Beautiful meaning Irminsul !

Could you expand on the four wings of the sun meaning?
Never heard it.

 

In the shield of the Sun is the power
The light of the Aryan knowledge
The four wings of the sun
The hope of spirits, and the strength of will
As proud ancient Gods stand by his side
Wotan raises his shield to protect me from the shine
Women and children
Old warriors
Stone statues
Cold eyes and bright eyes
The four wings of the sun
Feed my pride and will
Their shade that falls on the Earth
Paves the way of my dreams
The paths that I walk upon
Lead me through the darkness
There where my fate is; the warriors old faith
The earth hides the truth of past centuries within herself
I feel her breath and strength
Within her the spirits lay, which call upon us to fulfill our duty
The battle for souls will soon come to be
Runes will speak in ancient tongue
The Runes which wrote my path of life
The Gods look upon me, form their Golden thrones
Above their heads a bright symbol shines
The four wings of the Sun
The ancient Aryan sign
Wotan rises his shield
To protect me from the shine

 

Thank you, That seems to be a meaning of German Paganism origin.
Perhaps a prayer to god Wotan.

Thank you just the same Irminsul.

The best way to connect with these ancient gods is to in fact speak poetry to them. This is when they listen the most and also during rainy times will they often walk amongst the mortal world of men.

 

I think of WP

 

floor plan of the buddhist stupa which is a monument for relics and a place for meditation... intentionally resembles a swastika

When I see it I am reminded of the Tunguska explosion. Doesn't it kind of look like a bent up tree that has been hit with an atomic blast? That would be awesome!

 

why are people always trying to get a foot in the door to discount harm? before hitler it was an innocent enough symbol to denote buddhism and the location of buddhist temples on maps, and on many maps it still does.
but why else raise the topic? there is no racial superiority because there is no race. genocides are still committed. and as always, they come down to keeping people from seeing things that might inspire them to think out side boxes our economic masters would not have us to.

why the rectangular aspect? rectangularity once had the aesthetic of novelty, when all was nature and compound curves. but today, more people are surrounded by rectangles with 90 degree corners, then the flowing and convoluted curves of nature.

i'm one of those, perhaps odd, i prefer to think of it as natural, people, who do not find, destruction, in any way "awesome".

 

The Tunguska event of June 30, 1908 has been a topic of debate for over 75 years.

The theories range from a downed UFO to a nuclear accident some 37 years before the detonation at Trinity in the New Mexico desert. The most likely explanation is the simplest- an atmospheric explosion of a meteor or the nucleus of a comet

My first thought when I hear the word or see it aside from on a flag or arm band is....

I worked with a Columbian and he had a side job doing home repairs and installations. Sometimes he would ask me to help him paint. One house I helped with was an Indian family. While we were painting the mother went to her shrine and prayed or whatever indians do. The religious book she had next to the shrine had swastikas all over the cover.

....Anytime I see one now I think of that woman kneeling in front of her shrine.

My thoughts on it...maybe as a result of my experience is that people give the symbol too much power. If people didn't get so "offended" by it. The antisemitic asshats would stop spray painting it on temples and in front of Jewish deli's.

 

its a four pattern, and four is never a good number for me. i don't like rectangles and 90 degree corners.
six patterns also tile, but i like 9 based shapes best of all, even though they don't tile by themselves at all.
its a shame for anything to have gotten associated with what it has.
a lot of things will have to change in this world for it to ever again not to be.

once a symbol comes to mean being proud to hate,
its been robbed from whatever good or innocent things
it might have started out to represent.
