for balance, American troops are 30 years old. 45th Infantry Division.

And the famous flight division Lafayette.



And there were also Finnish, Polish and Latvian stripes with a swastika. If you are interested, you can independently find them all on the Internet.

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

The antics of neo-fascists and just bastards who draw black crosses on the tombstones of the Old Jewish Cemetery in Riga cannot be attributed to ethnic rituals. And yet, with all my uncompromising attitude towards fascism and the results of the war and a fairly biased attitude towards the swastika, I decided to dig for information on this topic. But since we have touched on the most famous interpretation of this symbol today, let's talk about fascism itself.
The term Fascism comes from the Latin "fascio" bunch, bunch. In Russian, a similar word is fascina - a bunch of branches, rods. Fascine symbolizes something strong, reliable created from the weak, fragile. Remember the parable of the fingers, which are each weak in themselves, and being clenched into a fist represents strength. Or a historical example, when it is easy to break every arrow, but it is impossible to do it 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 Medzhaev, the Romans believed that they brought order and law to the barbarian country. The battle ax, overlaid with a bunch of rods and intertwined with ribbons, was considered a symbol of the emperor's power, which was called fascina. The symbolism lies in the fact that around strong power (axe), by means of small restrictions (ribbon), peoples (rods) will grow stronger. "(c) But let's return to the swastika sign, the runic solar symbol.

We will return to the symbolism of the Third Reich towards the end of the publication. In the meantime, let's consider the swastika without shudder and 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 the 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 is very obsessive. In order not to slide into the opposite direction of delusions, let's look at the swastika a little wider.

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

Let's start with the universe. Find the Big Dipper, and to the left of it you will see a constellation in the form of a Swastika. I do not know if this is true, but now it is excluded from their atlases of the starry sky. That's what the articles say. Didn't check 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 of them, and options for interpretation.

And India, where the swastika is very common.

Even among the jungle you can find a swastika.

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

Do you still believe that the Nazis invented the swastika?

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? The appearance of the swastika at the court of the last Russian tsar is associated with the name of his wife, Alexandra Feodorovna. Perhaps the influence of the doctor Pyotr Badmaev on the empress was manifested here. A Buryat by origin, a lamaist, Badmaev preached Tibetan medicine and maintained ties with Tibet. There are known images of the gamma cross on the drawn postcards of the Empress.

"The left-handed swastika had a special meaning in the royal family and was used as a talisman and as a symbolic reflection of the tsar's personality. Before the execution, the former empress drew a swastika on the wall of the Ipatiev house and wrote something. The image and the inscription were photographed and then destroyed. The owner of this photo was the leader of the white movement in exile, General Alexander Kutepov.In addition, Kutepov kept the icon found on the body former empress. Inside the icon was a note in which the Green Dragon Society was commemorated. Grigory Rasputin received strange telegrams signed by "Green" from Sweden. The Green Society, akin to the Thule Society, is located in Tibet. Before Hitler came to power, a Tibetan lama lived in Berlin, nicknamed "the man in green gloves." Hitler visited him regularly. Lama told the newspapers three times without error how many Nazis would be elected to the Reichstag. Initiates called the lama "the holder of the keys to the kingdom of Agharti." In 1926, as yet small colonies of Tibetans and Hindus appear in Berlin and Munich. When the Nazis gained access to the finances of the Reich, they began to send large expeditions to Tibet, this live connection did not stop until 1943. On the day when the Soviet troops finished 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.

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

It is for these signs that the ignorant London reviewers of the film about the Romanovs will later dub it the "fascist Brunnhilde", unaware of the ancient Christian Indian traditions - to leave the swastika where the attributes of any holiday are removed after its completion, so that evil does not penetrate here. The Empress consecrated the house with a "charm", anticipating the end of the holiday 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 the Buddha, for which it received the name "Seal of the Heart."

Let's look at the history of the spread of the swastika.
"" Together with one and the branches of the Indo-European tribes that moved from the southern regions of the Russian Plain in a southeast direction and reached through Mesopotamia and Central Asia to the Indus Valley, the swastika came into culture Eastern peoples.
It was common on the painted ware of ancient Susiana (Mesopotamian Elam on the east coast of the 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 denoting the land.
Somewhat later, the Semitic peoples began to use the swastika: the ancient Egyptians and the 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 a 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 entered the culture of North India. There she successfully existed until our time, but acquired mystical meaning.

In the most general interpretation, the swastika is considered by the Indians a symbol of movement and the eternal rotation of the world - the "cycle of samsara." This symbol was allegedly imprinted on the heart of the Buddha 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 everywhere where the founders of Buddhism left their milestones.

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

Together with Buddhism from India, the swastika entered Tibet and Japan. In Japan, the swastika symbol is called Manji. The image of the manji can be seen on the flags, armor and family crests of the samurai.

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

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

Here is the Buddha himself.

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

Is this not an example of the fact that the solar Kolovrat is not just an ornament of an ornamental nature, but a sacred symbol, having a deep sacred meaning. That is why we can see it on the Buddhist mandala.

And on the sacred stupa

Modern Nepal

Kolovrat-swastika is still imprinted on mammoth tusks. Under the golden Kolovrat, on a scarlet banner, the legendary Prince Svyatoslav went to Constantinople, 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 gamma 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, the swastika on the headdress of the Mother of God of the icon called "Reigning". Remember the ornament on the festive attire of an Orthodox priest above? From there.

According to legend, Genghis Khan wore a ring with a swastika on his right hand, into which a magnificent ruby ​​\u200b\u200bwas set - a sun stone. In the oldest synagogue in Israel, the 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.

Once again, the Swastika 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 was even an interpretation that the Swastika symbol must be understood as an abbreviation of four words starting with latin letter"L": Light - Light, Sun; Love - Love; Life - Life; Luck - Fate, Luck, Happiness. This is already its modern interpretation, without signs of a pagan cult.

Currently, the swastika is depicted on the presidential standard of Finland.

Created in 1921 according to the sketches of Adolf Hitler, party symbols and the 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 a swastika as an emblem, was guided by the theory of the German geopolitician Karl Haushofer, who believed that the swastika is a symbol of thunder, fire and fertility among the ancient Aryan magicians.

It is Haushofer who owns the expression: “Space as a force factor”, which Hitler borrowed from him. In the view of Hitler himself, the swastika symbolized "the struggle for the triumph of the Aryan race." By this time, the Austrian anti-Semitic organizations were already actively using the Swastika.

As a separate symbol, the swastika has many meanings, and in a large number of peoples they are positive. So, for the ancient tribes, it had the meaning of movement, creation, light, the Sun, good luck, happiness, life and well-being. Personifying rotational movements converted into translational ones, it symbolizes philosophical specificity.
The swastika, as one of the oldest and archaic signs, indicates the visible activity of the Sun, its rotation around the Earth, due to which the earth year is divided into four parts - climatic seasons. The symbol also characterizes the winter and summer solstice in the annual movement of the Sun. In addition to solar symbols, the swastika has the meaning of the fertility of the earth, carrying the idea of ​​the four parts of the world, centered around its axis. She also assumes two-way traffic clockwise and counter-clockwise, symbolizing respectively the male and female principles of Yin and Yang. In the writings of ancient India, a distinction is made between male and female energy, there are images of deities personified from two male and two female swastikas.
In general, despite the popular and widespread use of the swastika in art and painting, and its ancient and lasting legacy in many cultures, after Nazi Germany was associated with it, the swastika began to have negative meaning and its use was considered synonymous with emulating Nazism. Unfortunately, many other symbols, such as runes, also took on a negative connotation after the end of World War II.
History knows a large number of similar fascist movements, which appeared mainly in the period between two terrifying wars of the twentieth century, as well as a very diverse symbolism of the Nazi movement. National Emblems were used as symbols, as a sign of the unity of the nation, as well as various figures that had historical meaning. Some Nazi organizations symbolically used armed salutes.
The adoption and widespread wearing of symbols created by totalitarian fascist governments was considered one of the key aspects of Nazi propaganda.
In the understanding of Hitler himself, she accurately personified the triumph of his struggle for the superiority of the Aryan race over all the nations of the world. Such a choice combined both mystical and occult meaning, the meaning of the swastika was formed as a symbol of the Ancient Aryan race. In addition, its already established use by extreme right-wing political forces - it was used by some Austrian radical parties, it was also used during the Kapp putsch, not without the influence of the Baltic countries - served a good propaganda role. But already in the twenties, the swastika was directly associated with Nazism, and after the thirties it was perceived mainly as a Nazi symbol, the result was a complete ban on the image of the swastika in some countries, and it was also excluded from the emblems children's movement scouts.
The German Nazis borrowed showmanship, the use of rituals and saluting from the Italian fascists. Nazism differed from fascism in a pronounced racist vector, so Hitler's Germany used the swastika as a symbol of the Aryan race in order to confirm its superiority. The Third Reich used a specific version of the swastika - a hexagon inscribed in a square rotated at an angle of 45 degrees, with rays directed clockwise and bent at right angles. It was mainly depicted in black, against a white or red circle, sometimes against any other background (for example, on camouflage). Also, this swastika was located on the state German flag, as well as on the emblems of state and military organizations of the country. Swastika blue color was used by the pro-German regime in Finland, a similar sign, but in red, was used as an identification symbol of the Latvian air forces in the pre-war period. Moreover, it is known that some parts of the Red Army during the Civil War used this particular type of swastika on stripes and banners even before the adoption of the Red Star as a national symbol.

Slavic swastika, its significance for us should be the subject of special attention. Confuse fascist swastika and Slavic is possible only with complete ignorance of history and culture. A thoughtful and attentive person knows that the swastika is not originally a "brand" of Germany from the time of fascism. Today, not all people remember the true history of this sign. And all this thanks to the world tragedy of the Great Patriotic War, which thundered across the Earth under the standard of a subordinate swastika (enclosed in an inextricable circle). We need to figure out what this swastika symbol was in Slavic culture, why it is still revered, and how today we can put it into practice. Remember that the Nazi swastika is banned in Russia.

Archaeological excavations on the territory of modern Russia and in neighboring countries confirm that the swastika is a much more ancient symbol than the emergence of fascism. So, there are finds with images of a solar symbol dating back to 10,000-15,000 years before the advent of our era. Slavic culture is replete with numerous facts, confirmed by archaeologists, that our people used the swastika everywhere.

The Slavs still retained the memory of this sign, because embroidery patterns are still transmitted, as well as ready-made towels, or homespun belts and other products. In the photo - the belts of the Slavs of different regions and dating.

Looking up old photographs, drawings, you can make sure that the Russians also massively used the swastika symbol. For example, the image of swastikas in a laurel wreath on money, weapons, banners, sleeve chevrons of Red Army soldiers (1917-1923). The honor of the uniform and the solar symbol in the center of the symbolism were one.

But even today you can find both a straight and stylized swastika in the architecture preserved in Russia. For example, let's take only one city of St. Petersburg. Take a closer look at the mosaic on the floor St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg, or the Hermitage, to forging vignettes, molding on buildings along many streets and embankments of this city.

Slavic swastika - meaning and meaning

The Slavic swastika is an equilateral cross, the ends of which are equally bent in one direction (sometimes along the movement of the clock hands, sometimes against). On the bend, the ends on the four sides of the figure form a right angle (straight swastika), and sometimes - sharp or blunt (oblique swastika). They depicted a symbol with pointed and rounded bends of the ends.

Such symbols may mistakenly include a double, triple ("triskelion" with three rays, the symbol of Zervan - the god of space and time, fate and time among the Iranians), an eight-ray ("kolovrat" or "rotary") figure. These variations are incorrectly called swastikas. Our ancestors, the Slavs, perceived each symbol, albeit similar to something else, as a force that has its own separate purpose and function in Nature.

Our native ancestors gave the meaning to the swastika like this - the movement of forces and bodies in a spiral. If this is the sun, then the sign showed vortex flows in the heavenly body. If this is a Galaxy, the Universe, then movement was understood celestial bodies in a spiral within the system around a certain center. The center is, as a rule, "self-radiant" light ( White light, which has no source).

Slavic swastika in other traditions and peoples

Our ancestors of the Slavic families in ancient times, along with other peoples, revered swastika symbols not only as amulets, but also as signs of sacred significance. They helped people get in touch with the gods. So, in Georgia they still believe that the roundness of the corners in the swastika means nothing more than the infinity of movement in the entire Universe.

The Indian swastika is now inscribed not only on the temples of various Aryan gods, but is also used as a protective symbolism in household items. They draw this sign in front of the entrance to the dwelling, draw it on dishes, and use it in embroidery. Modern Indian fabrics are still produced with designs of rounded swastika symbols, similar to a blossoming flower.

Near India, in Tibet, Buddhists are no less respectful of the swastika, drawing it on Buddha statues. In this tradition, the swastika means that the cycle in the universe is endless. In many respects, even the whole law of the Buddha is complicated on the basis of this, as recorded in the dictionary "Buddhism", Moscow, ed. "Republic", 1992 Back in the days tsarist Russia, the emperor met with Buddhist lamas, finding much in common in the wisdom and philosophy of the two cultures. Today, llamas use the swastika as a protective sign that protects against evil spirits and demons.

The Slavic and Fascist swastikas differ in that the former is not included in a square, circle, or any other contour, while on the Nazi flags we observe that the figure is most often located in the center of a white circle-disk located on a red field. The Slavs never had the desire or purpose to place the sign of any God, Lord or power in a closed space.

We are talking about the so-called "subjugation" of the swastika so that it "works" for those who use it at will. It is believed that after A. Hitler drew attention to this symbol, a special witchcraft rite was performed. The motive of the ceremony was as follows - to begin to rule the whole world with the help of heavenly forces, subjugating all peoples. As far as this is true, the sources are silent, but on the other hand, many generations of people were able to see what can be done with the symbol and how to denigrate it and use it to their advantage.

Swastika in Slavic culture - where it is used

The swastika among the Slavic peoples is found in different signs, which have their own names. In total, there are 144 species of such names today. The following variations are popular among them: Kolovrat, Charovrat, Salting, Inglia, Agni, Svaor, Ognevik, Suasti, Yarovrat, Svarga, Rasich, Svyatoch and others.

In the Christian tradition, swastikas are still used, depicting various saints on Orthodox icons. An attentive person will see such signs on mosaics, paintings, icons, or attire of a priest.

Small swastikas and double swastikas depicted on the robe of Christ Pantocrator the Almighty - a Christian fresco in the St. Sophia Cathedral of the Novgorod Kremlin.

Today, swastika symbols are used by those Slavs who continue to honor the horses of their ancestors and remember their Native Gods. So, on the celebration of the day of Perun the Thunderer, round dances are held around the swastika signs laid out on the ground (or inscribed) - “Fash” or “Agni”. There are also many famous dance"Kolovrat". The magical meaning of the sign was passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, understanding Slavs today can freely wear amulets with swastika signs, use them as talismans.

The swastika in Slavic culture was perceived differently in different places in Russia. For example, on the Pechora River, the inhabitants called this sign "hare", perceiving it as a sunbeam, a ray of sunlight. But in Ryazan - "feather grass", seeing in the sign the embodiment of the elements of the wind. But the people also felt the fiery power in the sign. So, there are the names "solar wind", "flinters", "saffron milk cap" (Nizhny Novgorod region).

The concept of "swastika" was transformed into meaning- "what came from heaven." Here are concluded: "Sva" - Heaven, Svarga Heavenly, Svarog, rune "s" - direction, "tika" - running, movement, the arrival of something. Understanding the origin of the word "Suasti" ("Swasti") helps to determine the strength of the sign. "Su" - good or beautiful, "asti" - to be, to abide. In general, we can summarize the meaning of the swastika - "Be good!".

The word "swastika" in Sanskrit means the following: "swasti" (स्वस्ति) - greeting, good luck, "su" (सु) in translation means "good, good", and "asti" (अस्ति), which means "to eat, to be ".

Few people now remember that the Swastika was depicted on Soviet money in the period from 1917 to 1923, as a legalized state symbol; 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 were the letters R.S.F.S.R. There is even an opinion that the Golden Swastika-Kolovrat, as a party symbol, was presented to Adolf Hitler by Comrade I.V. Stalin in 1920. So many legends and conjectures have accumulated around this ancient symbol that we decided to tell in more detail about this oldest solar cult symbol on Earth.

The swastika symbol is a rotating cross with curved ends pointing clockwise or counterclockwise. As a rule, now all over the world all Swastika symbols are called in one word - SWASTIKA, which is fundamentally wrong, because. each Swastika symbol in ancient times had its own name, purpose, Guardian Power and Figurative meaning.

Swastika symbolism, as the most ancient, is most often found during archaeological excavations. More often than other symbols, it was found in ancient burial mounds, on the ruins of ancient cities and settlements. In addition, they were depicted on various details architecture, weapons, and household utensils from many peoples of the world. Swastika symbolism is ubiquitous in ornamentation, as a sign of Light, Sun, Love, Life. In the West, there was even 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 (see postcard below).

The oldest archaeological artifacts with the image of swastika symbols are now dated approximately 4-15 millennium BC. (below is a vessel from the Scythian Kingdom 3-4 thousand BC). According to the materials of archaeological excavations, the richest territory for the use of the swastika, both for religious and cultural purposes, is Russia and Siberia.

Neither Europe, nor India, nor Asia can compare with Russia or Siberia in the abundance of swastika symbols covering Russian weapons, banners, National costumes, household utensils, items everyday life and agricultural purposes, as well as houses and temples. Excavations of ancient burial mounds, cities and settlements speak for themselves - many ancient Slavic cities had a clear shape of the Swastika, oriented to the four cardinal points. This can be seen in the example of Vendogard and others (below is the reconstruction plan of Arkaim).

Plan-reconstruction of Arkaim L.L. Gurevich

The swastika and swastika-solar symbols were the main and, one might even say, almost the only elements of the most ancient Proto-Slavic ornaments. But this does not mean at all that the Slavs and Aryans were bad artists.

Firstly, there were a great many varieties of the image of the Swastika symbols. Secondly, in ancient times, not a single pattern was applied to any object just like that, because each element of the pattern corresponded to a certain cult or security (amulet) value, because. each symbol in the pattern had its own mystical power.

By combining various mystical forces together, white people created a favorable atmosphere around themselves and their loved ones, in which it was easiest to live and create. These were carved patterns, stucco, painting, beautiful carpets woven by industrious hands (see photo below).

Traditional Celtic carpet with swastika pattern

But not only Aryans and Slavs believed in the mystical power of swastika patterns. The same symbols were found on clay vessels from Samarra (the territory of modern Iraq), which date back to the 5th millennium BC.

Swastika symbols in left-handed and right-handed 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 burial stele of the Meroz kingdom, which existed in the 2nd-3rd centuries AD. The fresco on the stele depicts a woman entering the afterlife, and the Swastika flaunts on the clothes of the deceased.

The rotating cross also adorns the golden weights for scales that belonged to the inhabitants of Ashanta (Ghana), and the clay utensils of the ancient Indians, beautiful carpets woven by the Persians and Celts.

Man-made belts created by the Komi, Russians, Sami, Latvians, Lithuanians and other peoples are also filled with swastika symbols, and at present it is difficult even for an ethnographer to figure out which of the peoples to attribute these ornaments to. Judge for yourself.

The swastika symbolism from ancient times has been the main and dominant among almost all peoples on the territory of Eurasia: Slavs, Germans, Mari, Pomors, Skalvians, Curonians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Mordovians, Udmurts, Bashkirs, Chuvashs, Hindus, Icelanders, Scots and many others.

In many ancient Beliefs and religions, the Swastika is the most important and brightest cult symbol. So, in ancient Indian philosophy and Buddhism (below the Foot of the Buddha). The swastika is a symbol of the eternal cycle of the universe, a symbol of the Buddha Law, to which everything that exists is subject. (Dictionary "Buddhism", M., "Republic", 1992); in Tibetan Lamaism - a security symbol, a symbol of happiness and a talisman.

In India and Tibet, the Swastika is depicted everywhere: on the walls and gates of temples (see photo below), on residential buildings, as well as on fabrics in which all sacred texts and tablets are wrapped. Very often, sacred texts from the Book of the Dead are framed with swastika ornaments, which are written on burial covers before kroding (cremation).

You can observe the image of many Swastikas both on an old Japanese engraving of the 18th century (picture above), and on peerless mosaic floors in the halls of the St. Petersburg Hermitage and other places (picture below).

But you will not find any messages about this in the media, because they have no idea what the Swastika is, what ancient figurative meaning it carries, what it has meant for many millennia and now means for the Slavs and Aryans and many peoples inhabiting our Earth.

In these media, alien to the Slavs, the Swastika is called either german cross, or a fascist sign and reduce its image and meaning only to Adolf Hitler, Germany 1933-45, to fascism (National Socialism) and the Second World War.

Modern "journalists", "historians" and guardians of "universal values" seem to have forgotten that the Swastika is the Ancient Russian symbol, that in the past, representatives of the highest authorities, in order to enlist the support of the people, always made the Swastika state symbols and placed her image on the money.

So did the princes and tsars, the Provisional Government and the Bolsheviks, who later seized power from them.

Now, few people know that the matrices of a banknote in denominations of 250 rubles, with the image of the Swastika symbol - Kolovrat - against the background of a double-headed eagle, were made by 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 put into circulation new banknotes in denominations of 5,000 and 10,000 rubles, which depict three Kolovrat Swastikas: two smaller Kolovrats in side ties are intertwined with large numbers 5000, 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 the banknotes of the USSR, they were withdrawn from circulation.

Authorities Soviet Russia in order to get support in Siberia, they created in 1918 sleeve patches for the soldiers of the Red Army of the South-Eastern Front, they depicted the Swastika with the abbreviation R.S.F.S.R. inside.

But also acted: Russian Government A.V. Kolchak, 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 the flag of the NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers' Party) subsequently became the state symbols of Germany (1933-1945).

Few people now know that in Germany the National Socialists did not use the Swastika (Swastika), but a symbol similar to it - Hakenkreuz, which has a completely different figurative meaning - a change in the world around and the worldview of a person.

For many millennia, the different inscriptions of swastika symbols have had a powerful influence on the way of life of people, on their psyche (Soul) and subconsciousness, uniting representatives of various tribes for the sake of some bright goal; gave a powerful surge of light divine forces, revealing the internal reserves in people for all-round creation for the benefit of their Clans, in the name of justice, prosperity and well-being of their Fatherland.

At first, only clergymen of various Tribal cults, Religions and religions used it, then representatives of the highest state power - princes, kings, etc., began to use swastika symbols, and after them all kinds of occultists and politicians turned to the Swastika.

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

AT ancient times when our Ancestors used, the word Swastikatranslated as Coming from Heaven. Since the Rune - SVA meant Heaven (hence Svarog - Heavenly God), - C - Rune of direction; Runes - TIKA - movement, advent, flow, run. Our children and grandchildren still pronounce the word tick, i.e. run. In addition, the figurative form - TIKA and is now found in everyday words Arctic, Antarctica, mysticism, homiletics, politics, 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 in the galactic arm, our entire galaxy (its ancient name is Svasti) is perceived by us as Perunov's Way or the Milky Way.

Any person who loves to look at the night scattering of stars can see the Swastika constellation to the left of the constellation Makosh (B. Ursa) (see below). It shines in the sky, but it has been excluded from modern star charts and atlases.

As a cult and everyday solar symbol that brings happiness, luck, prosperity, joy and prosperity, the Swastika was originally used only among the white people of the Great Race, professing the Old Faith of the First Ancestors - Ynglism, druidic cults of Ireland, Scotland, Scandinavia.

The legacy of the Ancestors brought the news that for many millennia the Slavs used the Swastika symbols. They numbered 144 species: Swastika, Kolovrat, Salting, Holy Gift, Svasti, Svaor, Solstice, Agni, Fash, Mara; England, Solar Cross, Solard, Vedara, Svetolet, Fern Flower, Perunov Tsvet, Swati, Race, Bogovnik, Svarozhich, Svyatoch, Yarovrat, Odolen-Grass, Rodimich, Charovrat, etc.

It would be possible to enumerate more, but it is better to consider further briefly a few Solar Swastika symbols: their outline and figurative meaning.

Vedic symbols of the Slavic-Aryans and their meaning

Various variations of the 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. Runic alphabet, there were four Runes depicting Swastika elements:

Rune Fash - had a figurative meaning: a powerful, directed, destructive Fiery stream (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 guarding the Peace of the Universe. The rune of the transition from the World of Reveal to the World of Light Navi (Glory), incarnation in a new Life ... Symbol of Winter and Sleep.

Rune Inglia - had a figurative meaning of the Primary Fire of the Creation of the Universe, from this Fire a lot of different Universes and various forms of Life appeared ...

Swastika symbols carry a huge secret meaning. They have great wisdom. Each Swastika symbol opens before us great picture universe.

The legacy of the Ancestors says that the knowledge of Ancient Wisdom does not accept a stereotypical approach. The study of ancient symbols and ancient Traditions must be approached with open heart and pure soul.

Not for self-interest, but for knowledge!

Swastika symbols in Russia, for political purposes, were used by all and sundry: monarchists, Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, but much earlier representatives of the Black Hundred began to use their Swastika, then the Russian Fascist Party in Harbin intercepted the baton. At the end of the 20th century, the Russian National Unity organization began to use the Swastika symbolism (see below).

A knowledgeable person never says that the Swastika is a German or fascist symbol. So they say only the essence of unreasonable and ignorant people, because they reject what they are not able to understand and know, and also try to wishful thinking.

But if ignorant people reject any symbol or any information, this still does not mean that this symbol or information does not exist.

The denial or distortion of truth in favor of some violates the harmonious development of others. Even the ancient symbol of the Majesty of the Fertility of the Mother of the Raw Earth, called SOLARD in ancient times, is considered by some incompetent people to be fascist symbols. A symbol that appeared many thousands of years before the rise of National Socialism.

At the same time, it does not even take into account the fact that RNU's SOLARD is combined with the Star of the Lada-Virgin Mary, where the Divine Forces (Golden Field), the Forces of Primary Fire (red) united together, Heavenly Forces(blue) and Forces of Nature (green). The only difference between the original Symbol of Mother Nature and the sign used by the RNU is the multi-color of the Original Symbol of Mother Nature and the two-color of the Russian National Unity.

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

Elder Master Khokhloma painting Stepan Pavlovich Veseloe (1903-1993) from the village of Mogushino, Nizhny Novgorod region, following the traditions, painted the Swastika on wooden plates and bowls, calling it “ginger”, the Sun, and explained: “This is the wind of a blade of grass swaying, stirring.”

In the photo you can see swastika symbols even on a carved cutting board.

In the village, to this day, girls and women are dressed in smart clothes and shirts for the holidays, and men - blouses embroidered with swastika symbols of various shapes. Lush loaves and sweet cookies are baked, decorated on top with Kolovrat, Salting, Solstice and other Swastika patterns.

As mentioned earlier, before 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 in the second half of the 20th century, in America, Europe and the USSR, 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 Culture; ancient faith and folk traditions; the true Heritage of the Ancestors, undistorted by the rulers, and the long-suffering Slavic people, the bearer of the ancient Slavic-Aryan Culture.

And even now, the same people or their descendants are trying to ban any kind of rotating Solar Crosses, but using different pretexts: if earlier this was done under the pretext of class struggle and anti-Soviet conspiracies, now it is a fight against the manifestation of extremist activity.

For those who are not indifferent to the ancient Native Great Russian Culture, several typical patterns of Slavic embroidery of the 18th-20th centuries are given. On 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 incalculable. They are used in the Baltic States, Belarus, the Volga region, Pomorie, Perm, Siberia, the Caucasus, the Urals, Altai and the Far East and other regions.

Academician B.A. Rybakov called the Solar symbol - Kolovrat - a link between the Paleolithic, where it first appeared, and modern ethnography, which provides innumerable examples of swastika patterns in fabrics, embroidery and weaving.

But after the Second World War, in which Russia, as well as all the Slavic and Aryan peoples suffered huge losses, the enemies of the Aryan and Slavic Culture began to equate fascism and the Swastika.

The Slavs used this Solar sign throughout their existence

Streams of lies and fictions regarding the Swastika overflowed the cup of absurdity. "Russian teachers" in modern schools, lyceums and gymnasiums in Russia teach children 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 it is replaced by Hess ).

Listening to 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 German surnames: HITLER, HIMMLER, GERING, GEBELS (HESS) - no! But the flow of lies does not stop.

Swastika patterns and elements have been used by the peoples of the Earth over the past 10-15 thousand years, which is confirmed even by archaeologists.

Ancient thinkers said more than once: "Two misfortunes hinder human development: ignorance and ignorance." Our Ancestors were knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and therefore used various Swastika elements and ornaments in everyday life, considering them as symbols of the Yarila-Sun, Life, Happiness and prosperity.

In general, only one symbol was called the Swastika. This is an equilateral cross with curved short rays. Each beam has a ratio of 2:1.

Only narrow-minded and ignorant people can denigrate everything pure, bright and expensive that remains among the Slavic and Aryan peoples.

Let's not be like them! Do not paint over the Swastika symbols in the ancient Slavic Temples and Christian temples, on the Images of the Wise Ancestors.

Do not destroy, at the whim of ignoramuses and Slav-haters, the so-called "Soviet staircase", the mosaic floor and ceilings of the Hermitage or the domes of the Moscow St. Basil's Cathedral just because they have been painted for hundreds of years various versions of the Swastika.

Everyone knows that the Slavic prince Prophetic Oleg nailed his shield to the gates of Tsargrad (Constantinople), but few now know what was depicted on the shield. However, a description of the symbolism of his shield and armor can be found in historical chronicles (Figure of the Prophetic Oleg shield below).

Prophetic people, i.e., possessing the gift of Spiritual Foresight and knowing the Ancient Wisdom, which was left to people, were endowed by the Priests with various symbols. One of these most notable people was the Slavic prince - Prophetic Oleg.

In addition to being a prince and an excellent military strategist, he was also a high-level priest. The symbolism, which was depicted on his clothes, weapons, armor and the princely banner, tells about this in all the detailed images.

The Fiery Swastika (symbolizing the land of the Ancestors) in the center of the nine-pointed Star of Inglia (the symbol of the Faith of the First Ancestors) was surrounded by the Great Kolo (Circle of Patron Gods), which radiated eight rays of Spiritual Light (the eighth degree of Priestly initiation) to the Svarog Circle. All this symbolism spoke of the enormous Spiritual and physical strength, which is sent to protect the Motherland and the Holy Old Faith.

They believed in the Swastika as a talisman that "attracts" good luck and happiness. On the Ancient Russia it was believed that if you draw Kolovrat on the palm of your hand, you will definitely be lucky. Even modern students draw the Swastika on the palm of their hand before exams. The swastika was also painted on the walls of the house so that happiness reigned there, this exists in Russia, and in Siberia, and in India.

For those readers who wish to receive more information about the Swastika, we recommend Roman Vladimirovich Bagdasarov's Ethno-Religious Studies "SWASTIKA: A Sacred Symbol".

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!

Sun, love, life, luck. This is how the sign was understood in Great Britain and America. They believed that the symbol is composed of 4 letters "L". It is on them that the English words “light”, “love”, “life” and “luck” begin.

Sounds like good wishes to someone. Indeed, the term "swasti" in Sanskrit is nothing more than a greeting. Sanskrit is the language of India and, in this country, the symbol is also found. Known, for example, are sculptures of elephants whose capes on their backs are decorated with a solar sign.

It is solar because it resembles rays diverging to the side. Actually, among most peoples, the swastika was a symbol of the heavenly body, its warmth. The most ancient images of the sign belong to the Paleolithic, that is, they are about 25,000 years old.

The history of the swastika, its good name was crossed out by Hitler, using the drawing as a sign of Nazism. After the Great Patriotic War, the information that the Russians also used the symbol was withheld. The data is now open. Let's start acquaintance with the swastika signs of the Slavs.

Genus symbol

Many ethnographers consider this sign to be the first of the swastika amulets. God Rod, to whom the symbol is dedicated, is also the first. It was he, according to pagan beliefs, who created everything that exists. Our ancestors compared the great spirit with an incomprehensible cosmos.

Its particular expression is fire in the hearth. The rays radiating from the center resemble flames. The circles at their ends are considered by historians to be the embodiment of knowledge, the strength of the Slavic family. The spheres are turned inside the circle, but the rays of the sign do not close. This is evidence of the openness of the Russians and, at the same time, their reverent attitude towards their traditions.

Source

If all that exists was created by the Family, then the souls of people are born in the Source. This is the name of the Heavenly Halls. They, according to pagan beliefs, are controlled by Zhiva.

It is she who gives each person a pure and bright soul. If the born retains it, then after death he drinks the divine elixir from the cup of eternal life. Her dead also receive from the hands of the Goddess Alive. The Slavs used the graphic symbol of the source in everyday life, so as not to stray from the right path of life.

Where was it used Pictures? Swastika of the Slavs applied to the body in the form of, on the dishes in the form of ornaments. The source was embroidered on clothes and painted on the walls of houses. In order not to lose the energy connection with the Source, our ancestors dedicated songs, original mantras, to the Goddess Zhiva. We invite you to listen to one of these works. The video sequence of the clip demonstrates the motives of the creativity of the Slavs and some of the solar symbols of the people.

Fern flower

This swastika of the Slavs came into their use in the 5th-6th centuries. The symbol is a consequence of the legend. According to her, a particle of the power of the supreme God Perun is embedded in the bud.

He gave the children his brother Semargl. This is one of the defenders of the throne of the Sun, who does not have the right to leave him. However, Semargl fell in love with the Goddess of summer nights, could not stand it, and left his post. It happened on the day of the autumn equinox.

So, from September 21st, the day began to wane. But, the lovers were born Kupala and Kostroma. The uncle gave them a fern flower. It destroys the spell of evil, guards its owner.

The Slavs could not find real buds, because a plant from the mystogamous family does not bloom, but reproduces by spores. Therefore, our ancestors came up with a swastika symbol denoting the color of Perun.

Overcome the grass

Overcome the grass, unlike the fern, is a real flower. In the 21st century, it is called a water lily. Our ancestors believed that water lilies are able to overcome, defeat any disease.

Hence the name of the buds and their graphic representation. It is an allegory for the Sun. The buds of the plant are similar to it. The luminary bestows life, and the spirits of darkness catch up with the ailment. But, seeing the grass overcome, they retreat.

Our ancestors wore the sign as a wearable decoration, placed on dishes, weapons. Armor with solar symbol kept from injury.

The dishes did not allow poisons to enter the body. Overcome the grass on clothes and in the form of pendants drove away the lower spirits of evil. The image is poetic. It is not surprising that many songs are dedicated to him. We offer you to watch a video with one of these compositions.

Kolyadnik

The sign is depicted in a circle, or without it. "Rama" is a symbol of wisdom, the ability to subdue one's emotions. This is one of the abilities of God Kolyada, to whom the swastika is dedicated. He also belongs to the group of spirits of the sun, is considered the youngest of them.

No wonder the day of Kolyada coincides with the winter solstice. The zealous, young God has enough strength to resist the winter, every day winning a few minutes from the night. The spirit is depicted with a sword in his hand. But, the blade is always lowered - this is an indicator that Kolyada is inclined towards peace, not hostility, and is ready to compromise.

Kolyadnik - swastika of ancient slavs, used as a male . It gives the representatives of the stronger sex energy for creative work and helps in battles with enemies if there is no peaceful solution.

solstice

The sign is close to Kolyadnik, but only visually. Along the perimeter are not straight lines, but rounded lines. The symbol has a second name - Thunderstorm, gives strength to control the elements, to defend against them.

So that the houses would not suffer from fires, floods, winds, the Slavs applied the Solstice on the walls of their dwellings. Choosing an amulet, connoisseurs take into account the rotation of its blades.

The direction from right to left corresponds to the waning of the day after the summer solstice. The energy is stronger in Grozovik, whose blades are directed to the right. Such an image is associated with the coming day, and with it, the power of the heavenly body.

Svitovit

The sign is a union of the right-sided Solstice and Kolyadnik. Their confluence was considered a duet of heavenly fire and earthly waters. These are fundamental beginnings.

Their duet is a symbol of the harmony of the world. The connection of the earthly with the divine is a powerful concentration of power. She is able to protect from evil forces.

Therefore, Svitovit is a popular swastika of the Slavs. Tattoo with her image is one of the most popular ways to use the sign in the modern world. If you need a homemade one, you can make panels from pieces of picture frames. How to do it? Instructions, next.

Light

The sign is composed of the left-sided Solstice and Ladinets, reminiscent of Kolyadnik, but turned in the other direction. The Ladin personifies the Goddess Lada.

She helped ripen the crop and was associated with the warmth of the earth. Therefore, the Light is a duet of heavenly and earthly fire, the power of two worlds. Universal energy is able to suggest answers to questions about the universe. The sign is chosen by seeking, thinking people as their amulet.

Black Sun

it swastika of the Slavs, photo which is more than information about the sign. It was almost never used in everyday life. The image is not found on everyday artifacts.

On the other hand, the drawing is found on the sacred objects of the priests. The Slavs called them Magi. Apparently, they were entrusted with managing the Black Sun. Scientists suggest that the symbol is associated with the concept of gender. The talisman gives a connection with the ancestors, not only relatives, but all the deceased.

The sign was used not only by the Russians, but also by the magicians of Scandinavia. German tribes also lived in the latter region. Their symbolism was interpreted and used by Hitler's associate, Himmler, in his own way.

It was on his instructions that the swastika was chosen as the sign of the Third Reich. It was Himmler who insisted on drawing the Black Sun in Wewelsburg Castle, where the top of the SS gathered. How it was, will tell the following video:

Rubezhnik

What does this swastika among the Slavs? The answer is the universal border, the border between the worlds.

The sacred symbol, like the Black Sun, was available only to the Magi. They depicted Rubezhnik at the entrances to temples and temples. So the priests separated the worldly zone from the spiritual one. The sign was also associated with the transition from earthly life to the posthumous world, and was used in funerals.

Valkyrie

The word "Valkyrie" is translated as "chooser of the dead." The graphic sign is a symbol of the spirits that the Gods allowed to decide who would win the battle.

Therefore, the warriors considered the symbol to be their amulet. Taking a talisman on the battlefield, they believed that the Valkyries would be on their side. The mythical virgins were also entrusted with the duty to pick up the slain combatants and carry them to heaven.

The swastika symbol attracted the attention of the spirits, otherwise, the fallen might not have been noticed. By the way, the Valkyries were also called the chosen ones of the warriors - ordinary, earthly women. Putting on the amulet, the warriors took with them the warmth of their loved ones, felt their support.

Ratiborets

Swastikas of the Slavs and their meanings often associated with military rank. This also applies to Ratiborets. In the name of the symbol, the words "army" and "fight" are visible.

The energy of the sun, contained in the sign, is an assistant on the battlefield. Our ancestors believed that the talisman also calls for the help of the ancestors, the strength of the family. The talisman was applied to the armor. Some historians suggest that Ratiborets was also depicted on standards, tribal flags.

Doukhobor

To the question " what does the swastika mean among the slavs» The answer is clear – the energy of the sun. Many signs use approximate meanings - heat and fire.

Doukhoborg is associated with a flame, the fire that rages inside a person. From the name it follows that the talisman helps to overcome one's passions, cleanse the spirit of dark thoughts and energies. Doukhoborg is a symbol of a warrior, but not by occupation, but by character. A solar sign can be made from improvised materials. The following video shows how to do it.

Molvinets

The name of the symbol reads the word "say". The meaning of the sign is associated with it. It blocks the energies of negative phrases directed at a person.

The image serves as a shield not only for spoken words, but also for thoughts. The amulet from the evil eye was presented to the Slavs by Radogost - the God of the clan. This is what our ancestors thought. They gave clothes, with Molvinets, to children and women - the most vulnerable to the slander erected on them.

Wedding attendant

The symbol is not accidentally depicted in two. The sign was used as a talisman during marriage ceremonies. A wedding is a union of a man and a woman.

The ancient Slavs compared girls with the element of water, and guys with fire. By the distribution of colors in Svadebnik one can see the view of our ancestors on family life.

In it, the spouses are equal, as is the number of red and blue colors in the drawing. The rings that make up the swastika are a symbol of marriage. Instead of two familiar to modern man, 4 rings were used.

Two of them were dedicated to the Gods Rod and Zhiva, that is, those who gave birth to a new family, heavenly father and mother. The rings are not closed, which indicates the openness of the cell of society, its active participation in the life of the community.

Rasic

it Slavic-Aryan swastika- a symbol of the unification of the clans of a single race. In everyday terms, the amulet is used to harmonize relationships with loved ones. The image is close to the emblem of fascism. However, it has blades from left to right, not right to left. Imagine for comparison the Nazi swastika:

Do they have swastika of Slavs and fascists differences, many people are interested. The emblem of Nazism is really different from the Rasic sign.

But, our ancestors also used the right-handed swastika. Below are photos of bedspreads that Vologda craftswomen wove back in the 19th century.

Products are stored in ethnographic country. The images show both left-hand and right-hand signs of the sun. For the Russians, they were symbols of the combination of the four elements, the warmth of heaven, the uninterrupted cycle of life.

In the 21st century, the reputation of the swastika began to recover. The abundance of information about the true meaning of the symbol encourages people to use it in everyday life.

So it was before the Second World War. For example, English writer Rudyard Kipling decorated the covers of all his books with swastikas. But, in the 1940s, the prose writer ordered the removal of solar signs from the design of publications, he was afraid of associations with Nazism and the Nazi regime.
