What we call today the “swastica” has had many names and more than a few meanings before the National Socialist Workers Party of Germany adopted it and made it what it is today. As far as I know, none of the pre NAZI uses and meanings had any of the cultist and eventual evil symbolism with which it is now associated.

Historically, the symbol had uses and meanings centering around the concepts of good luck, good fortune, peace, tranquility, communion with nature or the gods, and a plethora of positive things.

While these may bay been some of the initial reasons behind the German National Socialist Workers Party adopting the symbol as it’s own, the evils done under it have changed the meaning of the symbol for generations to come.

Learn a little history. It might change how you see things.

Time for more coffee.

I found a coin (token) under a front door sill that was being replaced in a house originally built in the 1920's. The token had a "swastika" on one side and the image of an indian in full headdress on the other. It was from a shoe company and the symbol was from the Navajo culture where it was a symbol of good luck. All uses of this symbol pre-Hitler were without any evil intent as far as I know. I think I have another one from some forerunner of the Boy Scout's as well.
Symbols and words change, as Galenrog said, like Isis (an Egyptian god), now a terrorist group, or "gay", which always meant happy, now it has additional meanings.

Not interested in your Hitler coin...But, if you happen to have one of the Indian coins from before the U.S. took it over I would be interested in making an offer...

The mods will take care of it as soon as they see it. It's the op's first post so I'd guess he'll get told to read the rules. Or you'll never see them again. Good luck.
