Fascist swastika in reverse. Reverse swastika (right-handed)

The swastika for us is the personification of fascism and all the horrors of the Great Patriotic War. With this word, we always imagine a black cross on a red flag, painfully familiar from films and books. War, death, swastika merge into a single image. If we look into history, then, to our surprise, we will discover a huge number of a wide variety of swastikas, which our ancestors used for protection, increasing wealth and happiness.

The word “swastika” itself comes from Sva - a bird, the ancestor of all life on Earth. The swastika, translated into modern Russian, is what gives birth to life. All types of swastikas are intended either to keep what you already have safe and sound, or to get something new. Moreover, all their huge number can be divided into two types: direct and reverse swastikas.

A straight swastika is one that moves clockwise. If you push its blades, it will begin to spin clockwise, creating a luminous stream of energy around itself. It was this kind of swastika in Rus' that was called the true swastika or simply the swastika. It is designed to create a flow of vitality that attracts necessary events to a person.

The reverse swastika rotates counterclockwise. This is a dangerous sign. Such a swastika creates a destructive whirlwind around itself. It protects the one who wears it, but destroys everything that prevents the power encoded in this symbol from manifesting itself. The infamous fascist swastika was designed to destroy all obstacles in the path of those who wore it.

At first, the magic of this sign helped to achieve what was desired - the first steps of Nazi Germany were more than successful.

But any swastika is a double-edged sign. The swastika evokes the energy of Fire around itself, which must be supported by the inner fire of the person wearing it. If a person does not have enough internal fire, the energy fire caused by the symbol will turn against the owner himself and destroy everything acquired with its help. Ultimately, this is what happened to Nazi Germany. The attempt to take away everything they had from the world and other nations dashed the Nazis' original aspirations to build an ideal society. The fire of creativity was reborn into the fire of destruction, into the fire of war and fires, and ultimately destroyed everything that was created at the beginning. Let's return to the ancient symbols and try to penetrate into their mystical power, which is accessible to us today just as it was to our distant ancestors.

So, the first sign:

Kolovrat - most often comes in two colors: blue - giving renewal of life, and black - changing through the destruction of the old. This sign is designed to protect movement as a necessary part of life. Ideally, it promotes the spiritual growth of a person and the purification of his karma through a set of experiences.

Inglia is the sign of the primary viviparous Fire of creativity. Fire that gives birth to all living things. Called to protect against evil spirits. It gives a person additional strength and increases his performance.

The holy gift is a sign that protects a person’s ancestral abilities and powers, his holy gift, his spiritual powers. Helps the human spirit to realize itself in the material world, removing obstacles to the development of self-awareness. For those who are not interested in intangible benefits, it is better not to use this sign.

Swaor symbolizes the movement of the heavens and the eternal circulation of the forces of the Universe. Protects prosperity and happiness in the home. (If there are none, it is better not to use the sign; it is better to turn to the power of the solstice.)

Svaor-sun-vrat symbolizes the movement of the Sun across the sky. It has the ability to move a person’s material life from a dead point, so that its power does not bring any trouble; purity of thoughts and deeds, kindness and the desire for spiritual improvement are required from its bearer.

Agni (fire) is a symbol of sacred Fire. One of the kindest and easiest to use symbols. Drawn in red. Protects against evil spirits, strengthens the body's immunity, gives additional strength for work and calms the train of thought if you concentrate your attention on it for at least 7-15 minutes. Constant concentration on this sign (recommended 7 minutes every day for 3 months, then a month break, after which you can continue in the same sequence) has a beneficial effect on blood composition.

Fache (flame) is a symbol of protection of internal spiritual Fire. Called to destroy that which prevents the liberation of the human spirit from egoism.

Posolon means “according to the Sun.” The strength of the luminary from sunrise to sunset is given by this sign to the one who wears it. Helps withstand intense work, gives inspiration and creative impulse.
This sign is not recommended to be worn at night.

Charovrat is a magical sign that calls into action the powers of the midnight (hidden from the eyes of people by the Earth) Sun. So called because it helps light magic and “turns away evil witchcraft” from the owner.

The godman gives the protection of higher powers to its owner. Helps to understand the unity of the Universe and the laws of its development.

The ancestor protects the thread of human life, provides connection and support to deceased ancestors. (Now the sign is unsafe, since over the years of the last century negative karma has accumulated in many births, which will begin to work under the influence of this sign.) Helps to find worthy offspring.

The wedding is a sign designed to protect family happiness and well-being. It is formed by the fusion of two types of swastikas - direct and reverse. At the same time it gives strength and destroys everything that interferes with a happy marriage and family life.

Duniya is a sign of the union of earthly and heavenly Fire. It is considered one of the strongest signs that protect existing earthly happiness. Preserves the clan, family, and well-being of a person as long as he is interested in everything new and continues to create.

The heavenly boar is a sign of the unity of the past and the future. This is a symbol that influences the movement of time in a person’s life and the fulfillment of his desires. It is good to cut or embroider it when making a wish, and carry it with you until your wish comes true.

Yarovrat is a symbol of the protective power of Yarila the Sun. This power makes the secret obvious and reveals to a person the true reasons for his failures. Protects soil fertility.

Soul swastika - this and subsequent swastikas were used to accumulate and concentrate forces. The spiritual swastika promotes healing, makes it possible to control the body and the processes occurring in it, and strengthens the human astral body. Priests often used it in their clothing.

The spiritual swastika strengthens a person’s connection with the world of higher powers. Gradually removes obstacles that prevent you from receiving information and help from other worlds. Symbolizes the connection of body, soul and spirit. Strengthens innate abilities to control natural processes.

Kolyadnik is a sign of the god Kolyada. Symbolizes the cycle of life, bringing change for the better. This sign is similar to the famous Wheel of Fortune: it brings a person who is ready for change to the top, and can crush someone who is not ready. The caroler was considered a man's amulet.

Swastika

Swastika is a word made up of two Sanskrit roots: the noun “good”, “associated with good”, and the verb “to be” or “to consist”, i.e. “well-being”, “well-being”. Another interpretation of the word: Sanskrit “su” - the sun bird and “astika” - the deity of the seasons. The swastika is a mystical and ancient diagram of “the most archaic and most sacred, universally revered symbol.”

Since ancient times, the swastika was understood as a symbol of the four main forces, the four cardinal directions, the elements, the seasons and the alchemical idea of ​​the transformation of elements. The swastika is a cross with curved ends directed clockwise and counterclockwise. In Rus', a cross with curved ends had its own Russian name - “Kolovrat” (solstice, gate of the sun).

Kolovrat symbolized the victory of the sun, light over darkness, life over death. Translated into modern Russian, the swastika is what gives birth to life. The swastika has a huge number of different forms, each of which has its own purpose and is used to protect, preserve and increase wealth and happiness. On the territory of Russia, the swastika has been one of the main ornamental symbols for more than three thousand years, as eloquently evidenced by materials from archaeological excavations and historical ethnography. Not only Europe, but even India cannot compare with Russia in the abundance of swastikas that covered Russian weapons, banners, national costume, houses, everyday objects, temples, and objects of Orthodox worship.

If in almost all foreign languages ​​various designs of the Solar Cross with curved rays are called one word Swastika - Swastika, then in Russian there were and still are 144 (!!!) names for various variants of swastika symbols, which convincingly speaks of the country of origin of this solar symbol. For example: Swastika, Kolovrat, Solstice, Posolon, Svaor, Agni, Fash, Mara, Inglia, Bedara, Svetolet, Race, Bogovnik, Svarozhich, Svyatoch, Yarovrat, Rodimich, Charovrat, Svarga, Solard, Kolyadnik, Kerzhach, etc.

But with the coming to power in Russia of the Jewish-communist kagal, the fight against the swastika takes on a particularly active form. At the suggestion of the leader of the Red Army, the Jewish Freemason Leiba Davidovich Bronstein (Trotsky), the satanic five-pointed star of the Masonic idol Baphomet becomes a symbol of the Red Army and the Soviet state.

The Kolovrat-swastika had enormous significance in the Russian cultural and everyday tradition until the Red Star Commissars began the physical destruction of the Russian people, the Orthodox faith, Russian culture and traditions under the pretext of class struggle, and later the fight against fascist, anti-Soviet conspiracies. As a result, millions and millions of the best representatives of the Russian people were exterminated: military personnel, workers, peasants, intellectuals, representatives of the Russian Orthodox clergy, true patriots of their Motherland, their Nation.

Today, burry Russophobes and their lackeys, who have seized power in Russia, have legally banned the swastika solely as a symbol of German Nazi fascism. And not out of stupidity or thoughtlessness, but deliberately, deliberately. They discredit the swastika with slanderous television and newspaper propaganda, citing only the fact that it is a symbol of the purely German political movement of the Third Reich (20-40s) in its short-term domination, which collapsed from the Soviet Union (read from the Russian people ), who, as we know, suffered huge losses in the Second World War, unleashed by the Jews. Therefore, for the Judeo-Bolshevik rule, the swastika is a terrible reminder of German fascism.

1. Why then do these zealous opponents of reminders of German fascism claim that the state flag of Russia is the old Russian tricolor trade flag, which was the main symbol in the Hitler Army, in the troops of the traitor to the Motherland - General Vlasov?! There is no need to explain what the Vlasovites were and what kind of memory they left of themselves for the “Russians” (especially front-line soldiers) - the Vlasovites were not even taken prisoner, they were shot on the spot.

2. As a fact: by the time of the attack on the USSR, Hitler was tightly surrounded by Jews. For example, Field Marshal Milch was a purebred Jew, Eichmann, kidnapped and executed in Israel, was a Jew, Heydrich, killed in Prague, was a half-breed, Hitler’s personal doctor was a Jew, even his personal cook was a Jew. Himmler's famous statement: “Here I decide who is a Jew and who is not!” The punitive troops of the SS and SD were full of Jews, and it was these troops that became famous for their atrocities against civilians. More than 10 thousand Jews from these troops alone were captured by the Red Army. So let's legally ban Jews in Russia as a non-indigenous people, so that nothing will remind us of the atrocities of German fascism in our country. The terrible war unleashed by Hitler against the USSR, among other results, also led to the fact (not without the influence of Zionized Soviet propaganda) that the swastika, like the word fascism, became synonymous with the bloody, deadly parasitism of foreign people on the Russian people. But in this modern interpretation of fascism, ZIONISM-TALMUDISM fully corresponds to it.

But any swastika is a double-edged sign. The swastika evokes the energy of Fire around itself, which must be supported by the inner fire of the person wearing it. If a person does not have enough internal fire, the energy fire caused by the symbol will turn against the owner himself and destroy everything acquired with its help. This is what happened with Hitler’s Germany - the desire to build an ideal society, thanks to the magic of this sign, was more than successful, but the attempt to take away everything they had from the world and other nations degenerated the fire of Creativity into the fire of Destruction and the latter ultimately destroyed everything that was created in the beginning.

It is not for nothing that Zionist Judeo-Satanism is afraid of the swastika-Kolovrat, knowing its irresistible miraculous power, and therefore strives by all means to eradicate it from the genetic memory of the Russian people.

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!

What is a swastika? Many will answer without hesitation - the fascists used the swastika symbol. Someone will say - this is an ancient Slavic amulet, and both will be right and wrong at the same time. How many legends and myths are there around this sign? They say that on the very shield that the Prophetic Oleg nailed to the doors of Constantinople, a swastika was depicted.

What is a swastika?

The swastika is an ancient symbol that appeared before our era and has a rich history. Many nations dispute each other's right to invent it. Images of swastikas were found in China and India. This is a very significant symbol. What does the swastika mean - creation, sun, prosperity. The translation of the word “swastika” from Sanskrit means a wish for good and good luck.

Swastika - origin of the symbol

The swastika symbol is a solar sign. The main meaning is movement. The earth moves around the sun, the four seasons constantly replace each other - it is easy to see that the main meaning of the symbol is not just movement, but the eternal movement of the universe. Some researchers declare the swastika to be a reflection of the eternal rotation of the galaxy. The swastika is a symbol of the sun, all ancient peoples have references to it: at excavations of Incan settlements, fabrics with the image of a swastika were found, it is on ancient Greek coins, even on the stone idols of Easter Island there are swastika signs.

The original drawing of the sun is a circle. Then, noticing the four-part picture of existence, people began to draw a cross with four rays to the circle. However, the picture turned out to be static - and the universe is eternally in dynamics, and then the ends of the rays bent - the cross turned out to be moving. These rays also symbolize four days of the year that were significant for our ancestors - the days of the summer/winter solstice, the spring and autumn equinox. These days determine the astronomical change of seasons and served as signs when to engage in farming, construction and other important matters for society.

Swastika left and right

We see how comprehensive this sign is. It is very difficult to explain in monosyllables what a swastika means. It is multifaceted and multi-valued, it is a sign of the fundamental principle of existence with all its manifestations, and among other things, the swastika is dynamic. It can rotate both right and left. Many people confuse and consider the direction where the ends of the rays point to be the side of rotation. It is not right. The side of rotation is determined by the bending angles. Let's compare it with a person's leg - the movement is directed where the bent knee is directed, and not the heel at all.

Left-handed swastika

There is a theory that says that clockwise rotation is the correct swastika, and counterclockwise is a bad, dark swastika, the opposite. However, this would be too banal - right and left, black and white. In nature, everything is justified - day gives way to night, summer - winter, there is no division into good and bad - everything that exists is needed for something. So it is with the swastika - there is no good or bad, there is left-handed and right-handed.

Left-handed swastika - rotates counterclockwise. This is the meaning of cleansing, restoration. Sometimes it is called the sign of destruction - in order to build something light, you need to destroy the old and dark. The swastika could be worn in left rotation; it was called the “Heavenly Cross” and was a symbol of clan unity, an offering to the one who wears it, the help of all the ancestors of the clan and the protection of heavenly forces. The left-sided swastika was considered a collective sign of the autumn sun.

Right-hand swastika

The right-hand swastika rotates clockwise and denotes the beginning of all things - birth, development. This is a symbol of the spring sun - creative energy. It was also called Novorodnik or the Solar Cross. It symbolized the power of the sun and the prosperity of the family. The sun sign and the swastika in this case are equal. It was believed that it gave the greatest power to priests. The Prophetic Oleg, who was spoken of at the beginning, had the right to wear this sign on his shield, since he was in charge, that is, he knew the Ancient Wisdom. From these beliefs came theories proving the ancient Slavic origin of the swastika.

Slavic swastika

The left-sided and right-sided swastika of the Slavs is called – and Posolon. The swastika fills the Kolovrat with light, protects from darkness, Salting gives hard work and spiritual perseverance, the sign serves as a reminder that man was created for development. These names are only two of a large group of Slavic swastika signs. What they had in common were crosses with curved arms. There could be six or eight rays, they were bent both to the right and to the left, each sign had its own name and was responsible for a specific security function. The Slavs had 144 main swastika symbols. In addition to the above, the Slavs had:

• Solstice;
• England;
• Svarozhich;
• Wedding Party;
• Perunov light;
• Heavenly boar and many other types of variations based on the solar elements of the swastika.

Swastika of the Slavs and the Nazis - differences

Unlike the fascist one, the Slavs did not have strict canons in the depiction of this sign. There could be any number of rays, they could be broken at different angles, they could also be rounded. The symbol of the swastika among the Slavs is a greeting, a wish for good luck, while at the Nazi congress in 1923, Hitler convinced supporters that the swastika meant the fight against Jews and communists for the purity of blood and the superiority of the Aryan race. The fascist swastika has its own strict requirements. This and only this image is the German swastika:

1. The ends of the cross should be bent to the right;
2. All lines intersect strictly at an angle of 90°;
3. The cross must be in a white circle on a red background.
4. The correct word to say is not “swastika”, but Hakkenkreyz

Swastika in Christianity

In early Christianity, they often resorted to the image of the swastika. It was called the “gamma cross” because of its similarity with the Greek letter gamma. The swastika was used to disguise the cross during the times of persecution of Christians - Catacomb Christianity. The swastika or Gammadion was the main emblem of Christ until the end of the Middle Ages. Some experts draw a direct parallel between the Christian and swastika crosses, calling the latter a “whirling cross.”

The swastika was actively used in Orthodoxy before the revolution: as part of the ornament of priestly vestments, in icon painting, in frescoes that painted the walls of churches. However, there is also the exact opposite opinion - the gammadion is a broken cross, a pagan symbol that has nothing to do with Orthodoxy.

Swastika in Buddhism

You can encounter a swastika wherever there are traces of Buddhist culture; it is the footprint of Buddha. The Buddhist swastika, or “manji,” denotes the versatility of the world order. The vertical line is opposed to the horizontal one, like the relationship between heaven and earth and the relationship between male and female. Turning the rays in one direction emphasizes the desire for kindness, gentleness, and in the opposite direction - for hardness and strength. This gives an understanding of the impossibility of the existence of force without compassion, and compassion without force, the denial of any one-sidedness as a violation of world harmony.

Indian swastika

The swastika is no less common in India. There are left- and right-handed swastikas. Rotation clockwise symbolizes the male energy “yin”, counter-clockwise - the female energy “yang”. Sometimes this sign denotes all the gods and goddesses in Hinduism, then, at the line of intersection of the rays, the sign “om” is added - a symbol of the fact that all gods have a common beginning.

1. Right rotation: denotes the sun, its movement from east to west - the development of the universe.
2. Left rotation represents the goddess Kali, magic, night - the folding of the universe.

Is the swastika prohibited?

The swastika was banned by the Nuremberg Tribunal. Ignorance has given rise to a lot of myths, for example, that the swastika stands for four connected letters “G” - Hitler, Himmler, Goering, Goebbels. However, this version turned out to be completely untenable. Hitler, Himmler, Göring, Goebbels - not a single surname begins with this letter. There are known cases when the most valuable specimens containing images of swastikas in embroidery, on jewelry, ancient Slavic and early Christian amulets were confiscated and destroyed from museums.

Many European countries have laws that prohibit fascist symbols, but the principle of freedom of speech is almost undeniable. Each case of the use of Nazi symbols or swastikas looks like a separate trial.

1. In 2015, Roskomnazor allowed the use of swastika images without propaganda purposes.
2. Germany has strict legislation regulating the depiction of swastikas. There are several court decisions banning or allowing images.
3. France has passed a law banning the public display of Nazi symbols.

Preface

If you want to know something new, read something ancient.

An old proverb

The language of symbols is a true, universal, pan-human language, equally valid for all times and peoples.

V. Shmakov

Symbolic language is a universal language. Symbolism not only expresses the relationships between things, phenomena and ideas. However, most people do not speak the language of symbols and do not know how to decipher it, while symbols are extremely important for understanding the ways of development of human thought, art, customs, religion and mythology.

In former times, symbolism was secret knowledge, which was carefully guarded by a narrow circle of Initiates. Now the time has come when access to symbols is open to everyone, and the number of people who want to study them and work with them is constantly growing.

The surge of interest in symbols in the modern world is considered by many to be an indicator of the revival of people’s spiritual needs, their desire to break out of the tight cage of everyday life into which our lives often turn.

Symbols serve as pointers and help to better understand the world around us, and therefore live in harmony with it. And now is the time to reveal a new meaning of classical symbols, which, having arisen in the vast distance of centuries, have retained their meaning to this day. Who knows how many layers of the Unknown they still conceal within themselves, what laws of the universe that are still unknown to us are encrypted in them and are waiting in the wings to be revealed to Man!

The book is intended for a wide range of readers, regardless of age, education, or level of perception. Discover ancient knowledge that links our world together, expanding the horizons of both the past and the future.

Geometric symbols

The absolute symbolic language is the language of geometric figures...

Geometric figures are the concrete embodiment of numbers. Numbers belong to the world of principles, and they become geometric figures as they descend into the physical plane.

O. M. Aivankhov

Almost all geometric symbols consist of combinations of several geometric elements - simple components, each of which at the same time has its own special meaning, contributing to the overall composition.

“Geometric figures are like the frame of reality, while images still contain, so to speak, a little flesh, skin and muscles” (O. M. Aivankhov).

Geometric symbols are stable and are passed down from generation to generation without changes.

Swastika straight (left-handed)

Swastika as a solar symbol

A straight (left-sided) swastika is a cross with the ends curved to the left. Rotation is considered to occur clockwise (opinions sometimes differ in determining the direction of movement).

The straight swastika is a symbol of blessing, good omen, prosperity, good luck and aversion to misfortune, as well as a symbol of fertility, longevity, health and life. It is also a symbol of masculinity, spirituality, inhibiting the flow of lower (physical) forces and allowing the energies of a higher, divine nature to manifest.

Double pentagram

Double Pentagram (Man and the Universe)

There is also a correspondence between the human body and the five elements (earth, water, air, fire and ether): will corresponds to earth, heart to water, intellect to air, soul to fire, spirit to ether. Thus, by his will, intellect, heart, soul, spirit, man is connected with the five elements working in the cosmos, and he can consciously work in harmony with them. This is precisely the meaning of the symbol of the double pentagram, in which the small one is inscribed in the large one: man (microcosm) lives and acts within the Universe (macrocosm).

Hexagram

Hexagram image

A hexagram is a figure composed of two polar triangles, a six-pointed star. It is a complex and seamless symmetrical shape in which six small individual triangles are grouped around a large central hexagon. The result is a star, although the original triangles retain their individuality. Since the upward-facing triangle is a heavenly symbol, and the downward-facing triangle is an earthly symbol, together they are a symbol of a person who unites these two worlds. It is a symbol of a perfect marriage that binds a man and a woman.

Seal of Solomon

Seal of Solomon, or Star of David

This is the famous magical seal of Solomon, or the Star of David. The upper triangle in her image is white, and the lower one is black. It symbolizes, first of all, the absolute law of analogy, expressed by the mystical formula: “What is below is similar to what is above.”

The Seal of Solomon is also a symbol of human evolution: one must learn not only to take, but also to give, absorb and radiate at the same time, radiate for the Earth, perceive from Heaven. We receive and are fulfilled only when we give to others. This is the perfect union of spirit and matter in man - the union of the solar plexus and the brain.

Five pointed star

Five pointed star

Star of Bethlehem

The five-pointed star has been interpreted in different ways, including symbolizing joy and happiness. It is also the emblem of the Semitic goddess Ishtar in her warlike incarnation, and in addition, the Star of Bethlehem. For Freemasons, the five-pointed star symbolizes the mystical center.

The Egyptians attached great importance to five- and six-pointed stars, as is clear from the text preserved on the wall of the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut.

Seven pointed star

Seven-pointed star of magicians

The seven-pointed star repeats the characteristic features of the five-pointed one. The Gnostic star has seven rays.

Seven- and nine-pointed stars, drawn with one line, are mystical stars in astrology and magic.

The Star of Magi can be read in two ways: sequentially along the course of the rays (along the line of the star) and along the circumference. Along the rays are the planets that control the days of the week: Sun - Sunday, Moon - Monday, Mars - Tuesday, Mercury - Wednesday, Jupiter - Thursday, Venus - Friday, Saturn - Saturday.

Nine-pointed star

Nine-pointed star of magicians

Nine-pointed stars, like seven-pointed ones, if they are drawn with one line, are mystical stars in astrology and magic.

The nine-pointed star, made up of three triangles, symbolizes the Holy Spirit.

Monad

Four components of the monad

This is a magical symbol called the monad by John Dee (1527–1608), advisor and astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I of England.

Dee presents the nature of magical symbols in terms of geometry and tests the monad in a number of theorems.

Dee explores the monad at such a deep level that he finds connections between his theory and Pythagorean harmony, biblical knowledge and mathematical proportions.

Spiral

Spiral structure of the Milky Way

Spiral shapes are found very often in nature, from spiral galaxies to whirlpools and tornadoes, from mollusk shells to patterns on human fingers, and even the DNA molecule has the shape of a double helix.

The spiral is a very complex and multi-valued symbol. But first of all, it is a symbol of the great creative (vital) force both at the cosmic level and at the microcosm level. The spiral is a symbol of time, cyclical rhythms, the change of seasons, birth and death, the phases of “aging” and “growth” of the Moon, as well as the Sun itself.

Tree of Life

The Tree of Life in the Human Being

Tree of Life

The Tree of Life does not belong to any culture - not even the Egyptians. It transcends races and religions. This image is an integral part of nature... Man himself is a miniature Tree of Life. He possessed immortality when connected to this tree. The Tree of Life can be thought of as the arteries of a large cosmic body.

Triquetra

The Triquetra largely has the symbolism of the swastika. This is also the movement of the Sun: at sunrise, zenith and sunset. There have been suggestions about the connection of this symbol with the lunar phases and the renewal of life. Like the swastika, it is a symbol that brings good luck. He often appears with solar symbols; it can be seen on ancient coins, on Celtic crosses, where it is believed that this sign symbolizes the triad and is a symbol of the sea god Manannan. It also appears in Teutonic symbolism, where it is associated with Thor.

Triskelion

A symbol of dynamic energy in the form of three legs connected together. It is similar to a swastika, but with three rather than four bent arms, creating a cyclical effect.

Human

Symbolic representation of man as the Universe: a square in a circle (China)

The word “swastika” in Sanskrit means the following: “svasti” (स्वस्ति) - greeting, wish for good luck, “su” (सु) translated means “good, good”, and “asti” (अस्ति), which means “is, to be” "

Few people now remember that on Soviet money in the period from 1917 to 1923 the Swastika was depicted as a legalized state symbol; that on the sleeve patches of soldiers and officers of the Red Army during the same period there was also a Swastika in a laurel wreath, and inside the Swastika there were the letters R.S.F.S.R. There is even an opinion that the Golden Swastika-Kolovrat, as a party symbol, was given 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 directed 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, Protective Power and Figurative meaning.

Swastika symbolism, being the oldest, is most often found in archaeological excavations. More often than other symbols, it was found in ancient mounds, on the ruins of ancient cities and settlements. In addition, they were depicted on various details of architecture, weapons, and household utensils of many peoples of the world. Swastika symbolism is found everywhere 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 card below).

English greeting card from the early 20th century

The oldest archaeological artifacts depicting swastika symbols now date back to approximately 4-15 millennium BC. (below is a vessel from the Scythian Kingdom of 3-4 thousand BC). According to archaeological excavations, the richest areas for the use of the swastika, both a religious and cultural symbol, are 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, everyday 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 form of Swastika, oriented to the four cardinal directions. This can be seen in the example of Vendogard and others (below is a reconstruction plan for Arkaim).

Reconstruction plan 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 images of 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 protective (amulet) meaning, because each symbol in the pattern had its own mystical power.

By combining various mystical forces, 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 molding, painting, beautiful carpets woven by hardworking hands (see photo below).

Traditional Celtic carpet with swastika pattern

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

Swastika symbols in levorotatory and dextrorotatory 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 funerary stele from the kingdom of Meroz, which existed in the 2nd-3rd centuries AD. The fresco on the stele depicts a woman entering the afterlife; a Swastika is emblazoned on the clothes of the deceased.

The rotating cross adorns golden weights for scales that belonged to the inhabitants of Ashanta (Ghana), and 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 people these ornaments belong to. Judge for yourself.

Since ancient times, swastika symbolism has been the main and dominant symbol among almost all peoples on the territory of Eurasia: Slavs, Germans, Mari, Pomors, Skalvi, Curonians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Mordovians, Udmurts, Bashkirs, Chuvash, 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 (below the Foot of the Buddha). 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 protective 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 the fabrics in which all sacred texts and tablets are wrapped. Very often, sacred texts from the Book of the Dead, which are written on funeral covers, are framed with swastika ornaments before cremation.

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

Pavilion Hall of the Hermitage. Mosaic floor. year 2001

But you will not find any reports 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 means now 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 reduces 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 human values” seem to have forgotten that the Swastika is the oldest Russian symbol, that in past times, 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.

250 ruble banknote of the Provisional Government. 1917

1000 ruble banknote of the Provisional Government. 1917

5000 ruble banknote of the Soviet Government. 1918

10,000 ruble banknote of the Soviet Government. 1918

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

Now few people know that the matrices of the 250 ruble banknote, with the image of the Swastika symbol - Kolovrat - against the background of a double-headed eagle, were made according to a 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 introduced new banknotes in denominations of 5,000 and 10,000 rubles, which depicted three Swastika-Kolovrat: two smaller Kolovrat in side ligatures intertwined with large numbers 5,000, 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 USSR banknotes were they taken out of circulation.

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

But they also did: 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 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, but a symbol similar to it in design - Hakenkreuz, which has a completely different figurative meaning - changing the world around us and a person’s worldview.

For many millennia, different designs of swastika symbols have had a powerful influence on people’s lifestyles, their psyche (Soul) and subconscious, uniting representatives of various tribes for some bright purpose; gave a powerful surge of light divine forces, revealing the internal reserves in people for comprehensive creation for the benefit of their Clans, in the name of justice, prosperity and well-being of their Fatherland.

At first, only the clergy of various Tribal cults, creeds and religions used this, then representatives of the highest state authorities began to use swastika symbols - princes, kings, etc., and after them all kinds of occultists and political figures turned to the Swastika.

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

In ancient times, when our Ancestors used, the word Swastika was translated as Who Came from Heaven. Since Rune - SVA meant Heaven (hence Svarog - Heavenly God), - S - Rune of direction; Runes - TIKA - movement, coming, flow, running. Our children and grandchildren still pronounce the word tick, i.e. run. In addition, the figurative form - TIKA is still found in everyday words Arctic, Antarctic, 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 located in the galactic sleeve, our entire galaxy (its ancient name is Svasti) is perceived by us as Perun’s Way or the Milky Way.

Any person who loves to look at the scattering of stars at night can see the constellation Swastika to the left of the constellation Mokosh (Ursa Major) (see below). It shines in the skies, but has been excluded from modern star maps and atlases.

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

The Legacy of the Ancestors brought the news that for many millennia the Slavs used Swastika symbols. There were 144 types of them: Swastika, Kolovrat, Posolon, Holy Dar, Svasti, Svaor, Solntsevrat, Agni, Fash, Mara; Inglia, Solar Cross, Solard, Vedara, Light, Fern Flower, Perunov Color, Swati, Race, Bogovnik, Svarozhich, Svyatoch, Yarovrat, Odolen-Grass, Rodimich, Charovrat, etc.

We could list more, but it would be better to briefly consider a few Solar Swastika symbols: their outline and figurative meaning.

Vedic symbols of the Slavic-Aryans and their meaning

Various variations of 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. In the runic alphabet, there were four runes depicting the Swastika elements:

Swastika symbols carry a huge secret meaning. They contain enormous Wisdom. Each Swastika symbol reveals to us a Great picture of the universe.

The Heritage 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 an open heart and a pure Soul.

Not for profit, but for knowledge!

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

A knowledgeable person will never say that the Swastika is a German or fascist symbol. Only foolish and ignorant people say this, because they reject what they are not able to understand and know, and also try to pass off what they want as reality.

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

Denial or distortion of the truth to please some disrupts the harmonious development of others. Even the ancient symbol of the Greatness of Fertility of the Mother of the Raw Earth, called in ancient times SOLARD, is considered by some incompetent people to be a fascist symbol. 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 RNE’s SOLARD is combined with the Star of Lada the Mother of God, where the Divine Forces (Golden Field), the Forces of the Primary Fire (red), the Heavenly Forces (blue) and the Forces of Nature (green) are united. The only difference between the original Mother Nature Symbol and the sign that RNE uses is the multi-colored nature of the Original Mother Nature Symbol and the two-colored one of Russian National Unity.

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

The oldest master of Khokhloma painting, Stepan Pavlovich Veseloye (1903-1993) from the village of Mogushino, Nizhny Novgorod region, following traditions, painted the Swastika on wooden plates and bowls, calling it “red rose”, the Sun, and explained: “It is the wind that shakes and moves a blade of grass.”

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

In the villages, girls and women still wear smart shirts and shirts for holidays, and men wear blouses embroidered with swastika symbols of various shapes. They bake lush loaves and sweet cookies, decorated on top with Kolovrat, Salting, Solstice and other Swastika patterns.

As mentioned earlier, before the onset of 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, many of the same people or their descendants are trying to ban any types 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 extremist activity.

For those who are not indifferent to the ancient Native Great Russian Culture, here are several typical patterns of Slavic embroidery of the 18th-20th centuries. On all enlarged fragments you can see Swastika symbols and ornaments for yourself.

The use of swastika symbols in ornaments in the Slavic lands is simply innumerable. 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 connecting “link between the Paleolithic, where it first appeared, and modern ethnography, which provides countless examples of swastika patterns in fabrics, embroidery and weaving.”

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

The Slavs used this Solar sign throughout their existence

The flow of lies and fabrications regarding the Swastika has filled 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”, indicating the first letters of the leaders of Nazi Germany: Hitler, Himmler, Goering and Goebbels (sometimes it is replaced by Hess ).

Listening to teachers, you 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 the 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 archaeological scientists.

Ancient thinkers said more than once: “Two troubles hinder human development: ignorance and ignorance.” Our Ancestors were knowledgeable and in charge, and therefore used various Swastika elements and ornaments in everyday life, considering them symbols of Yarila the Sun, Life, Happiness and Prosperity.

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

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

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

Do not destroy, at the whim of the ignorant 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 various versions of the Swastika have been painted on them for hundreds of years.

Everyone knows that the Slavic prince Prophetic Oleg nailed his shield to the gates of Constantinople (Constantinople), but few people 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 (Drawing of the shield of the Prophetic Oleg below).

Prophetic people, that is, those who have the gift of Spiritual Foresight and those who know the Ancient Wisdom that they 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 that was depicted on his clothes, weapons, armor and princely banner tells about this in all detailed images.

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

They believed in the Swastika as a talisman that “attracts” good luck and happiness. In Ancient Rus' it was believed that if you draw Kolovrat on your palm, you will definitely be lucky. Even modern students draw Swastikas on their palms before exams. Swastikas were also painted on the walls of the house so that happiness would reign there; this exists in Russia, Siberia, and India.

For those readers who wish to receive more information about the Swastika, we recommend the Ethno-religious essays of Roman Vladimirovich Bagdasarov “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!

Today, when many people hear the word “swastika,” they immediately think of 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 became widespread in Slavic culture, where many of its modifications existed. A synonym for the word “swastika” was the concept “solar”, that is, solar. Were there any differences in the swastika of the Slavs and the Nazis? And, if so, what were they expressed in?

First, let's remember what a swastika looks like. This is a cross, each of the four ends of which bends at right angles. Moreover, all angles are directed in one direction: to the right or to the left. Looking at such a sign, one gets the feeling of its rotation. 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 traffic (counterclockwise). But this is not all that distinguishes the swastika of Aryans and Aryans.

Another important distinguishing feature is the constancy of color and shape of the Fuhrer’s army badge. The lines of their swastika are quite wide, absolutely straight, and black. The underlying background is a white circle on a red canvas.

What about the Slavic swastika? Firstly, 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 both blue and yellow colors on some of the signs. Thirdly, the direction of movement. It was said earlier that among the Slavs it is the opposite of fascist. However, this is not quite true. We find both right-handed swastikas among the Slavs and left-handed ones.

We examined only the external distinctive attributes of the swastika of the Slavs and the swastika of the fascists. But much more important facts are the following:

• Approximate time of appearance of the sign.
• The meaning that was 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 separate from the Indo-European community, then, for sure, they were already used by them at that time (third-second millennium BC). Moreover, among the Proto-Slavs they were fundamental ornaments.

Swastika signs abounded in the everyday life of the Slavs. And therefore one cannot attribute the same meaning to all of them. In fact, each symbol was individual and carried its own meaning. By the way, the swastika could be either an independent sign or part of a more complex one (most often it was located in the center). Here are the main meanings of Slavic swastika (solar symbols):

• Sacred and Sacrificial fire.
• Ancient wisdom.
• Home.
• Unity of the Family.
• Spiritual development, self-improvement.
• Patronage of the gods in wisdom and justice.
• In the sign of Valkikria, it is a talisman of wisdom, honor, nobility, and 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 applied similar signs to their weapons, embroidered them on suits (clothing) and textile accessories (towels, towels), and carved them on elements of their homes and household items (dishes, spinning wheels and other wooden utensils). 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 we 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.

Fascist swastika

• Adolf Hitler himself adopted this sign as a symbol of the National Socialist movement. But we know that he was not the one who came 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, let’s take the time of appearance as the beginning of the twentieth century.

Interesting fact: the person who suggested that Hitler take the swastika as a symbol initially presented a left-handed 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.
• Where was the fascist swastika used? Firstly, on the legendary flag of the Third Reich. Secondly, the military had it on their belt buckles, as a patch on the sleeve. Thirdly, the swastika “decorated” official buildings and occupied territories. In general, it could be on any fascist attributes, but these were the most common.

Thus, the swastika of the Slavs and the swastika of the Nazis have enormous differences. This is expressed not only in external features, but also in semantic ones. If among the Slavs this sign personified something good, noble, and lofty, then among the Nazis it was a truly Nazi sign. Therefore, when you hear something about a swastika, you shouldn’t immediately think about fascism. After all, the Slavic swastika was lighter, more humane, more beautiful.
