The swastika in Buddhism is an introduction to the original meaning of this symbol. What is a swastika? Did the Slavs have a swastika?

The swastika symbol is a cross with curved ends directed clockwise or counterclockwise. As a rule, now all Swastika symbols are called in one word - SWASTIKA, which is fundamentally wrong, because In ancient times, each Swastika symbol had its own name, Protective Power and figurative meaning.

During archaeological excavations, Swastika symbols were most often found on various details of architecture, weapons, clothing, and household utensils of many peoples of Eurasia. Swastika symbolism is found everywhere in ornamentation as sign of Light, Sun, Life. The oldest archaeological artifacts depicting the swastika date back to approximately 10-15 millennium BC. According to archaeological excavations, the richest territory in the use of the swastika, both a religious and cultural symbol, is Russia - neither Europe nor India can compare with Russia in the abundance of swastika symbols covering Russian weapons, banners, national costume, houses, everyday items and temples. Excavations of ancient mounds and settlements speak for themselves - many ancient Slavic settlements had a clear form of Swastika, oriented to the four cardinal directions. Swastika symbols denoted calendar signs back in the days of the Great Scythian Kingdom ( depicts a vessel from the Scythian Kingdom of 3-4 thousand BC.)

The swastika and Swastika symbols were the main and, one might even say, almost the only elements of the ancient pre-Slavic ornaments. But this does not mean at all that the Slavs and Aryans were bad artists. Firstly, there were a lot of varieties of images of Swastika symbols. Secondly, in ancient times, not a single pattern was applied just like that; each element of the pattern corresponded to a certain cult or protective (amulet) meaning.

But not only the Aryans and Slavs believed in the magical power of this pattern. This symbol was found 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.

Swastika in Beliefs and Religions

Swastika symbolism was a protective symbol among almost all peoples in Europe and Asia: among the Slavs, Germans, Pomors, Skalvi, Curonians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Mordovians, Udmurts, Bashkirs, Chuvash, Indians, Icelanders, Scots and many other peoples.

In many ancient Beliefs and religions, the Swastika is the most important and brightest cult symbol. Thus, in ancient Indian philosophy and Buddhism(pic. left: Buddha's Foot) The swastika is a symbol of the eternal cycle of the universe, a symbol of the Buddha's Law, to which all things are subject. (Dictionary “Buddhism”, M., “Republic”, 1992); V Tibetan Lamaism The swastika is a protective symbol, a symbol of happiness and a talisman. In India and Tibet, the Swastika is depicted everywhere: on the gates of temples, on every residential building, on the fabrics in which all sacred texts are wrapped, on funeral covers.

Lama Beru-Kinze-Rimpoche, in our time one of the greatest teachers of official Buddhism. The photograph shows the ritual of his creation of a ritual mandala, that is, pure space, in Moscow in 1993. In the foreground of the photograph is a thangka, a sacred image drawn on cloth, depicting the Divine space of the mandala. At the corners are Swastika symbols protecting the sacred Divine space.

As a religious symbol (!!!), the swastika has always been used by followers Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism in the East, Druids of Ireland, Scotland, Scandinavia, representatives Natural-religious denominations Europe and America in the West.

In Russia, Swastika symbols and elements are found among supporters of the Ancient Tribal and Vedic cults, as well as among the Orthodox Old Believers-Ynglings, professing the Faith of the First Ancestors - Ingliism, in the Slavic and Aryan communities of the Ancestral Circle and, wherever you think, among Christians…

Swastika on the shield of Prophetic Oleg

For many, many millennia, the Slavs used the Swastika symbol. Our Ancestors depicted this symbol on weapons, banners, clothing, and on household and religious objects. Everyone knows that the Prophetic Oleg nailed his shield to the gates of Constantinople (Constantinople), but few of the modern generation know what was depicted on the shield. However, descriptions of the symbolism of his shield and armor can be found in historical chronicles. Prophetic people, i.e., possessing the Gift of Spiritual Foresight and knowing the Ancient Wisdom that the Gods and Ancestors left to people, were endowed by the Priests with various symbols. One of these most notable people in history was the Slavic prince - Prophetic Oleg. In addition to being a prince and an excellent military strategist, he was also a Priest of High Initiation. The symbolism that was depicted on his clothes, weapons, armor and princely banner tells about this in all detailed images.
Fire 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 Faith. When the Prophetic Oleg nailed his shield with such symbolism to the gates of Constantinople, he wanted to figuratively, clearly show the insidious and two-faced Byzantines what another Slavic prince Alexander Yaroslavovich (Nevsky) would later explain to the Teutonic knights in words: “ Whoever comes to us with a sword will die by the sword! On this stood, stands, and will stand the Russian Land!»

Swastika on money and in the Army

Under Tsar Peter I, the walls of his country residence were decorated with swastika patterns. The ceiling of the throne room in the Hermitage is also covered with these sacred symbols.

At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, among the upper classes of European states in Western and Eastern Europe, as well as in Russia, Swastika(left) has become the most common and even fashionable symbol. This was influenced by the “Secret Doctrine” of H.P. Blavatsky and her Theosophical Society; The occult-mystical teachings of Guido von List, the German knightly Order of Thule and other spiritualist circles.

The common people, both in Europe and Asia, have used Swastika ornaments in everyday life for thousands of years, and only at the beginning of this century, interest in Swastika symbols appeared among those in power.

In young Soviet Russia sleeve patches Since 1918, the soldiers of the Red Army of the South-Eastern Front were decorated with a swastika, with the abbreviation R.S.F.S.R. inside. For example: the badge for command and administrative personnel was embroidered in gold and silver, but for the Red Army soldiers it was stenciled.

After the overthrow of the autocracy in Russia, the Swastika ornament appears on new banknotes of the Provisional Government, and after the coup of October 26, 1917, on Bolshevik banknotes.

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.

Beginning in 1918, the Bolsheviks introduced new banknotes in denominations of 1000, 5000 and 10000 rubles, on which not one Kolovrat was depicted, but three. Two smaller Kolovrat in the side ties are intertwined with large numbers 1000 and a large Kolovrat in the middle.

Money with the Swastika-Kolovrat was printed by the Bolsheviks and was in use until 1923, and only after the formation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics were they taken out of circulation.

In national: Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian costumes, on sundresses, towels and other things, Swastika symbolism was the main and, practically, the only one of the existing ancient amulets and ornaments, until the first half of the twentieth century.

Our ancestors loved to gather on the outskirts of the village one summer evening and listen to the lingering chants of dance... a swastika. There was an analogue of the symbol in Russian dance culture - the Kolovrat dance. At the festival of Perun, the Slavs drove, and still drive, round dances around two burning swastikas: “Fasha” and “Agni” laid out on the ground.

Swastika in Christianity

“Kolovrat” richly decorated churches in the Russian lands; it shone brightly on the sacred objects of the Ancient Solar Cult of the Ancestors; and also on the white robes of the Priests of the Old Faith. And even on the robes of Christian clergy in the 9th-16th centuries. Swastika symbols were depicted. They decorated the Images and Kummiras of the Gods, frescoes, walls, icons, etc.

For example, on the fresco depicting Christ Pantocrator - the Pantocrator, in the St. Sophia Cathedral of the Novgorod Kremlin, the so-called left and right Swastikas with short curved rays, and correctly “Charovrat” and “Salting” are placed directly on the chest of the Christian God, as symbols of the beginning and end of all things.

At the saint's rite in the St. Sophia Cathedral of the city of Kyiv, in the oldest Christian church built on the Russian land by Yaroslav the Wise, belts are depicted in which alternate: "Swastika", "Suasti" and straight Crosses. Christian theologians in the Middle Ages commented on this painting in the following way: “Swastika” symbolizes the first coming to the World of the Son of God Jesus Christ to save people from their sins; then the straight Cross - his earthly path, ending with suffering on Golgotha; and finally, the left Swastika - “Suasti”, symbolizes the resurrection of Jesus Christ and his second coming to Earth in Power and Glory.

In Moscow, in the Kolomna Church, the Beheading of John the Baptist, on the day of Tsar Nicholas II’s abdication from the throne, was discovered in the basement of the temple icon "Our Lady of Sovereign"(fragment on the left) on the headdress of the Christian Mother of God there is a Swastika Amulet symbol - “Fache”.

Many legends and rumors were invented about this ancient icon, for example: allegedly on the personal order of I.V. Stalin, a prayer service and religious procession were held on the front line, and thanks to this, the troops of the Third Reich did not take Moscow. Totally absurd. German troops did not enter Moscow for a completely different reason. Their road to Moscow was blocked by the people's militia and divisions of Siberians, filled with Spiritual Strength and Faith in Victory, and not by severe frosts, the leading force of the party and government, or some kind of icon. The Siberians not only repulsed all enemy attacks, but also went on the offensive and won the war, because the ancient principle lives in their hearts: “Whoever comes to us with a sword will die by the sword.”

In medieval Christianity, the Swastika also symbolized Fire and Wind.- the elements that embody the Holy Spirit. If the Swastika, even in Christianity, was truly considered a divine sign, then only unreasonable people can say that the Swastika is a symbol of fascism!
* For reference: Fascism in Europe existed only in Italy and Spain. And the fascists of these states did not have Swastika symbols. The swastika was used as a party and state symbol by Hitler’s Germany, which was not fascist, as it is interpreted now, but National Socialist. For those who doubt, read the article by I.V. Stalin "Hands off Socialist Germany." This article was published in the newspapers Pravda and Izvestia in the 30s.

Swastika as a talisman

Swatika was believed to be 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 houses so that happiness would reign there, in Russia, Siberia, and India.

In the Ipatiev House, where the family of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II was shot, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna painted all the walls with this divine symbol, but the Swastika did not help the Romanovs against the atheists; this dynasty did too much evil on Russian soil.

Nowadays, philosophers, dowsers and psychics offer build city blocks in the form of Swastikas- such configurations should generate positive energy, by the way, these conclusions have already been confirmed by modern science.

Origin of the word "Swastika"

The generally accepted name of the Solar symbol - Swastika, according to one version, comes from the Sanskrit word Suasti. Su- beautiful, kind, and asti- to be, that is, “Be good!”, or in our opinion, “All the best!” According to another version, this word has Old Slavic origin, which is more probable (which is confirmed by the archives of the Old Russian Ynglistic Church of the Orthodox Old Believers-Ynglings), since it is known that the Swastika symbolism in various variations, and its name, was brought to India, Tibet, China, and Europe by the ancient Aryans and Slavs. Tibetans and Indians still claim that the Swastika, this universal symbol of prosperity and happiness, was brought to them from the high northern mountains (Himalayas) by the White Teachers.

In ancient times, when our Ancestors used the X'Aryan Runes, the word Swastika ( see left) translated as Who Came from Heaven. Since Runa NVA meant Heaven (hence Svarog - Heavenly God), WITH— Rune of direction; Rune TIKA[last two runes] - movement, coming, flow, running. Our children still pronounce the word tick, i.e. to run, and we meet it in the words Arctic, Antarctic, mysticism, 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 Swastika, is perceived by us as Perun’s Way or the Milky Way.

The ancient names of Swastika symbols in Russia are mainly preserved in the everyday life of Orthodox Old Believers-Yinglings and Righteous Old Believers-schismatics. In the East, among the followers of the Vedic Faith, where the Ancient Wisdom is recorded in the Holy Scriptures in ancient languages: and Kh’Aryan. In Kh'Aryan writing they use Runes in the form of Swastika(see text on the left).

Sanskrit, more correctly Samskryt(Samskrita), i.e. An independent secretive, used by modern Indians, originated from the ancient language of the Aryans and Slavs, it was created as a simplified version of the X'Aryan Karuna, for the preservation of the Ancient Vedas by the inhabitants of Dravidia (ancient India), and therefore ambiguous interpretations of the origin of the word “Swastika” are now possible, but after reading The materials presented in this article, a smart person, whose consciousness has not yet been completely filled with false stereotypes, will be convinced of the undoubted ancient Slavic and ancient Aryan, which is actually the same thing, origin of this word.

If in almost all foreign languages ​​various designs of the Solar Cross with curved rays are called by one word Swastika - “Swastika”, then in the Russian language there were and still exist for various variants of Swastika symbols 144 (!!!) titles, which also speaks about the country of origin of this Solar symbol. For example: Swastika, Kolovrat, Posolon, Holy Gift, Svasti, Svaor, Svaor-Solntsevrat, Agni, Fash, Mara; Inglia, Solar Cross, Solard, Vedara, Light Flyer, Fern Flower, Perunov Color, Swati, Race, Godman, Svarozhich, Yarovrat, Odolen-Grass, Rodimich, Charovrat etc. Among the Slavs, depending on the color, length, direction of the curved ends of the Solar Cross, this symbol was called differently and had different figurative and protective meanings (see).

Swastika Runes

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.

Runa Fash– had a figurative meaning: a powerful, directed, destructive Fire flow (thermonuclear fire)…
Rune Agni– had figurative meanings: the Sacred Fire of the hearth, as well as the Sacred Fire of Life located in the human body and other meanings...
Rune Mara– had a figurative meaning: the Ice Flame protecting the Peace of the Universe. The rune of transition from the World of Revealing to the World of Light Navi (Glory), incarnation in the New Life... Symbol of Winter and Sleep.
Rune England– had the figurative meaning of the Primary Fire of Creation of the Universe, from this Fire many different Universes and various forms of Life appeared...

Swastika symbols carry a huge secret meaning. They contain enormous Wisdom. Each Swastika symbol reveals to us a Great picture of the universe. Ancient Slavic-Aryan Wisdom says that our galaxy is shaped like a Swastika and is called SVATI, and the Yarila-Sun system, in which our Midgard-Earth makes its way, is located in one of the branches of this Heavenly Swastika.

Knowledge of Ancient Wisdom does not accept a stereotypical approach. The study of ancient symbols, Runic writings and ancient Traditions must be approached with an open heart and a pure Soul. Not for profit, but for knowledge!

Is the swastika a fascist symbol?

Swastika symbols in Russia were used not only by the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks for political purposes; much earlier than them, representatives of the Black Hundred began to use the Swastika. Now, Swastika symbols are used by Russian National Unity. A knowledgeable person never says 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 the Fertility of the Mother of the Raw Earth, called in ancient times - SOLARD (see above), and now used by the Russian National Unity, is considered by some incompetent people to be German-fascist symbols, a symbol that appeared many hundreds of thousands of years before the emergence of German National Socialism. At the same time, it does not even take into account the fact that SOLARD in the Russian National Unity is combined with the eight-pointed Star of Lada-Virgin Mary (image 2), where the Divine Forces (Golden Field), the Forces of the Primary Fire (red), the Heavenly Forces (blue) and the Forces of Nature (green) came together. The only difference between the original Symbol of Mother Nature and the sign that is used by the social movement “Russian National Unity” is the multicolored nature of the Original Symbol of Mother Nature and the two-colored one of the representatives of Russian National Unity.

Swastika – feather grass, hare, horse...

Ordinary people had their own names for Swastika symbols. In the villages of the Ryazan province it was called “ feather grass" - the embodiment of the Wind; on Pechora " hare“- here the graphic symbol was perceived as a piece of Sunlight, a ray, a sunbeam; 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-Solarniks 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 Veselov (1903-1993) from the village of Mogushino, Nizhny Novgorod region, observing traditions, painted the Swastika on wooden plates and bowls, calling it “ saffron milk cap“, the Sun, and explained: “It’s the wind that shakes and moves the blade of grass.” In the above fragments you can see Swastika symbols even on such household appliances used by Russian people as a spinning wheel and a cutting board.

In the village, to this day, on holidays, women wear elegant sundresses and shirts, and men wear blouses embroidered with swastika symbols of various shapes. They bake lush loaves and sweet cookies, decorated on top with Kolovrat, Posolon, Solstice and other swastika patterns.

Prohibition of the use of Swastikas

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 the enemies of the Aryans and Slavs in the second half of the 20th century, 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; Ancient Faith and Folk Traditions; The true History, undistorted by the rulers, and the long-suffering Slavic People themselves, the bearer of the ancient Slavic-Aryan Culture.

And even now, in the government and locally, many officials are trying to ban any types of rotating Solar crosses - in many ways the same people, or their descendants, but using different pretexts: if earlier this was done under the pretext of class struggle and anti-Soviet conspiracies, then now they are opponents of everything Slavic and Aryan, called fascist symbols and Russian chauvinism.

For those who are not indifferent to ancient Culture, there are several (a very small number of pictures, due to the limitation of the article’s volume) typical patterns in Slavic embroidery; in all enlarged fragments you can see the Swastika symbols and ornaments for yourself.

The use of swastika symbols in ornaments in the Slavic lands is simply innumerable. 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. At the same time, they completely forgot (?!) that fascism, as a political and state system in Europe, existed only in Italy and Spain, where the Swastika symbol was not used. The swastika, as a party and state symbol, was adopted only in National Socialist Germany, called the Third Reich at that time.

The Slavs used this Solar sign throughout their entire existence (according to the latest scientific data, this is at least 15 thousand years), and the President of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler, for only about 25 years. The flow of lies and fabrications regarding the Swastika has filled the cup of absurdity. “Teachers” in modern schools, lyceums and gymnasiums in Russia teach children complete nonsense that the Swastika and any Swastika symbol are German fascist crosses, made up of four letters “G”, denoting the first letters of the leaders of Nazi Germany: Hitler, Himmler, Goering and Goebbels (sometimes replaced by Hess). Listening to such “teachers”, one 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 are used by peoples, which has been confirmed by archaeological scientists over the past 5-6 thousand years. And now, out of ignorance, people who have been trained by Soviet “teachers” are wary and sometimes even aggressive towards a person wearing ancient Slavic amulets or mittens with the image of Swastika symbols, a sundress or a shirt with Swastika embroidery. It was not for nothing that ancient thinkers said: “ Human development is hampered by two evils: 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.

Only narrow-minded and ignorant people can denigrate everything pure, bright and good 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, on the Kumirs of the Light Gods and the Images of the Many-Wise Ancestors, as well as on the oldest Christian icons of the Mother of God and Christ. Do not destroy, at the whim of the ignorant and Slav-haters, the so-called “Soviet staircase”, and the 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.

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!

Message quote The swastika is the oldest Slavic symbol

character "卐" or "卍", Skt.. स्वस्तिक from स्वस्ति svasti- greeting, wish of good luck, prosperity) - a cross with curved ends (“rotating”), directed either clockwise or counterclockwise. - THE SWASTIKA HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH FASCISM UNTIL 1941

The Swastika was popular among the Slavic peoples, undoubtedly the most prosperous in the ancient world. The possession of the most extensive and rich lands and a numerous population are the heritage of this prosperity. The swastika accompanied the Slavs from the first to the last day of their lives, emblazoned on amulets, clothing, cradles, religious objects and buildings, weapons, banners, coats of arms, etc. It takes its form from the most global, most impressive human substance - cosmic, copying the profile of galaxies (our galaxy is named Swati), comets and the trajectory of the polar constellation - Ursa Minor.

The swastika reflects the main type of movement in the Universe - rotational with its derivative - translational, can symbolize any philosophical categories and, most importantly - don't let yourself be offended .

Therefore, the Slavs used at least 144 varieties of Swastika. Here are some of them followed by a brief description:

The variety of Swastikas is especially great in the Russian North. In addition to the natural Slavic predisposition to all-round purity, his desire for the swastika was strengthened by his geographical location. The Swastika most accurately depicts the northern sun rolling along the horizon. No wonder the elderly people of the Russian North were especially perplexed about the persecution of Swastika that began before the Great Patriotic War. Here are some examples of the use of Swastikas in the ornaments of the Russian North:

The swastika, of course, is a weapon, but one should not give up the weapon because it ended up in the hands of the enemy(?), especially since they turned out to be the genetic brothers of the Slavic peoples. And oblivion of the most vital symbol - the Swastika - leads to oblivion of the very life principle:practice is the criterion of Truth.

Slavic swastika, its significance for us should be the subject of special attention. Confusing the fascist swastika and the Slavic one is possible only with complete ignorance of history and culture. A thoughtful and attentive person knows that the swastika was not originally a “brand” of Germany during the times of fascism. Today, not all people remember the true history of the origin of this sign. And all this thanks to the global tragedy of the Great Patriotic War, which thundered across the Earth under the standard of the subordinate swastika (enclosed in an unbroken circle). We need to understand what this swastika symbol was in Slavic culture, why it is still revered, and how today we can apply it in practice. We remember that the Nazi swastika is prohibited in Russia.

Archaeological excavations on the territory of modern Russia and in its neighboring countries confirm that the swastika is a much older symbol than the emergence of fascism. Thus, there are finds with images of the solar symbol dating back to 10,000-15,000 years before our era. Slavic culture is replete with numerous facts, confirmed by archaeologists, that the swastika was used by our people everywhere.

vessel found in the Caucasus

The Slavs still preserved the memory of this sign, because embroidery patterns are still passed on, as well as ready-made towels, or homespun belts and other products. The photo shows belts of the Slavs from different regions and dates.

By looking up old photographs and drawings, you can verify that the Russians also widely used the swastika symbol. For example, the image of swastikas in a laurel wreath on money, weapons, banners, and sleeve chevrons of Red Army soldiers (1917-1923). The honor of the uniform and the solar symbol at the center of the symbolism were one.

But even today you can find both direct and stylized swastikas in the architecture preserved in Russia. For example, let's take only one city, St. Petersburg. Take a closer look at the mosaic on the floor of St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg, or the Hermitage, at the forged vignettes, and the sculpting on buildings along many of the streets and embankments of this city.

Slavic swastika - meaning and significance

The Slavic swastika is an equilateral cross, the ends of which are equally bent in one direction (sometimes along the movement of the clock hands, sometimes against). When bending, the ends on the four sides of the figure form a right angle (straight swastika), and sometimes sharp or obtuse (oblique swastika). A symbol was depicted with pointed and rounded ends.

Such symbols may mistakenly include a double, triple (“triskelion” with three rays, the symbol of Zervan - the god of space and time, fate and time among the Iranians), eight-rayed (“kolovrat” or “rotary”) figure. It is incorrect to call these variations swastikas. Our Slavic ancestors perceived each symbol, even if it was somewhat similar to another, as a force that had its own separate purpose and function in Nature.

Our dear ancestors gave the meaning to the swastika as follows - the movement of forces and bodies in a spiral. If this is the sun, then the sign showed vortex currents in the celestial body. If this is the Galaxy, the Universe, then the movement of celestial bodies in a spiral within the system around a certain center was understood. The center is, as a rule, “self-luminous” light (white light that has no source).

Slavic swastika in other traditions and peoples

In ancient times, our ancestors of Slavic families, along with other peoples, revered swastika symbols not only as amulets, but also as signs of sacred meaning. They helped people get in touch with the gods. Thus, in Georgia they still believe that the rounded corners in the swastika mean nothing more than the infinity of movement throughout the entire Universe.

The Indian swastika is now inscribed not only on the temples of various Aryan gods, but is also used as protective symbolism in household use. This sign is drawn before entering a home, painted on dishes, and used in embroidery. Modern Indian fabrics are still produced with designs of rounded swastika symbols, similar to a blooming flower.

Near India, in Tibet, Buddhists are no less respectful of the swastika, drawing it on statues of Buddha. In this tradition, the swastika means that the cycle in the Universe is endless. In many ways, even the whole law of the Buddha is based on this, as recorded in the dictionary “Buddhism”, Moscow, ed. "Republic", 1992 Back in the days of Tsarist Russia, the emperor met with Buddhist lamas, finding much in common in the wisdom and philosophy of the two cultures. Today, lamas use the swastika as a sign of protection against evil spirits and demons.

The Slavic swastika and the fascist one differ in that the first is not included in a square, circle or any other outline, while on the Nazi flags we observe that the figure is most often located in the center of a white circle-disk located on a red field. The Slavs never had the desire or purpose to place the sign of any God, Lord or power in a closed space.

We are talking about the so-called “subordination” of the swastika so that it “works” for those who use it arbitrarily. There is an opinion that after A. Hitler drew attention to this symbol, a special witchcraft ritual was performed. The motive of the ritual was the following - to begin to rule the entire world with the help of heavenly powers, subjugating all peoples. The sources are silent as to how true this is, but many generations of people were able to see what could be done with the symbol and how to denigrate it and use it to their advantage.

Swastika in Slavic culture - where it is used

Among the Slavic peoples, the swastika is found in different signs, which have their own names. In total, there are 144 species of such names today. The following variations are popular among them: Kolovrat, Charovrat, Posolon, Inglia, Agni, Svaor, Ognevik, Suasti, Yarovrat, Svarga, Rasich, Svyatoch and others.

In the Christian tradition, swastikas are still used to depict various saints on Orthodox icons. An attentive person will see such signs on mosaics, paintings, icons, or a priest’s robe.

Small swastikas and double swastikas depicted on the robe of Christ Pantocrator Pantocrator - a Christian fresco of the St. Sophia Cathedral of the Novgorod Kremlin.

Today, swastika symbols are used by those Slavs who continue to honor the horses of their ancestors and remember their Native Gods. So, to celebrate the day of Perun the Thunderer, there are round dances around swastika signs laid out (or inscribed) on the ground - “Fash” or “Agni”. There is also the well-known dance “Kolovrat”. The magical meaning of the sign was passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, understanding Slavs today can freely wear amulets with swastika signs and use them as talismans.

The swastika in Slavic culture was perceived differently in different places in Russia. For example, on the Pechora River, residents called this sign “hare,” perceiving it as a sunbeam, a ray of sunlight. But in Ryazan - “feather grass”, seeing in the sign the embodiment of the element of wind. But the people also felt the fiery power in the sign. Thus, the names “solar wind”, “Ognivtsy”, “Ryzhik” (Nizhny Novgorod region) are found.

The concept of “swastika” was transformed into a semantic meaning - “that which came from Heaven.” Here are contained: “Sva” - Heaven, Svarga Heavenly, Svarog, rune “s” - direction, “tika” - running, movement, the arrival of something. Understanding the origin of the word "Suasti" ("Svasti") helps determine the strength of the sign. “Su” - good or beautiful, “asti” - to be, to remain. In general, we can summarize the meaning of the swastika - “Be kind!”.

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.

Currently, many people associate the swastika with Hitler and the Nazis. This opinion has been hammered into our heads for the last 70 years.

Few people remember now that in the period from 1917 to 1923, the swastika symbol was depicted on Soviet money as a state-legalized symbol, and also that at that time, on the sleeve patches of officers and soldiers of the Red Army, there was also its image in a laurel wreath, inside of which the letters R.S.F.S.R. were written. The swastika of the Slavs and the Nazis has differences, but they are very similar. There is even an opinion that Kolovrat (see its description below) was given to Adolf Hitler as a party symbol by Stalin himself in 1920. Many speculations and legends have accumulated around this ancient symbol. Few people remember that our ancestors actively used it. After reading this article, you will find out what the swastika means among the Slavs, as well as where it is used and by whom else, besides the Slavs, it is used.

What exactly is a swastika?

A swastika is a rotating cross, the ends of which are curved and directed either counterclockwise or clockwise. Now, as a rule, all symbols of this type around the world are called the general word “swastika”. However, this is fundamentally wrong. Indeed, in ancient times, the swastika symbol had its own name, as well as a figurative meaning, protective power and purpose.

The word “swastika” itself, according to the “modern version,” allegedly came to us from Sanskrit. It means "prosperity". That is, we are talking about an image in which there is a strong positive charge. An amazing coincidence, but the Milky Way galaxy has a swastika shape, as well as a strand of human DNA, if viewed from the end. Just imagine that this one word simultaneously contains the entire essence of the macro- and microworld! That is why the overwhelming majority of the symbols of our ancestors are swastika.

The oldest swastika

As the oldest symbol, swastika symbolism is found most often in various archaeological excavations. It was found more often than other symbols on the ruins of ancient settlements and cities, in burial mounds. Swastika symbols, in addition, were depicted on weapons, architectural details, household utensils and clothing among many peoples of the world. It is found everywhere in ornamentation as a symbol of the Sun, Light, Life, Love. Even an interpretation has appeared in the West that it should be understood as an abbreviation consisting of four letters that begin with the Latin L: Luck - “happiness, luck, fate”, Life - “life”, Light - “sun, light”, Love - "Love".

Nowadays, the oldest archaeological artifacts on which this image can be seen approximately date back to the 4th-15th millennium BC. The richest (based on materials from various archaeological excavations) in the use of both cultural, everyday and religious purposes of the swastika is Siberia and Russia in general.

What does the swastika mean among the Slavs?

Neither Asia, nor India, nor Europe can compare with our country in the abundance of swastika symbols covering banners, weapons, national costumes, agricultural and household items, household utensils, as well as temples and houses. Excavations of settlements, cities and ancient mounds speak for themselves. Many Slavic cities in ancient times had a clear swastika shape. It was oriented to the four cardinal directions. These are cities such as Vendogard, Arkaim and others.

The swastikas of the Slavs were the main and even almost the only elements of the pre-Slavic ancient ornaments. However, this does not mean that our ancestors were bad artists. After all, the swastikas of the Slavs were very numerous and varied. In addition, not a single pattern in ancient times was simply applied to any object, since each element of it had a talismanic (protective) or cult meaning. That is, the swastikas of the Slavs had mystical powers. And our ancestors knew about this.

People, having united mystical forces together, created a favorable atmosphere around their loved ones and themselves, in which it was easier to create and live. Paintings, stucco moldings, carved patterns, and carpets woven by hardworking hands cover swastika patterns.

Swastikas among other peoples

Not only the Slavs and Aryans believed in the mystical power that these images possessed. Similar symbols were found on clay vessels from Samarra, located in modern Iraq. They date back to the 5th millennium BC. e.

In dextrorotatory and laevorotatory forms, swastika symbols are also found in the Indus River basin (Mohenjo-Daro, pre-Aryan culture), as well as in ancient China around 2000 BC. e.

Archaeologists have found in northeast Africa a funeral stele that existed in the 2nd-3rd centuries AD. e. kingdom of Meroe. The fresco depicts a woman entering the afterlife. At the same time, a swastika is emblazoned on her clothes.

The rotating cross is also decorated with weights for scales made of gold, which belonged to the inhabitants of Ghana (Ashanta); ancient Indian clay utensils, beautiful carpets woven by the Celts and Persians.

Variety of swastikas

Man-made belts created by Russians, Komi, Lithuanians, Latvians, themselves and other peoples also have swastika symbols. Today it is difficult even for an ethnographer to figure out which people these ornaments can be attributed to.

Use of the swastika

Vedic symbols (in particular swastikas) were used by the Rus in architecture and urban planning, depicted on clay and wooden utensils, on the facades of huts, on women's jewelry - rings, temple rings, icons, family coats of arms, and pottery. However, the swastikas of the Slavs found the greatest use in decorating household items and clothing, and were widely used by embroiderers and weavers.

There are many tablecloths, towels, valances (that is, strips of fabric with lace or embroidery that are sewn to the long edge of the sheet, so that the valance hangs above the floor when the bed is made, remaining open), belts, shirts, in the ornaments of which the swastika was used.
