“Signs and symbols rule the world, not words nor laws.” -Confucius

The most important and impactful symbol of the 20th century was the swastika. Its resurgence into the public consciousness was brought about through the rise of the NSDAP. Even after the seeming death of the “Nazi” regime, the symbol continues to retain its power, though it has been the target of a vicious smear campaign, as it is now associated with every evil imaginable in our judaized world.

As the secular power of the American flag, the British flag, the Soviet hammer and sickle, and the religious power of the Christian cross and the “Star of David” continue to wane, the swastika will rise from the ashes of recent history and once again inspire our folk. This ancient symbol united our people thousands of years ago, drew together disparate European folk again in the 20th century as they fought to slay the Red beast from the east, and will once again be a symbol around which the new Aryan folk rally in the 21st century, if only privately at first.

Many will argue that the symbol has been demonized beyond all repair, that it needs to be put aside as we make moderate appeals to the masses, and that we cannot fall into the trap of “Neo-Nazism,” but to neglect the swastika would be to handicap ourselves greatly.

Although it seems the NSDAP was able to bring the swastika to the forefront of the world’s attention, it could be argued that it was actually the swastika that brought about the rise of the NSDAP.

Excerpted from Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler, 1923:

The organization of our monitor troop clarified a very important question. Up till then the movement had no party insignia and no party flag. The absence of such symbols not only had momentary disadvantages, but was intolerable for the future…party comrades lacked any outward sign of their common bond…[Hitler then writes about how he attended a mass Marxist demonstration:] a sea of red flags, red scarves, and red flowers…I have, in our movement, always upheld the standpoint that it is a true good fortune for the German nation to have lost the old flag…from the bottom of our hearts we should thank Fate for having been gracious enough to preserve the most glorious war flag of all time from being used as a bedsheet for the most shameful prostitution. The present-day Reich, which sells itself and its citizens, must never be permitted to fly the black, white and red flag of honour and heroes… The question of the new flag – that is, its appearance – occupied us intensely in those days. From all sides came suggestions…the new flag had to be equally a symbol of our own struggle, since on the other hand it was expected also to be highly effective as a poster…an effective insignia can in hundreds of thousands of cases give the first impetus towards interest in a movement. For this reason we had to reject all suggestions of identifying our movement through a white flag with the old state…white is not a stirring colour. It is suitable for chaste virgins’ clubs, but not for world-changing movements in a revolutionary epoch. [other assessments of various colours also] I myself always came out for the retention of the old colours, not only because as a soldier they are to me the holiest thing I know…nevertheless, I was obliged to reject without exception the numerous designs which poured in…which for the most part had drawn the swastika into the old flag. I myself, meanwhile, after innumerable attempts, had laid down a final form; a flag with a red background, a white disk, and a black swastika in the middle. After long trials I also found a definite proportion between the size of the flag and the size of the white disk, as well as the shape and thickness of the swastika. And this remained final.

One could even view the famous flag of the Third Reich through the esoteric lens of alchemy, an occult science in which the black swastika represents the first stage (nigredo), the white circle represents the second stage (albedo), and the red rectangle represents the third stage (rubedo). Hitler transformed base material (the Weimar Republic) into gold (the Third Reich) in only 3 years.

Moving beyond choice of color, Ulric of England [eng97] deals with the subject of the swastika itself:

…what inspired Hitler to use the swastika as a symbol for the NSDAP was its use by the Thule-Gesellschaft [organization] since there were many connections between them and the DAP…from 1919 until the summer of 1921 Hitler used the special Nationalsozialistische library of Dr. Friedich Krohn, a very active member of the Thule-Gesellschaft,…Dr. Krohn was also the dentist from Sternberg who was named by Hitler in Mein Kampf as the designer of a flag very similar to one that Hitler designed in 1920…during the summer of 1920, the first party flag was shown at Lake Tegernsee…these home-made…early flags were not preserved, the Ortsgruppe München flag was generally regarded as the first flag of the Party.

The use of the swastika in German occult orders was part of a great revival, in which the folk started looking to their past for the inspiration that could lead them into a glorious future.

From Norse-Mythology.org:

Why did the National Socialist movement of early-to-mid-twentieth century Germany adopt the swastika of all symbols as its own central icon? During the Romantic period in the nineteenth century, the peoples of Europe took a great deal of interest in rediscovering their pagan heritage. Additionally, the English were fascinated by questions of what exactly made them English, the French were fascinated by questions of what exactly made them French, and so on. Perhaps nowhere were these trends more pronounced than in Germany. Nowhere else did they achieve the same level of cultural prominence and social organization, nowhere else did they become as explicitly nationalistic, and nowhere else did these tendencies last well into the twentieth century. In the early decades of the twentieth century, Germany was awash with so-called völkisch (often anglicized as “folkish”) groups, who combined a kind of ethnic nationalism with the “occult” spiritualism that was flourishing at the margins of society. The völkisch groups and the people who comprised them were a very diverse and dynamic bunch; some were relatively private and mostly focused on esoteric spiritual pursuits, while some were overtly political, with various and often competing agendas in that regard. What the völkisch groups generally had in common, however, was an insistence that the unifying forces of German ethnicity and cultural traditions were things to be celebrated, as well as a notion that looking to the past history of the German people provided clues to how Germans should live in the present day. The swastika is one of the oldest and most widespread of humanity’s symbols. It can be found on artifacts thousands of years old from several continents. While it was used by the Norse and other Germanic peoples from the beginnings of those societies, the swastika is far from just a Germanic symbol. It was one of the central symbols of Proto-Indo-European society, the society that gave rise to the Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, Greek, and Roman societies in Europe, as well as Hindu society in India, which accounts for its use by both ancient and modern-day Hindus and Buddhists. Nor was it an exclusively Indo-European symbol, however; it can also be found in the indigenous art of the American Indians, Sami, and plenty of other peoples across the world…

As it was used by the Germanic peoples, the swastika was so closely tied to two other symbols, the sunwheel and Thor’s hammer, that the three were practically interchangeable. The sunwheel (Old Norse sólarhvél), like the swastika, was found throughout the Indo-European world – that is, Bronze Age and Iron Age Europe and parts of Asia. Among the Celts, for example, the two symbols are generally found in the same archaeological context, occurring next to or in place of a depiction of a sky god in engravings and statues. This suggests two things: that the two symbols were seen to be synonymous – and indeed, their visual forms themselves would suggest that they’re simply variations on a common image – and that they had an especially close association with the solar and celestial powers. These same qualities are also found amongst the Germanic peoples. In runic inscriptions, which often included non-runic symbols, the sunwheel and swastika appear to have meant the same thing. As for the connection with a sky god, for the Norse the two symbols were hardly distinguishable from a third common symbol: the Mjöllnir or Thor’s hammer. Thor was the principal sky god of the Norse peoples during the Viking Age (having apparently taken over this role from Tyr over the course of the centuries). In the Norse tales, his hammer was used to defend the gods’ celestial stronghold, Asgard, from the giants, the forces of chaos, decay, and destruction. Ritualistically, the symbol of Thor’s hammer was used to consecrate and bless a marriage, a person, an endeavor, a piece of land, or anything else that one wanted to be protected by the forces of cosmic order and health against those of anti-cosmic chaos…

To protect the cosmic order of the folk from the anti-cosmic chaos of Communism, Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa (meaning, “red beard”), which has a direct tie-in to the God of Thunder, who is well-known for his bright red beard.

However, this red beard is often missing in representations of the deity, especially recently.

Again, we can see the connection between Thor’s hammer and the swastika.

Some might not immediately see how the symbols of Thor’s hammer and the swastika are visually related, but that is because the power of the hammer is really seen when it is spinning.

“Symbols can be so beautiful, sometimes.” -Kurt Vonnegut

These symbols are ours. They have great power to inspire social change, in particular the sun wheel (Celtic cross) and the swastika. They instill awe, fear, respect, and much more. As long as we allow our enemies to control the use and meaning of our sacred symbols, we are under their control. It’s time to awaken the power of our people, shake off the chains of our enslavement, and deal out some divine justice upon our enemies.
