... From: Aeon IV:5 (Nov 1996) Home | Issue Contents The Cosmic Origin of the Swastika Dwardu Cardona See Note * below. 1. SATURN In Sanskrit, the emblem we know as the swastika is called pramantha. The word also means "fire-drill". (1 ) According to Robert Graves, it is this Sanskrit word that lies behind the name of the Greek Prometheus. In Greek, "Prometheus" means "forethought" but, according to Graves, the name may really have originated "in a Greek misunderstanding of the Sanskrit word pramantha, the swastika, or fire-drill, which he had supposedly invented, since Zeus Prometheus at Thurii was shown ...

... rain producer." [58] (We will return to the four-fold form of the thunderbolt below.) In addition to being likened to a cross, Thor's thunderbolt was elsewhere represented with a swastika-like form on ancient monuments. [59] Davidson offered the following thoughts on this aspect of the thunderbolt's iconography: "Primarily it [the swastika] appears to have had connection with light and fire, and to have been linked with the sun-wheel. It may have been on account of Thor's association with the lightning that this sign was used as an alternative to the hammer, for it is found on memorial stones in Scandinavia beside inscriptions to Thor."

Even Carl Sagan and Nancy Dru-yan, (4 ) notice the prevalence of an ancient symbol, the swastika, and propose a celestial origin for the symbol. It was, according to them, a rotating comet spewing streams of gas into surrounding space. At our symposium in November of 1994, I asked the astronomer Tom Van Flandern if he agreed with this statement: that there is considerable evidence to suggest that ancient civilizations may have arisen ...
