The Right Orientation


Indeed, the assertion goes something like this : "The swastika was
originally a wonderful, holy symbol for people all around the world.
The swastika was usually turned to the right, sun-wise, to symbolize
good luck. Then the Nazis came and exploited it, turning it
backwards to symbolize hate and destruction as a magical means to
world conquest. Ever since, the swastika has meant evil to people all
around the world, regardless of direction, so now we have to get back
at the Nazis by writing endless articles in New Age journals and
websites, exposing them for what they really were." And this nonsense
has been echoing from website to website, on and on, to such an
extent that it makes the InterNet sound like a virtual parrots'
brothel.

In this context, it is pleasant to hear someone point out that "The
problem is not whether sun-wise indicates good or bad luck, (it is
definitely good) but rather which swastika direction is to be
considered sun-wise", observe that both versions of the swastikas
could be found in National Socialist symbolism, and notice
that ",contrary to the assertions of the New Agers, the Nazi way
(that is, the direction of the swastika chosen as the emblem of the
NSDAP) is the sun-wise, right-hand way!", to conclude : "The Nazi
swastika direction is identical to the ancient sun-wise direction.
(Proved by association with positive mythical characters and context,
as seen on a preponderance of archeological artifacts). This is
directly opposite the current liberal interpretation."

To realise this, one only needs to look at the NSDAP's swastika. It's
as simple as that. It is rather worrying, and yet not surprising, to
note that millions of people are ready to swear that it is actually
an anti-clockwise one. Worrying for them.

As for the hypothesis according to which the choice of the Hitlerian
swastika derived from the relations between Gurdjieff and Haushofer,
it seems to be unfounded nonsense. However, Evola does not endorse
it. He repeats it, without expressing an opinion on it.

To the best of our knowledge, no one has picked out that most interesting correspondence. Neither Guénon nor Evola, nor even Avalon have mentioned the...

I don't think either Evola or Guénon ever associated the 'gunas' with any colour, but the latter, in a series of articles called 'L'Archeomètre' and ...

One may rightly regard the fact that Guénon ascribed the colour blue, not the colour yellow as is more usual, to the third caste, as a mere detail. However...
