Hot clips from http://www.crossroad.to/text/symbols.html
| ANARCHY:
Popular among school aged children today,
this symbol for anarchy fits the message that pervades the most popular video
games, role-playing games, movies and television. The lines of the "A" often
extend outside the circle. |
Ah, always good to see that our plans for world domination are still on
schedule!
| SWASTIKA: Ancient occult symbol of the sun and the four
directions. Revived by Hitler, it represents racism and the "white supremacy" of
neo-nazis. |
Of course historians agree TM that the Swastika always was, and
always will be, a symbol of evil and white racism.
| THUNDERBOLT: In ancient mythologies from many cultures
(Norse, Roman, Greek, Native American, etc.) the lighting bolt would be hurled
by male sky gods to punish, water, or fertilize the earth or its creatures.
Navaho myths linked it to the Thunderbird, the symbol of salvation and divine
gifts. On many children's toys, it represents supernatural power. Double bolts,
popular with contemporary skinheads, symbolize Nazi power. |
If it isn't the Power Rangers it'll be Pikachu...
Does anyone know if the similarity between the Wiccan Pentagram and Anarchism
"rune", and the likeness of the rubric "Do what thou will, if it harm none" and
the NIAP, have any link?
The Anonymous Iconoclast.
PS. I always knew that the toad was connected to the black arts
somehow :)
PPS. Check out the "warning" about
the occult power of symbols at the bottom of the page.
