The name "Swastika", actually means something close to, "It is well with my soul," or "It is peaceful to me," or "Be at peace," and in many places it is considered a sign of welcome and blessing and well wishing.
I didnt even know this! Interesting indeed.
I only heared that there are Swastikas often usen on old statues and paintings on most important persons ... therefore it was presumed to be symbol of important people who were abowe the others ...
For example there is some old Indian (i believe?) painting of Gilgamesh (i believe?) where he is aproximately 1/3 taller tan anyone else, have blue skin, and Swastika on his chest.
And since Hitler wanted his people to concider themselves superhumans ... he used this symbol for them. :-/
Sad story for the symbol.
I guess it shows that the two are similar in that both were meant for good but twisted to be considered evil.
Indeed ...
And just for the record, in case it wasnt obvious ... you were right there is many people using all those and many more symbols wrong ... i pitty them for they are often missguided.
But i guess its easier to go with the flow, than do proper research. :-/
But it allways pleases my heart when i see exception. ^_^
