re swastika was hitler pagan or christian the observation that the tree of life would rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern probably doesn t give enough consideration to the feebleness of the coriolis force compared to say the phototropism of vegetation a much more likely explanation is the classic one that the clockwise swastika is the sun wheel because the sun progresses across the sky that way although that s not the historical way it happened clocks were first made as little imitation images of the sun moving thru the heavens so it s more valid to talk of the clock going sunwise but do the engineers listen to me of course not anyway there is still much uncertainty about whether the anti swastika goes counter sunwise because that represents evil or because it is the sun s twin opposite the moonwheel the use of anti sun to represent evil may be because humans are so strongly visually oriented but i m not going to try to settle that one just now diccon frankborn dickeney access digex com
