  The Svastika
The Vedas prescribe the asvattha (pipal or ficus religiosa) and the Samî (Acacia Suma) as the kinds of wood to be used in kindling the sacred fire.
A Svastika with a Latin inscription upon it was found in 1779 by Armelini in the new catacomb of SS.
The Svastika has been very generally allowed to be a symbol of the god Thor, who, to the Scandinavians, was the god of thunder and lightning, and of the domestic hearth, and therefore of fire also.

 Swastika - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The swastika (from Sanskrit स्वस्तिक svastika, from su "well", and asti "being", thus "good fortune" or "well-being") is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles in either left-facing (卍) or right-facing (卐) direction.
The swastika is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.
There is no reference to the swastika in the Vedas, the term svastika first appearing in Epic Sanskrit, but the symbol rose to importance in Hinduism and Buddhism in Maurya and Gupta India.

(ScoThomaa ou the Identity of Xandiames aud Krananda.) The paléographie evi dence, however, seems rather against so early a date.
Here, then, wo have clear indications that tho Svastika, with (ho hands pointing in the right direction, was originally a symbol of the κπη, perhaps of the vernal sun as opposed to the autumnal sun, the Suarastika, and, therefore, a natural symbol of light, life, Iwalth, and wealth.
But, while from these indications we are justified in supposing that among the Arj-an nations tho Svastika may have been an olii emblem of tho sun, there arc other indications to show that iu other parts of tho world tho samo or a similar emblem was used to indicate the earth.

OF "THE MANX NOTE BOOK" an article on the Svastika or Fylfot was illustrated by engravings of a cross shaft found by me at Dearham Church, Cumberland, during the restoration of that Church.
In the church-yard are fragments of a flat cross shaft with spiral ornamentation incised or picked out, of very early work, but different from the subject of this paper.

When I blogged about Prince Harry and the green swastikas in Montana, I noticed that the swastika was actually a Hindu symbol for "auspiciousness" and was originally spelled svastika or swastik.
