𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦...

GoW (2018) and GoW: Ragnarök kinda impressed me so here I am crossing my hyperfixations. Again.

I was gifted with ability to draw, thus I can visualise whatever visits my mind🎉

(thinking about Taiju with beard...thinking...)

A large runestone was discovered hidden beneath the kitchen floor during a routine home renovation in Denmark. Could this extraordinary find reshape our understanding of the Viking era and reveal more of the distant past?

Swastika/Hakenkreuz/Sun wheel/Wān/Tetraskelion

Perhaps one of the most controversial symbols in Europe all the while one of the most important symbols of Buddhism is the Swastika.

The Swastika can be found all over the world through time. From Iranian prehistory to Scandinavian Air Forces in the 1930’s, Native American symbolism and Indian (Jain) religious virtue.

Generally associated with the sun because of the widespread use of the Sanskrit word Swastika (conduct to wellbeing) and is literally used as a symbol for the Sun (Surya)

The orientation and color of the swastika, along with additional decoration of the cross itself is reflective of the people who used it and the meaning they attested to it.

The symbol was used since prehistory, corresponding to mankind’s love for geometry. It is believed that the European use for the symbol is to portray the sun’s pathway across the sky.

Swastika’s have been found on Runic Stones, petroglyphs, brooches, woven fabrics, pendants, etc.

Many researchers have their own individual interpretations for the use of Swastika’s in Europe as they are the least clear in meaning than the rest of the world’s. An example of this is not just the visualization of the passing of the sun, but a stylized image of lightning/a thunderstorm, thus referring to Thor.

Found in: Snoldelev, Ramsø - Denmark. 9th Century A.D.
