There is no actual swastika in this meme.

There is no actual swastika in this meme. | The swastika or manji is a universal symbol of the sun's rays, or reversed: the light of the moon. Related symbols include the black sun, Brighid's cross, Solomon's knot & the gammadion. It's also a Chinese character representing literally the number 10,000; & metaphorically all the diverse types of beings & objects in the universe. The swastika used by Hinduism & most Pagans in the northern hemisphere is a clockwise spinning symbol--the arms point counterclockwise. Jainism & many southern hemisphere Pagans use the sauvastika, a counterclockwise spinning symbol--the arms point clockwise. This is the one that the Nazis appropriated. (They got it backwards sometimes.) Buddhism uses both, each with its own meanings. The Hopi tribe sees the swastika representing earth while sauvastika is the sun. Native Americans may have the right to use such a symbol in our ceremonies, but now we avoid public display of artifacts featuring them, nor do we produce permanent new ones. (Short-term works such as sand paintings may have them.) We can't live in a moral way while ignoring the effects that our actions will have on other people. When a Westerner claims that it's OK to display a swastika because "it's still considered a good symbol in Asia," that's deliberately racist cultural appropriation. I've also seen someone claim to be a Hindu, yet they just wanted to get away with Nazi imagery. Some white supremacists try to be clever & use swastika adjacent symbols such as the black sun, the iron/German cross, or more recently the letters YE. That one is a reference to the artist formerly known as Kanye West, an open admirer of Adolf Hitler. | image tagged in black sun,more iron cross,swastikaguy,white supremacists,hate speech,history | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Signs of a religion in decline.

Signs of a religion in decline. | St. Patrick's Day is based on the myth of someone driving snakes (a metaphor for Pagan beliefs) out of Ireland. Yet the holiday named after this Christian saint has been taken over by Pagan leprechaun imagery. | image tagged in st patrick,leprechaun unicorn,mad karma,i am inevitable,heathen,triumph | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

They need a credit union.

They need a credit union. | Leprechauns are known for hoarding gold, but what are they saving up for? Money is useless if you're not going to spend or at least invest it. Or did they invent the hobby of coin collecting? | image tagged in leprechaun gold,greedy,pointless,mythology | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Happy Holi Day.

Happy Holi Day. | Holi is celebrated in northern India in February or March (a date 2 weeks before the 2nd full moon in the lunar calendar). It's a spring festival celebrating the vernal Equinox, & promoting fertility in the half-grown harvest. The festival of Holi takes its name from the term for a half-ripened corn, holika, which is also the name of a legendary winter demon that consumed children; Holi commemorates both the well being of the crops & the destruction of the demon. | image tagged in memes corn,celebration,pagan,heathen | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
