Is the Swastika poisoned?
-
The swastika is banned in Germany, and perhaps other parts of Europe, I am not sure. It is not banned in the USA.
True, the swastika is more ancient than the Nazis. But the Nazis being a recent painful memory, I think it requires some sensitivity in public. There are still survivors of the holocaust, and their children alive. I just would be cautious about using it in public.

But considering all the genocides the Jews are guilty of (if we believe Deuteronomy 3), why don't we ban the Star of David (so-called)?

Because it is too far away from living memory.

So in actuality you can't suggest a "ban," but rather a cloistering in secrecy until such time as it is safe. So who are you to judge that now isn't the time it is safe (we are actually moving all things otherwise in an exponential pace).

Expressing my opinion here doesn't mean I am enforcing my views on anyone else. I have the right to make my own judgements, and so do you.
If anyone is using the swastika in public, I would be interested to know the intentions, reactions, and results.

One of the essential dangers of NAZIism and Fascism in general is that the different opinion is not allowed, and any who persist to differ must be eradicated. These differences that are met with by brutal intolerance from the Fascist who seeks to eradicate them are physical/racial attributes as well as unwanted ideas.
The Flyfot Swastika has historically has nothing to do with Fascism or NAZIism. To continue to treat the Swastika as taboo is either to give in to NAZIism's continuing power, or admit that the NAZI legacy remains strong. Therefore the swastika must be celebrated as it once was.

Very well said. I completely agree. I would love to know how to go about doing that.
I will admit that when I was done reading this post, I went back and reread it....this time inserting the word pussy in place of swastika, and patriarchy for Nazi.

This makes my final line: "Therefore the pussy must be celebrated as it once was"
I find myself entirely in agreement with this idea.
However the swastika is often considered a solar symbol so presumably we can also say: "Therefore the cock must be celebrated as it once was".
-
When has the celebration of the cock ever stopped thou?
I'm glad that you agree, I like to celebrate, maybe I should throw a big pussy party.
Maybe that's what needs to be done to reclaim the swastika, a big celebration rejoining the two maligned ones, Maybe redraw the symbols together, like a swastika in a Vesica piscis.

Going back to my post on Wilhelm Reich this is precisely the antidote to the Xtian emotional plague and NAZIism that harnesses the torment and produces brutality. Sexual ill-health is the basis of Fascism.
So please do 'party on'
From a purely practice of Magic perspective the whirling fylfot can be related to primal Aleph and some good supernal's work. The flow of libido after such work is very great and somewhat turbulent I have found.
-
Can you please give your definition of somewhat turbulent.
I certainly do not need anything to increase my libido.....especially these hot summer days when people run around half naked.
But, here a thought. In the movie What the Bleep the Actress Marlene Matlin in an attempt to reprogram her subconscious writes the word Love all over her body. Let's say a sexually unrepressed person were to use invisible ink
and paint the fylfot all over the body and then go "parade". About town.My brother was a streaker back in the days, and my family had a high fence so that me and my little brother could go naked. I recall thinking (at about 5 or 6) that it was strange that my brother had to run naked, and I told him he shouldn't run but walk. I also wanted to tear down our fence because it blocked my view of my neighbors trees and flowers, and that I didn't need to be protected from others eyes.......
My mother lived in London, born in 36 and left shortly after WwII (52). The war had a huge impact on her and she despised fascism. She never ever tried to repress my sexuality but subtly taught me how others do not share our openess, and will aggressively act towards our liberty.
Funny too that when she came to America she became friends with Indians ( mostly Hindi) whom had the symbol in their culture as a positive.

Turbulent
Fast flowing with fluctuations to even faster. I find swastika work makes me short tempered with the 'meek', although this is never expressed in anything more that for example: "fuck off and come back when you have a spine". Also swastika work causes me to be generally enthusiastic during sex compared to when not all 'swastika'd up'. If this is a general effect for all who do swastika work I can see how it fits in with the NAZI view of what contributes to their image of positive attributes, but then they go onto extreme stuff like-genocide and marching about in boots which does not interest me no matter how much swastika type energy I have worked with.
The important point is that swastika does not lend one towards brutality or un-provoked aggression. However I find the energy is more related psychologically to assertion rather then compliance or negotiation.
With respect to your family history, the scourge of Naziism will take more then three generations to be forgiven I suspect. The swastika is a positive symbol of force and as Franz Bardon wrote, 'it is a mistake to throw out the baby with the bath water'.
-
I see.
Well then, considering I am generally enthusiastic all the time with an already high libido, and I have no problems with being assertive....I shan't be painting invisible swastikas on my body any time soon. Mars in Scorpio I suppose.
Very interesting though, thanks for sharing. -

It's only poisoned in the minds of people who can't move past their minds.
