Fascist swastika symbol. Swastika - what does it really mean

Today, many people, having heard the word "swastika", immediately imagine Adolf Hitler, concentration camps and the horrors of World War II. But, in fact, this symbol appeared before the new era and has a very rich history. It also received wide distribution in Slavic culture, where there were many of its modifications. A synonym for the word "swastika" was the concept of "solar", that is, sunny. Were there any differences in the swastika of the Slavs and the Nazis? And, if so, what were they expressed in?

First, let's recall what a swastika looks like. This is a cross, each of the four ends of which is bent at a right angle. Moreover, all corners are directed in one direction: to the right or to the left. Looking at such a sign, a feeling of its rotation is created. There are opinions that the main difference between the Slavic and fascist swastikas lies in the direction of this very rotation. For the Germans, this is right-hand traffic (clockwise), and for our ancestors it is left-hand (counterclockwise). But this is not all that distinguishes the swastika of the Aryans and Aryans.

Also important hallmark is the constancy of color and shape in the sign of the Fuhrer's army. The lines of their swastika are quite wide, absolutely straight, black. The underlying background is a white circle on a red canvas.

But what about the Slavic swastika? First, as already mentioned, there are many swastika signs that differ in shape. The basis of each symbol, of course, is a cross with right angles at the ends. But the cross may not have four ends, but six or even eight. Additional elements may appear on its lines, including smooth, rounded lines.

Secondly, the color of the swastika signs. There is also diversity here, but not so pronounced. The predominant symbol is red on a white background. The red color was not chosen by chance. After all, he was the personification of the sun among the Slavs. But there are also blue and yellow colors on some of the signs. Thirdly, the direction of movement. Earlier it was said that among the Slavs it is the opposite of fascist. However, this is not quite true. We meet both right-handed swastikas among the Slavs, and left-handed ones.

We have considered only the external distinctive attributes of the swastika of the Slavs and the swastika of the Nazis. But much more important facts are the following:

• Approximate time of sign appearance.
• The value given to it.
• Where and under what conditions was this symbol used.

Let's start with the Slavic swastika

It is difficult to name the time when it appeared among the Slavs. But, for example, among the Scythians, it was recorded in the fourth millennium BC. And since a little later the Slavs began to stand out from the Indo-European community, then, for sure, they were already used by them at that time (the third or second millennium BC). Moreover, among the Proto-Slavs they were fundamental ornaments.

Swastika signs abounded in the everyday life of the Slavs. And therefore it is impossible to attribute the same meaning to all of them. In fact, each symbol was individual and carried its own semantic load. By the way, the swastika could be either an independent sign or be part of more complex ones (moreover, most often it was located in the center). Here are the main meanings of the Slavic swastika (solar symbols):

• Sacred and Sacrificial fire.
• Ancient wisdom.
• Home.
• Unity of the Genus.
• Spiritual development, self-improvement.
• The patronage of the gods in wisdom and justice.
• In the sign of Valkykria, it is a talisman of wisdom, honor, nobility, justice.

That is, in general, we can say that the meaning of the swastika was somehow sublime, spiritually high, noble.

Archaeological excavations have given us a lot of valuable information. It turned out that in ancient times the Slavs put similar signs on their weapons, embroidered on a suit (clothes) and textile accessories (towels, towels), carved on elements of their homes, household items (dishes, spinning wheels and other wooden devices). They did all this mainly for the purpose of protection, in order to protect themselves and their home from evil forces, from grief, from fire, from the evil eye. After all, the ancient Slavs were very superstitious in this regard. And with such protection, they felt much more secure and confident. Even the mounds and settlements of the ancient Slavs could have a swastika shape. At the same time, the ends of the cross symbolized a certain direction of the world.

Nazi swastika

• Adolf Hitler himself adopted this sign as a symbol of the National Socialist movement. But, we know that he did not come up with it. In general, the swastika was used by other nationalist groups in Germany even before the emergence of the National Socialist German Workers' Party. Therefore, we take the time of appearance for the beginning of the twentieth century.

An interesting fact: the person who suggested to Hitler to take the swastika as a symbol initially presented a left-sided cross. But the Fuhrer insisted on replacing it with a right-hand one.

• The meaning of the swastika among the Nazis is diametrically opposed to that of the Slavs. According to one version, it meant the purity of German blood. Hitler himself said that the black cross itself symbolizes the struggle for the victory of the Aryan race, creative work. In general, the Fuhrer considered the swastika an ancient anti-Semitic sign. In his book, he writes that the white circle is the national idea, the red rectangle is the social idea of ​​the Nazi movement.
• And where was the fascist swastika used? First, on the legendary flag of the Third Reich. Secondly, the military had it on the belt buckles, as a patch on the sleeve. Thirdly, the swastika "decorated" official buildings, occupied territories. In general, it could be on any attributes of the Nazis, but these were the most common.

So in this way, the swastika of the Slavs and the swastika of the Nazis has tremendous differences. This is expressed not only in external features, but also in semantic ones. If among the Slavs this sign personified something good, noble, high, then among the Nazis it was a truly Nazi sign. Therefore, you should not, having heard something about the swastika, immediately think about fascism. After all, the Slavic swastika was lighter, more humane, more beautiful.

With the filing of the anti-Russian media and information, it is not known who works for many people, the Swastika is currently associated with fascism and Adolf Hitler. This opinion has been hammered into the heads of people for the last 70 years. 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 Comrade I.V. Stalin himself presented the Golden Swastika-Kolovrat as a party symbol to Adolf Hitler in 1920. So many legends and conjectures have accumulated around this ancient symbol that perhaps it is worth telling 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 About different 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, the swastika symbolism was depicted on various details architecture, weapons, clothing 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 latin letter L:
Light - Light, Sun; Love - Love; Life - Life; Luck - Fate, Luck, Happiness(see postcard below).

The oldest archaeological artifacts depicting swastika symbols now date back to approximately 4-15 millennium BC. (on the right is a vessel from the Scythian Kingdom 3-4 thousand BC). According to archaeological excavations, Russia and Siberia are the richest territories for the use of the swastika as a religious and cultural symbol. 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, household and agricultural items, as well as houses and temples. Excavations of ancient 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 on the example of Arkaim, Vendogard and others (below is the reconstruction plan of Arkaim).

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 rug 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 e. 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 into afterworld, 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.

Since ancient times, the swastika symbolism 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, Indians, 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 (fig. on the right. Buddha's foot) The swastika is a symbol of the eternal cycle of the universe, a symbol of the Buddha's 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 Books of the Dead, which are written on burial covers, before kroding (cremation).

The image of many Swastikas, you can observe how on the old Japanese engraving of the 18th century (picture above), and on the matchless mosaic floors in the halls of the St. Petersburg Hermitage (picture below).

But you will not find any reports about this in the media, because they have no idea what the Swastika is, what is the oldest figurative meaning it carries within itself 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 fascist sign and relegate its image and meaning only to Adolf Hitler, Germany 1933-45, to fascism (National Socialism) and the Second World War. Modern "journalists", "is-Torics" 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 a state symbol and placed its image on money . So did the princes and tsars, the Provisional Government (see p. 166) and the Bolsheviks, who later seized power from them (see below).

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 denomination of 250, and after 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 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 (see below). But so did: The Russian Government of A. V. Kolchak, calling under the banner of the Siberian Volunteer Corps (see top left); 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 used not a Swastika , and a symbol similar to it in outline - Hakenkreuz (lower left), which has a completely different figurative meaning - a change in the world around us and a person's worldview.

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 had 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.

In ancient times, when our Ancestors used x "Aryan Runes, the word Swastika , translated as Coming from Heaven. Since the rune SVA meant Heaven (hence Svarog - heavenly god), - FROM - 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, then our entire galaxy (its ancient name Svasti) is perceived by us as the Perunov Way or the Milky Way.
Any person who loves to look at the night scattering of stars can see the constellation to the left of the constellation Makosh (B. Ursa) swastikas (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, and many millennia later other peoples of the Earth began to revere her Sacred Image: followers of Hinduism, Bon, Jainism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity of various directions, representatives of nature-religious denominations of Europe and America. The only ones who do not recognize the symbolism as sacred are the representatives of Judaism. Some people may object: they say, in the oldest synagogue in Israel, the Swastika is depicted on the floor and no one destroys it. Indeed, the swastika symbol is present on the floor in the Israeli synagogue, but only for everyone who comes to trample it underfoot.

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.

Swastika symbols carry a huge secret meaning. They have great wisdom. Each Swastika symbol opens before us the Great picture of the universe. The legacy of the Ancestors says that the knowledge of Ancient Wisdom does not accept a stereotypical approach. The study of ancient symbols, Runic writings 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 left). 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 Greatness of the Fertility of the Mother of the Raw Earth, called in antiquity SOLARD , some incompetent people rank as fascist symbols. A symbol that appeared many thousands of years before the rise of National Socialism. At the same time, it is not even taken into account that SOLARD at the RNU is combined with the Star of the Lada-Virgin Mary (see on the left), 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 multicolor of the Original Symbol of Mother Nature (left) and the two-color one 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 incarnation of the Wind; on the 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 the horse was considered a symbol of the Sun and Wind; were called Swastikas-Solyarniks 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 village, until now, girls and women wear elegant sundresses, ponevs and shirts for 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 themselves, 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, there are several typical patterns Slavic embroidery of the XVIII-XX centuries. 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 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 complete nonsense, which 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 replaced by Hess). Listening to such "unfortunate teachers", one might think that Germany in the time of Adolf Hitler used exclusively Russian alphabet , and not at all the Latin script and the German Runic.
Is it in German surnames: HITLER, HIMMLER, GERING, GEBELS (HESS) , there is at least one Russian letter"G" - 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 have repeatedly said: "The development of man is hampered by two troubles: 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 2:1 ratio (see left).
Only narrow-minded and ignorant people can denigrate everything that is 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 Kummirs of the Light Gods and 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 on them for hundreds of years various options Swastikas.

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. Nevertheless, a description of the symbolism of his shield and armor can be found in historical chronicles. (Drawing of the shield of the Prophetic Oleg on the right).Prophetic people, i.e. possessing the gift of Spiritual Foresight and knowing the Ancient Wisdom, which the Gods and Ancestors 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 priest high level. 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 that is directed to protect the Native Land and the Holy Old Faith.

They believed in the Swastika as a talisman, "attracting" good luck and happiness. In 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.

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, swastika symbols were depicted on various details of architecture, weapons, clothing and household utensils among many peoples of the world. Swastika symbolism is ubiquitous in ornamentation as a sign of Light, Sun, Love, Life. The swastika was often printed by E. Phillips and other postcard manufacturers in the United States and Great Britain in the 1900s-1910s, calling it the "cross of happiness" consisting of "four L": Light (light), Love (love), Life ( life) and Luck (good luck).

The Greek name for the swastika is "gammadion" (four letters "gamma"). In post-war Soviet legends, it was widely believed that the swastika consists of 4 letters "G", symbolizing the first letters of the names of the leaders of the Third Reich - Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, Goering (and this is given that in German these surnames began with different letters - "G" and "H").

Because “the consequences of the barbaric attitude towards the swastika are very deplorable for modern culture Russian peoples. It is known that during the Second World War the workers of the Kargopol Museum of Local Lore destroyed a number of unique embroideries containing the ornamental motif of the swastika for fear of being accused of Nazi propaganda. Until now, in most museums, art monuments with a swastika are not included in the main exhibition. Thus, through the fault of public and state institutions that support “swastikophobia”, a multi-thousand-year 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 cultivating the soul and life based on the improvement of morality) unexpectedly received a notice of initiation of a criminal case from the German District Attorney, where he was accused of displaying an "illegal" symbol on the website (the Falun emblem contains the swastika of the Buddha system in its image).

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

There are Falun Gong followers all over the world. Now Falun Gong is being severely 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 providing any prosecution evidence.” The prosecutor did not want to accept such a verdict of the court and filed an appeal.

After a thorough investigation into the District Court's verdict, the Court of Appeal ruled to uphold the original verdict and dismiss 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 to completely reject the prosecutor's request and admit that the Falun Dafa emblem had nothing to do with the Nazi swastika.

The swastika became popular in European culture in the 19th century - on the wave of the fashion of the Aryan theory. The English astrologer Richard Morrison organized the Order of the Swastika in 1869. It is found on the pages of books by Rudyard Kipling. The swastika was also used by the founder of the Boy Scouts, Robert Baden-Powell. In 1915, the swastika, having been common in Latvian culture since ancient times, was depicted on the banners of the battalions (later regiments) of the Latvian riflemen of the Russian army. Occultists and Theosophists also attached great importance to this sacred sign. According to the latter, "the swastika ... is a symbol of energy in motion, which 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 E.P. Blavatsky and adorned almost all the Theosophists' publications.

Suffice it to say that in the Middle Ages the swastika was never opposed to the six-pointed star as supposedly a specific symbol of Judaism. In the miniature for the "Chantations of St. Mary" by Alfonso of Sabaea, a swastika and two six-pointed stars are depicted next to a Jewish usurer. Before World War II, swastika mosaics adorned the synagogue in Hartford, Connecticut.
"Rainbow Swastika" by Hannah Newman, a person standing on the positions of Orthodox Judaism. In her book, she exposes the so-called "Aquarian conspiracy" - directed, in her opinion, against world Jewry. She believes that 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 power of the present era, controlled by the Old Tower, the Black Lodge, and relying on the assertion of material reality, and the power of "dynamis", the New Aeon, the Green Dragon or Ray, the White Lodge, seeking to overcome this reality. It is very significant that according to Hannah Newman, Russia is under the control of the conservative Jewish-Christian alliance, hindering 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 observe in our time.

The book is called The Rainbow Swastika and is written by 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 Jewish Student Union activists. It was removed from the University of Colorado website two years later without explanation. The full English text of the 2nd edition (2001) can be downloaded from the address above.
Written from the racist positions of Orthodox Judaism, the book is quite detailed analysis philosophy and program of the NEW AGE movement, which the author identifies with the Illuminati and with the forces behind the New World Order. In her opinion, Kabbalah is an alien body in the doctrine of Judaism, a teaching closer to Tibetan BUDDHISM, destroying Judaism from within.

The postulates of the New Age are most clearly set forth 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 writings are just a record 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 adjacent to the New Age, starting with the UN and UNESCO and ending with such as Greenpeace, Scientology, the World Council of Churches, the Council of Foreign Relations, the Club of Rome, the Bilderbergers, the Order of the Skull and Bones, etc.
The religious and philosophical basis of NA is 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 population of the planet to 1 billion people and the transfer of civilization from the materialistic to the 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 improbable, I will talk about it below.
More mundane and specific guidelines for 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 formations.
Solving the PROBLEM of SEX or changing the motivation for sexual relationships - their only goal should be "the production of physical bodies for the reincarnation of souls."
Rethinking and lowering the psychological VALUE of INDIVIDUAL LIFE in order to carry out a GLOBAL PURGE on the planet, eliminate all opponents of the New Age and carry out a WORLDWIDE INITIATION into the cult of Lucifer.
THE FINAL SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM OF THE JEWS AND JUDAISM.
5 World Control Centers stand out when establishing a NEW WORLD ORDER: London, New York, Geneva, Tokyo and Darjeeling (Darjeeling, India). One of the "disciples of Maitreya" Benjamin Creme called Mikhail Gorbachev. (Hitler was also a New Ageer, there is even a whole chapter dedicated to the occult connections of the Nazis. There is nothing new in it, however.)
The inevitable, according to the author, world clash should occur both on the material and spiritual-mystical levels due to the aggravation of the confrontation between the WHITE AND BLACK LODGES in the era of the change of the AGE OF PISCES (0-2000) to the AGE OF AQUARIUS (2000-4000). Representatives of the Black Lodge (Black Lodge, Dark Forces) are supporters of the now 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 the conductor of spirituality in the world and is under the leadership of a HIERARCHY of some non-material ASCENDED MASTERS (Ascended Masters). Cosmology, mythology, eschatology and the NEW AGE program are detailed in the works of Blavatsky and Bailey. The 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 mind). They form the Planetary Logos and embody the THREE DOMINANT COSMIC ENERGIES. A whole Hierarchy of masters, sages and teachers of humanity is built under them.
The outbreak of the Third World War is, according to the author, a manifestation on the material level of the collision of the White and Black Lodges (in other words, the collision 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 foothold of the BLACK LODGE.

Plan.
Tibetan teacher Alice Bailey (Jwal Kul - DK) confirmed the prediction voiced at the time by Helena Blavatsky that the OPEN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN would begin no earlier than the "end of the 20th century." It must be preceded by the INFILTRATION of all sectors of society by "agents of change", the widespread dissemination 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 in? In the activation of intuition and REJECTION OF LOGICAL THINKING, and in the end - in the complete REJECTION OF OWN "I", in dissolution in the COLLECTIVE EGREGORE. In the beginning, by the widespread cultivation of collective thinking (GROUP THINKING) and the universal synchronization of consciousness, the construction of ANTAHKARANA (antahkarana) is achieved - the mystical horizontal RAINBOW BRIDGE ("The Rainbow Bridge"). Upon completion of the construction of the horizontal BRIDGE, when the ALL PLANETARY CONSCIOUSNESS is finally created, an attempt should be made to establish spiritual contact with the non-material representatives of the HIERARCHY (White Lodge), i.e., the construction of the VERTICAL ANTAHKARANA. Successful establishment of such contact by HUMANITY will be a prerequisite for its exit to a fundamentally new stage of development. According to one of the main ideologues of NEW AGE, US vice presidential candidate 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 but 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 consistently materialize on Earth in order to REACTIVATE THE PLAN: first Lucifer, then Maitreya and finally Sanat Kumara. Especially for the Jews, the scenario of the COMING OF THE MESSIAH has already been developed, 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 cites numerous examples total infiltration by the New Agers of even Orthodox Jewish circles. The scale of the AQUARIUS CONSPIRACY is staggering, with many "non-religious Jews" taking an active part in it, so that some researchers consider the NEW AGE movement to be one of the offspring of Judaism. However, Hannah Newman is convinced that JUDAISM (together with Christianity and Islam) will be its main victim. The main allies of the Orthodox Jews in the fight against the Conspiracy are, in her opinion, the Christian Evangelists, thanks to their ideological affinity to the Jews and the BIBLICAL FANATISM shared by both groups. "

"Ur-Ki", that's 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 oldest name for Kyiv, which at first was located a little lower along the Dnieper (in the Cherkassy region, where the ruins of the largest and most ancient city world), 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 Old Russian words- the words "Ur" and the words "Ki". “Ur” is the name of the ancient Russian God-Son, his parents and creators of all things are considered to be God-Father (Most High) and Goddess-Mother (Agni), in the primal element of fire (Sva) who gave birth from the Unmanifested world of images to the world Manifested - that is, gave birth God-Son of Ur, who is the entire visible universe. In the sacred texts of the Russian Religion, it is said that Ur in its evolution has reached the highest form - a man. Man is Ur, that is, in form and content, man is the entire known and unknown Universe. Man is the whole 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 Rigveda: “We came out of the Light and we will go into the Light ...” This means that the ancient Rus believed that a person will continue his evolution and a “radiant humanity” will arise, where a person will finally develop into the God-man Ur and in form will represent a thinking intelligent matter in the form of an immortal shining Light, capable of creating any form.

I am forced to stop at. Old Russian interpretation of the word "Ur" by what was briefly reported above. I will add that in ancient times (and in the East even to this day, which not everyone knows), our self-name was “Uruses” or often even simpler “urs”. Hence the words: "culture" (the cult of Ur); "ancestors" (great-urs); Ural (Ural); Uristan (stan of Ura) 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 soldiers “Hurrah!” and a rotating fiery swastika, the 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", therefore the name of ancient Kyiv - "Ur-Ki" in modern Russian means "Divine Land of the First Ancestors". Thus, the origin of the modern word "Kyiv" is not at all from the legendary Prince Kyi, as the enemies of the Russian people deceive, and therefore, until the Middle Ages (when there was a falsified correspondence of all world history in favor of our enemies with the destruction of everything ancient Russian and the fabrication of pseudo-ancient "books ”, “monuments”, etc.) in all ancient books in all languages, Kyiv was most often called the “Mother City”. The expressions “Earth-Mother” and “Kyiv-Mother” have survived to this day, contrary to the wishes of our enemies. And the expression: “Kyiv is the Mother of Russian cities!” every student in the world knows. I draw your attention to the "Mother of Russian cities!" And then the enemies of the Russian people so falsified historical science that even those of them who consider themselves "historians" write books about the mysterious "ancestral home of the Aryans", the mysterious "Indo-European pracivilization", "northern Hyperborea", incomprehensible " Trypillia culture”, It is not known where the “Great Mongolia” came 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 there is no GOD.

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

Since ancient times, the swastika symbolism 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, Indians, 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, 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, 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).

The swastika, what ancient figurative meaning it carries, what it 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 a German cross or a fascist sign and relegates its image and meaning only to Adolf Hitler, Germany 1933-45, to fascism (National Socialism) and the Second World War. Modern "journalists", "is-Torics" 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 a state symbol and placed its image on money .

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 banknotes of the USSR they were withdrawn from circulation.

The authorities of Soviet Russia, in order to get support in Siberia, created in 1918 sleeve patches for the Red Army soldiers of the South-Eastern Front, they depicted a Swastika with the abbreviation R.S.F.S.R. inside. But they did the same: the Russian Government of 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). In Mein Kampf, Hitler details 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 be as effective as a political poster. The Fuhrer also writes about the colors for the party flag, which were considered, but were rejected. White "was not a color that carried away the masses", but was most suitable "for virtuous old maids and for all kinds of fasting unions." Black was also rejected, as it was far from drawing attention to itself. The combination of blue and white was excluded because they were the official colors of Bavaria. The white and black combination was also unacceptable. The black-red-gold banner was out of the question, since it was used by the Weimar Republic. Black, white and red in their old combination were out of place due to the fact that they "represented the old Reich, perished as a result of its own weaknesses and mistakes." Nevertheless, Hitler chose these three colors, as they, in his opinion, were better than all the others (“this is the most powerful chord of colors that is possible at all”). Under the definition of "Nazi" symbols, not any swastika fits, but only a four-pointed one, standing on an edge of 45 °, with the ends pointing to the right side. It was this sign that 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 (Swastika), but a symbol similar to it in design - Hakenkreuz, which has a completely different figurative meaning - a change in the world around us and a person's worldview.

By the way, in the minds of 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, 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 clergy of various Tribal cults, Religions and religions used it, then representatives of the highest state power began to use swastika symbols - princes, kings, etc., and after them all kinds of occultists and politicians turned to the Swastika.

After the Bolsheviks had 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.

In February 1925, the Kuna Indians expelled the Panamanian gendarmes from their territory, announcing the creation of an independent republic of Tula, on the banner of which they were. "Tula" is translated as "people", the self-name of the tribe, and the swastika is their ancient symbol. In 1942, the flag was changed slightly to avoid association with Germany: a "nose ring" was put on the swastika, "because everyone knows that the 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 writer Rudyard Kipling used the swastika as a personal coat of arms. 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, there was an incident in Glendale, California, when a small group of anti-fascist fanatics tried to force the city government to replace 930 (!) lampposts installed between 1924 and 1926. Reason: 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 local traditions 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 undoubtedly the fascia (from the Latin fascis, bunch), which Benito Mussolini borrowed from ancient rome. The fascia consisted of rods tied with a leather belt, with a lictor hatchet embedded inside. Such bundles were carried by the lictors (servants under the higher magistrates and some priests) in front of the state person accompanied by them. 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 a tricolor with a lictor hatchet, symbolizing the unity of military veterans. The organization was called "Fashi di Combattimento" and served as the basis for the creation in 1922 of the fascist party. It should be remembered that fasces are a common decorative element of the Classicism style, in which many buildings of the 18th and early 19th centuries were built. (including in St. Petersburg and Moscow), so their use in the context of this style is not "fascist". In addition, fasces with axes 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, the 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.

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

The Sanskrit exclamation "Swasti!" translated, in particular, as "good!" and to this day sounds in the rituals of Hinduism, framing the pronunciation of the sacred syllable AUM ("AUM Gear!"). Analyzing the word "swastika", Gustave Dumoutier decomposed it into three syllables: su-auti-ka. ou is a root denoting "good", "good", superlatives or suridas, "prosperity." Auti is the present indicative form of the third person singular of the verb as "to be" (Latin sum). Ka is a substantive suffix.
The Sanskrit name suastika, Max Müller wrote to Heinrich Schliemann, approximates the Greek "possible", "may", "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 the Anglo-Saxon fela, German viel ("many") and fotr, foot ("foot"), i.e. "multi-legged" figure. However, in scientific literature and Fylfot, and the above-mentioned "tetraskelis" with a gamma cross, and the "hammer of Thor" (Mjollnir) mistakenly identified with the swastika, were gradually replaced by the Sanskrit name.

According to M. Muller, the right-sided gamma cross (suastika) is a sign of light, life, holiness and well-being, which corresponds in nature to the spring, the rising sun. The left-hand sign, suavastika, on the contrary, expresses darkness, death, evil and destruction; it corresponds to the waning, autumn luminary. We find a similar chain 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, patronized by the god Ganesha. Suavastika is also the sun, but subterranean or nocturnal, passive state, 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-handed swastika is a symbol of the summer solstice, from which the daylight begins to decline, and the right-handed winter, from which the day is gaining strength. The main traditions of mankind (Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, etc.) contain both law and left-sided swastika, which are evaluated not on a scale of "good-evil", but as two sides of a single process. Thus, "destruction" is not "evil" in the dualistic sense for Eastern metaphysics, but only back side creation, etc.

In ancient times, when our Ancestors used the ‘Aryan Runes, the word Swastika was translated as Coming from Heaven. Since 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.

I am closer to the traditional version of the Aryan decoding of the word.

Su asti ka: su asti - greeting, wish of good luck, prosperity, ka - a prefix denoting a particularly spiritual attitude.

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, symbolizes philosophical specifics.
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. It also implies a two-way movement in the direction of the hour hand and against it, symbolizing the male and female principles of Yin and Yang, respectively. In the scriptures of ancient India, a distinction is made between masculine and feminine 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 is known a large number of similar fascist movements, which appeared mainly between the two terrifying wars of the twentieth century, as well as the very diverse symbols 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 a right angle. 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.

Yes, reader, let's now be puzzled by this question, why did Adolf Hitler make the swastika a symbol of National Socialism ?!

The fact that the swastika - the gamma cross - is an Aryan symbol, most modern people the planet learned, unfortunately, at the suggestion of Hitler. Alas, it happened. The Nazi Fuhrer himself claimed that he was Aryan, and for this reason he had full right adopt the Aryan swastika.

What this "Aryan" did in history, we all know. The Second World War unleashed by him (1939-1945) claimed only 50 million people of different nationalities killed and another 100 million people became crippled. And all this atrocity against many peoples was committed under the sign of the Aryan swastika. Here under this sign:

At the same time, it is known that a few decades earlier, the same cross symbol, only with a different direction of bending of its ends, was especially revered in the Russian Empire.

Towel. Tarnogsky district Vologda region. End of the 19th century.

What did the swastika sign symbolize in the minds of Russians?

Why did the last Russian tsar have it with him, and why did ordinary Russians in the recent past also have a swastika in their homes in the form of embroideries and drawings?

If you dig in encyclopedias, you can find the following explanation: "The swastika has been a symbol of well-being for the Slavs since ancient times."

Such a definition explains quite exhaustively why this symbol was once widely used. Was it believed to bring prosperity? Well, who doesn't want to have one?

Once I saw the same signs of the swastika on the ancient clothes of Orthodox priests stored in the museum. This museum is located in the Novodevichy Bogoroditsa-Smolensky Monastery.

Personally, this presence of swastikas on the old clothes of Russian clergy surprised me a little, puzzled me, and then prompted me to think that the swastika is not just"symbol of prosperity", behind this sign-cross lies something more. And I wanted to dig deeper, explore this topic.

In the process of searching, I found out that the words "symbol of prosperity" is just an adjective. A simple example: sometimes at weddings, the groom is given the task of naming 10 adjective words for his bride, and he begins to list: beloved, affectionate, kind, caring, and so on ... So the words "symbol of well-being" are adjectives .. .

I am sure that most modern people who have not conducted such a search like me will never guess that in ancient times the swastika sign was, it turns out, the most important symbol of Christianity!

Yes, yes, the most important!

I will say more: it was the only cross in true Christianity, if true Christianity is understood as the practical activity of Jesus Christ and his 12 disciples-apostles.

So, this symbol of the swastika in the teachings and practice of Jesus Christ graphically denoted God, who is Spirit!

"God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth" (John 4:23-24).

Have you heard, do you know these words of Christ the Savior?

From the very beginning, this graphic image of the God-Spirit in the form of a swastika filled the Teachings of Jesus Christ with a deep ideological meaning, one might even say a natural science meaning.

The image presented here is dated 2-5 century AD. This drawing (on the left - restored, on the right - a fragment of the original) was found on the wall in the catacombs of Priscilla, in Rome. It is interpreted that the dove here depicts the soul of a deceased righteous man who flew to Paradise to take communion from a vessel with"by the Holy Spirit" . Not to write on the bowl of the word"Holy Spirit"or"spirit", the painter replaced the words with a graphic image - the sign of the swastika.

Reference: Catacombs of Priscilla- Christian underground burials of the II-V centuries in Rome, forming three levels. These catacombs originated in the burial place of the Roman family of the consul Aquilia Glabrius. In the 1st century A.D. e. this family owned vast lands. One of the representatives of this family, Priscilla, was executed by order of the emperor Domitian. In the Greek chapel (Italian: Capella Greca), named after the found inscriptions in Greek, a feast scene (an allegory of the Eucharist) is depicted. Samples of early Christian art have been preserved in this chapel, including the oldest image of the Virgin Mary with a baby in her arms and the prophet Isaiah or Balaam, dating back to the 2nd century.

Exactly the same vessel"by the Holy Spirit" , which is guarded by birds of paradise, was depicted in an old mosaic floor painting, also related to early Christian art. And here we also see the swastika. This image is a screen capture from a documentary about Christianity in the early centuries. In 2016, it was shown on the Russian TV channel Kultura.

And now you will see a completely interesting mosaic floor picture of one of the early Christian churches. To be honest, this picture really impressed me!

This is a swastika on a mosaic floor in a Christian church built in the city of Geras (Jerash) in the Northern Jordan in 553. Orthodox Church"Saint Cosmas and Saint Damian".

This floor mosaic picture shows multiple images of swastikas moving in all directions! So the early Christian artist tried to convey through painting the meaning that was previously clear to every believing Christian: "Holy Spirit" moves in space, and in movement he performs some kind of sacred action known only to him.

In the presented picture, we find a swastika in the form of such "bricks" different directions rotation in the projection - left-handed and right-handed.

If a simple flat sign of the swastika symbolizes some kind of rotation around its axis in one direction or another, then creating a similar three-dimensional image of the swastika, the ancient Orthodox artist tried to show some kind of "spiritual movement" in space, in which one can guessspiral movement!

This mosaic picture testifies that in ancient times the first Christians had a natural-scientific idea of"Holy Spirit" !

And there is evidence (practically proof!) that the ancients saw the physical meaning of the "Holy Spirit" - in its spiral movement!

In the language of ancient scientists - Latin - the word spiral (spiralis from spira) - means "coil, curl". And the word spiro translated from the same Latin into Russian - means "to blow, winnow, be alive."

I note that in the old days the people in Russia image "gamma cross" did not call "swastika", but called the word "breeze". Which completely coincides with the meaning of "to blow, winnow, be alive." This can be read historian Roman Bagdasarov.

Now attention! "Holy Spirit" in Latin - Spiritus Sanctus.

As you can see, the root is the same everywhere - "spir", and therefore the meaning is the same!

These are the miracles that are opening up for someone (for me they have been opened for a long time!) centuries after the birth of Christ!!!

And now we are all being convinced, and many have already been convinced, literally forced to believe that main character Christianity is the cross on which, according to the Gospels, the Savior was crucified. And no one among the believers thinks (there is faith - is there no mind?) that it is blasphemy - to turn the object or instrument of killing a holy person into a symbol of faith. However, today, alas, after the war unleashed by Adolf Hitler, Christians of all denominations revere only the wooden cross-crucifix, well, the golden cross-crucifix that they hang around their necks, as a symbol of Christianity. And if you think about it, this cross is nothing more than a symbol of the torment and death of one of the great enlighteners.

It is phenomenal that many people today literally look at the swastika with fear, and at the same time, the crucifixion of Christ the Savior on display does not frighten or shock them at all!

Roman play called: "Look, Christians, what we have done to your God!"

Do you think Adolf Hitler did not know about the real sacred sense swastikas when he took it as a symbol of Nazism and World War II?!

Do you think he did not know that in early Christianity it was a symbol of God, who is a spirit?

Of course he did! He had a powerful organization "Ahnenerbe", which was specially created back in 1935 for "studying the traditions, history and heritage of the German race with the aim of occult and ideological support for the functioning of the state apparatus of the Third Reich".

And if he knew everything, then what?

Why did the early Christian symbol of God, a symbol of well-being, (a symbol of receiving a blessing!), Which in pre-revolutionary Russia was a holy symbol, why did he use it to make June 22, 1941, on the day of the summer solstice, perfidious attack on the USSR?

Pay attention to the word "treacherous", and to the fact that Hitler planned the attack on the USSR on a holy day for the sun-worshipping Slavs. It was, firstly, the summer solstice, and secondly, it was Sunday!

In 1941, in the reports of the Sovinformburo about Germany's treacherous attack on the USSR It was said more than once, and every Soviet person understood it in his own way. Most, of course, thought that this word referred to political relations and agreements between Stalin and Hitler. In part, this was true. But it was even more true in a religious sense: using the swastika as a symbol of war and Nazism, Adolf Hitler acted literally as the Anti-Christ. That was the biggest treachery on his part...

Perfidy in the sense that he used the symbol of the Christian God to kill millions of people...
