STOLEN and TARNISHED Pagan Symbols

Pagan symbols are often ancient and meaningful, and often hold positive meanings.
But many have been misappropriated over time, assigned meanings vastly different from their original intent. These misappropriations can lead to significant misunderstandings and controversies around these symbols. Let’s take a look at some pagan symbols that have been misappropriated, stolen, and tarnished.

Reclaim and use them all. Magick is for everyone

[@phil7144]

That's what I'm saying.

[@Eminovici]

There are many other symbols that could have been mentioned too. Also STOLEN means taking something that wasn't previously yours. In the case of European symbols, it is our blood right to use them. And TARNISHED are the actions of our enemies who say that out ancestral symbols are symbols of hate. It's actually their hatred for these symbols that it's been turned into legislation.

[@arcadealchemist]

sounds a lot like when a people want to be tribal it's not ok Unless you're part of say a group that can tell others to not be a "dehumanizing slur"

[@Warlanda]

I really like your channel, but the info on this one is questionable as are your sources. not every video can be a banger, I get it, but look beyond surface level as to the 'how' and 'whys' on this topic. many blessings to you

[@micksmixxx]

Thank you for uploading this video. This must be amongst the first video that I've viewed that correctly explains where these ancient Pagan symbols originated. Pagan symbols should NOT be banned, and it's very useful channels, like this one, that explain their true meaning(s). We need to reclaim these symbols. (On an unrelated topic, I once had a Christian minister confront me over wearing a Pentacle, but this was because I THOUGHT it was a 'Star of David'. 😆)

The swastika was also used in Europe by the ancient Etruscans, Germans and Slavs, the fact that the Nazis took the swastika from Hinduism is a lie spread by the British after the war to discredit the Nazi ideology. The swastika was a symbol of the god Thor among the Germans, if you don't believe me, look at the picture of Thor fighting giants by the Swedish artist Mårten Eskil Winge from 1872, long before the rise of Nazism, Thor here has a small swastika on his belt, if the swastika was from India, certainly Mårten would not have used it in his painting

[@jayejaycurry5485]

Actually, the swastika is an astronomical symbol depicting a pattern of stars with the North Star at its center. The symbol was used around the world, including by The First Peoples in North America. I believe it was the Hopi that elected to ban the symbol during WW II because of its use by the Nazis. So the Nazis could have gotten it from the Hindus, Europeans, North Americans, or many places.

[@jayejaycurry5485]

No, these symbols must not be banned. If they are simply because evil people misused them, then evil wins. I'll surrender nothing that is sacred to the forces of evil.

[@Eminovici]

What are forces of evil? Who are they, what is their name?

[@upfrontspeaker77777]

Socialism, oligarchy, organised religion, corporatism

[@AntonioTheTurtle]

Definitely not socialism that is opposed to corporatism.

[@upfrontspeaker77777]

@@AntonioTheTurtle they may be opposed but the strong corporations still retain their power to control the masses and the laws they live under. socialism was never BENEVOLENT

[@AntonioTheTurtle]

I was not talking about athoritarian socialism. Sorry. I was talking about a world without money,a world where people only try to benefit others,and freedom.(anarcho socialism).sorry if it sounded like authoritarian/totalitarian socialism.

[@user-ui5tw3ys4r]

What u not having a go at the sieg rune ,telling us how the nasty nazi partie misued it ..

[@gagishaggi6969]

The only one I didn't appretiate was the dream catcher. To impose on me that I am not using it in an efficient way is a mirco aggression, and I have not hate toward Natives.

[@nosotrosloslobosestamosreg4115]

Speak about the Saturn's scythe "tarnished" by communism.

[@Mustkillmachine]

[@Majinsome]

I think you still have time to take this video down buddy.
