Racist Viking Symbols? + Original Meanings

[@blatman5653]

I'm half Japanese, and I find it funny that many white people I met is so anti European culture because they think European culture is racist due to colonialism and etc, yet at the same time, these same White people LOVES Asian culture so much. They loved Chinese, Japanese and etc. Comes up to me, and glorify how beautiful Japanese cultures are, and that they claim white people don't have culture, and even if they do, its racist. And I'm like... such pathetic hypocrite aren't they. Did they forgot what Japanese did in WW1 and 2? Did they forgot what kind of leadership China have throughout history? Why is it only the white that gets the hate if every race of every culture had done terrible things in the past and why is it now Asian culture become a thing? Suddenly everyone is into Japanese, Chinese and Korean culture. I remember back in the days people hate anime and the people who watches it, but now, everyone is watching anime. Not to mention Korean as well. Back then nobody knows Korea, but now everybody knows Kpop and even glorify Korean movie. Years ago, I remember people would literally insult that you're gay and lesbian in such derogatory term because you watched Kpop, but now, everyone fucking comes out as part of LGBTQ. WTF happened.

[@jokemon9547]

Finland's Air Force logo (which has been changed recently, although the Air Force Academy still has it) was adopted in 1918, since the man who gave Finland it's first military planes used the symbol as a family good luck charm. Some try to say this still makes the Finnish logo related to the Nazis, since the man, Eric Von Rosen, was involved in some racial "science" before 1918 (which wasn't uncommon at the time and even in the 19th century, Finns were classified as "Asian" according to these studies into race) and because of his connections and involvement to the Nazis after 1918. That reasoning however, is total nonsense in trying to connect the Finnish swastika to the Nazis. Not to mention that swastika-like symbols such as hannunvaakuna or tursaansydän have been used in Finland for way longer with preserved use of the symbol dating back 1000 years and likely more.

If I may, sun wheel.... Oldest symbol in history. When symbols were written language. It started out meaning earth to the Sumarians. Later, it was more of a solar symbol, dividing the seasons and solstice and equinox. A multi purpose tool symbol for an agricultural people. (By the way, the Teutonic cross, or the "iron cross" is a variation of the solar sign of solstice and equinox.) I don't know how or why the 12 "sig" design was labeled the black sun. Only that it was associated with the Nazi's. The "black sun" in early ancient astronomy is what pagans call the sun when it sets below the equator. The Annunaki created the zodiacal calander. Dividing the earth by the equator, and the north and south 30th parallels. The sun set below the 30th parallel, that's the black sun. By the way, there are 12 sig runs making up the black sun. These represent the 12 houses of the zodiac.

Its name in persian is gardun-e-mehr, literally meaning the wheel of sun(ironic because the sun wheel symbol can also be found in our culture but we gave its name to swastika somehow).

Also, there is apparently no evidence that Himmler was responsible for incorporating the modern version in Wewelsburg castle.

The runes resemble the roman alphabet letters SS so the "Schutz Staffel" or Protective Squadron adopting them is kind of a no-brainer IMO. On the Hooked Cross, the Finnish Air Force had been using it since 1918. They finally gave in to pressure 2 years ago to forsake the desecrated symbol. Hitler's thousand-year Reich was a total bust, but it soiled a part of our shared history that was at minimum 7000 years old. It is suspected to have originated even earlier in pre-history.

Slavic Kolovrat can be considered a variant of the “original” swastika and it shares the latter’s solar symbolism. It is an attribute of the Slavic solar deity, Svarog , appropriately represented by the cyclic shape of the motif. The movement of the sun is indicated by the rotation of the symbol’s rays which look as if they’re spinning. Etymology of the world, which would translate as the “rotating circle” confirms this visual impression. The number of kolovrat’s rays differs, but they are all arched at the top. Some of those arches are directed clockwise and others counter-clockwise. There are various interpretations of kolovrat apart from it being the sun symbol. For example, it is believed that it stands for the eternal cycle of life and death. Contemporary neo-pagan movements ascribe elaborate interpretations to the kolovrat, and frequently apply the symbol to various items during Maslenitsa festival and to little statues known as “polovetskie baby”. In addition, several geographical locations (in Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia) bear the name “Kolovrat”. It also functions as a surname, especially among the Czech people.

There have been found many sun wheels, each with a different amount of "spokes." I think the Nazi SS sunwheel had a different number of spokes from the ancient versions, but those ancient ones had all different amounts of spokes too and looked very similar to the one the Nazis used.

[@skidaddleskidoodle595]

@@HroduuulfSonOfHrodger I'm curious as to what the differing number of "spokes" mean, if anything. I've seen ancient metal sunwheels with 5, 9, or 12 of them, the last matching up with the "modern" symbol we were talking about. As for the number 9, I know that's a recuring number in the norse sagas, so there might be a connection there at least.

[@justathought7221]

Thank you so much for this. The symbol you have on here from my religion is about peace. So I greatly thank you for this so much🙏🏼

[@search4truth104]

The symbol is also a Navajo Indian design showing the 4 seasons. There are buildings here in New Mexico that have it incorporated into the building.

[@MFGsoul]

Maybe someone already thought this but I think that the sun wheel is a representation of the 4 seasons. Maybe it's a way to describe the weather changing during the year and all the various occurrences that comes to life in the various seasons.

[@toravnerflyr6911]

I appreciate your clear headed handling of this topic. I don't quite get why proto-germanic letters and symbols are racist. It's cultural and historical in this group. Nor do I understand why people are making value judgements against social norms that existed in the past. People need to get in through their heads that no one point in the past will conform to present social norms. If you expect this, you are living in a fantasy world where you imagine and fetishize paganism based on your present perceptions, not reality and most of those are based off Hollywood. Why did the National Socialists use pagan symbols? Because it's related to their cultural group, just like it's related to their cultural group if they weren't Nazis.. Note that there are Christian Nationalists., Islamic Fundamentalists that don't like particular religious sects or ethic groups. Denouncing runes and symbols is denouncing the cultural, history and religion of Germanic and Indo-European people. If Runes are evil, then you need to accept the Latin Alphabet is just as evil. If you choose to believe Germanic symbols are evil, that's your problem.

[@wulfshead]

Best video you’ve done in ages! Thank you for keeping it short and sweet and explains exactly what these symbols mean. I hate that we can’t wear or show these symbols without fear of persecution from the uneducated and the woke brigade. There is nothing but positivity in (the majority) of these symbols and it really is about time they were understood for what they really are! I am English and am an AS heathen. I wore a Fylfot pin on my jacket for years, but after getting so much abuse and negative feedback and looks when seen out with it, I eventually took it of as I was getting so upset by the persecution and total misunderstanding of its meaning. You only have to look at people like Okoi Jones from the band Bölzer to see how badly misrepresented these symbols are in this day and age. It’s very sad really.

[@HroduuulfSonOfHrodger]

But we can wear these symbols and should never fear anyone. This was the Germanic tribal Warrior Ethos. We stared down the Roman Empire, the mightiest empire ever known, and we won! They never took all our lands. We were the only tribe I know who could stand up to Rome. We don't need to be "racist" or hate anyone, but we also should never put up with their woke BS. Wear your mjolnir and your runes. Even wearing a swastika could lead to an educational conversation on the origin and true meaning, separate from Nazi Germany. But those Germans were my brothers and sisters. I am mostly Germanic. Blond hair, blue eyes, the whole 9. I am superior to no one. But no one is superior to me, either! That is the equality that they seek.

I am Half Frisian, Half Melanesian (black pacific Islander) which makes me a copperskinned Giant and 100% a proud person of the Seas. I have done much research into both my ancestral roots. The truth is so much deeper than many realize - however the problem is those that think they can actually use hate to form unity by opposing a common enemy, which often results in extreme xenophobia and false supremacist feelings towards those who look "other", people who enjoy this sense of power by abusing these symbols and inciting hatred. They shit on the runes and totems of our ancestors sadly that hold deep meaning. I have faced discrimination from both sides btw for being too black or too white, both however were also often reluctant to directly confront me because of my size. limagine that 😂

[@garyl.bowman7705]

How do you find the racist in a group? Listen to the one talking about racism and you will have found your racist.

[@garyl.bowman7705]

Your comment doesn’t have anything to do with the statement I made. However, I did find your comment extremely disoriented, naïve, and completely misunderstanding what racism really is. Racism comes from hate. Recognizing differences between different racial groups is not racism. Acting on the knowledge of those differences creates hate And cannot be used in any way for a good or to avoid trouble.

My Girlfriend is Cantonese, my heritage is Norwegian, we learn from eachother, and enjoy viking movies and Hong Kong action movies, and Canto food (scandi food is trash) the key is just enjoying things and not hating or disrespecting people for what they enjoy but also letting people have their thing and not co opting or changing it to suit your own modern lifestyle.

Odelsret got abolished in 1926 in Denmark, in tact with general modernizations, and lease protections. Basically leaser can not be removed if they have lived or utilized lands for specific period. This was to stop monopolies of large land owners in Denmark, instead encouraging leaser and owners to unionize.

The earliest known swastika is from 10,000 BCE - part of "an intricate meander pattern of joined-up swastikas" found on a late paleolithic figurine of a bird, carved from mammoth ivory, found in Mezine, Ukraine. It has been suggested that this swastika may be a stylised picture of a stork in flight.[63] As the carving was found near phallic objects, this may also support the idea that the pattern was a fertility symbol.[64] en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

[@KishinAsura6666]

You see, I discovered viking music a few months back or so (thank you Wardruna and Heilung) and decided to research a lot of runes, symbols, etc because I draw and making a drawing that has a viking shield, axes, a viking's head that has half of its skull showing and was going to write in either elder or younger futhark "Vikings live forever". Then came across other symbols like the swastikas' that meant in Viking times Luck and Sanctity, other times meaning other stuff as well. Normally carved onto something for luck or sanctity and thought to myself should I use it on my drawing? Since most likely they did use it on swords, shields, boats, etc to give their warriors luck in battle during the time. This video literally clarifies that literally this symbol isn't racist but the wrong people used it to make it offensive. Would I get it as a tattoo? No. Would I carve it onto a weapon for luck? Yes. So pretty much all these symbols arent even offensive in my opinion, but was victims of an unfortunate misuse from the nazis. I enjoy learning this type of stuff and it opens eyes up more once they learn the true meaning of all of these symbols. Also I think Ty was also meant for Warrior??? dont remember but I know power was Odin's spear. Love this channel already and it helps me further my education on viking related stuff.
