The origin of the swastika is an ancient symbol common in many cultures, whose name derives from the Sanskrit "svastika," meaning "well-being," "good fortune," or "prosperity." This symbol, representing cyclicity, movement, and prosperity, has been used since prehistoric times in Eurasia and the Americas, particularly in religious and ornamental contexts. However, in the 20th century, Nazism adopted it as a symbol of racial superiority, reversing its meaning and associating it with tyranny.

    Absolutely! When I go to Japan I always go to shrines and get talisman! They always have the swastika symbol on them and I have to explain it to several people that Nazism adopted it and it’s not what it means else wear. Almost all of the talisman always has it! Got prosperity, good fortune, and well being!
