FYLFOT = Swastika
The Fylfot (meaning "four footed") is Mankinds oldest symbol of power, There are thousands of variaties of this symbol in the Germanic Heathen tradition

Associated with fire and lightning, the Fylfot is mainly holy to Thor, and is a symbol of cosmic power, and unstoppable swirling strength of the will,
This symbol occurs frequently throughout the world since the early Bronze Age and are frequent on cremation urns and carved memorial grave stones with early Runic inscriptions,

This most Sacred of symbols was greatly abused in the twentieth century by the Nazi's.

You see, the Nazi's stole the symbol (knowing it's meaning) to promote themselves. But since they put it on basicly everything they had, now whenever we see the Fylfot "Swastika" we automaticly think of the horrors of WWII

Here's an example of one of the old urns that has the Fylfot on it

Swastika not bad

Most people know that. The Hindu religion uses it, and lots of other places, but the Holocaust and shit like that made a greater impression than subtle symbols in some Mayan urn....

Dunno, but I still don't like it. It was used by the Nazi party, therefore it's nothing good. Stop sympathizing with madmen.

I think its common knowledge that the swastika was in use before the nazi's, infact it was used by a lot of cultures. Hindu's, Buddhists, it was even found in parts of Iran and eastern Europe thatd dated back a long time ago.

But still, as long as nazis and white supremecists continue to use it for a symbol of hate it will continue to be associated with rasicm and intolerance.

That's why I made this thread, but since I'm getting mostly bad responces I guess this was a little to much information for the averidge New Grounder to handle

yes the swastika was not made up by the nazis, but the first thing that will come to mind for most people is the nazis.

But if we ditch the symbol all together than we've lost a little piece of history all because of a bunch of ignorant people (and the Nazi's)

I also think that Rudyard Kipling took the hindu symbol and put it in the front covers of all of his books.
