“For thousands of years almost every race, tribe, and religion on earth has revered the Swastika, using it in a variety of shapes and styles, associating it with the hammer of Thor, the footprints of Buddha, the emblem of Shiva, Apollo, Jupiter, and even Jesus Christ. Scholars agree that for the first three hundred years of the infant Christian religion the Swastika was the only form of cross used in the catacombs and early churches.
How did the Swastika encircle the globe? Buddhism spread across the Orient taking the Swastika with it but powerful symbols of the sacred are often revealed to us in dreams. This would account for the many variations of the symbol, as far flung as the spiral Swastika tattoo mokas on the faces of Maori chieftains and the drums of the shaman in Lapland. Some say the Swastika started in Atlantis or Mu, the Motherland.
The most astonishing fact about the Swastika to those of us born since WW II is its widespread use during the Victorian era as a good luck sign. By the turn of the 20th century the Swastika was the coolest good luck sign ever seen in the west, showing up on buildings, clothing, jewelry, postcards, and household items in Sear's catalogue. It had been used for centuries by native Indians and now it caught on like wildfire! Rudyard Kipling, author of Just So Stories and Kim, used it as his personal coat of arms. A 1909 Detroit car named the Krit used it as a lucky hood ornament. The Dawn Patrol, or Lafayette Escadrille, WWI American volunteers flying with the French Air Force, had the Swastika as their symbol. Coca-Cola made a lucky Swastika watch fob in 1925. It was the sign of good coal for the Swastika Fuel Company in Raton, New Mexico and was on the label of Carlsberg beer.
Hitler chose the Swastika because of its popularity and was delighted by the inflammatory effect it had on everyone. How could he fail with the ancient good luck sign on his side? It became one of his magical weapons, adding an air of mysticism to the ”resurrection“ of Germany that he was supposedly undertaking. This led to the demise and dishonor of the good luck sign which is now the Western world's greatest bad luck sign! Now the Friends of the Swastika are restoring the Swastika to it's true meaning.”
