The Swastika




       The Swastika: The Knowledge of God through Divine Intuition.
      
        This archaic and sacred symbol depicts the whole story of the cosmos and man: their contrasting dual aspects, the four directions of space, the four seasons, the revolution of worlds, cyclic progression and the union of spirit and matter at the heart. The swastika appeared frequently as a symbol in the Roman catacombs signifying Christ as the power of the world.  In medieval times (the period of history from the fall of the Roman Empire in the West [5th century A.D.] to the fall of Constantinople [1453 A.D.] ) it was the Gammadion, used to symbolize Christ as the cornerstone and also the four Evangelists, with Christ as the center.  It is the symbol of good luck, fortune, good augury [interpretation of omens]; good wishes, blessings, longevity, fecundity [fruitfulness], health and life everlasting.
