On The Meaning And Origin Of The Fylfot And Swastika (1884)

On The Meaning And Origin Of The Fylfot And Swastika, written by Robert Philips Greg and published in 1884, is a historical and cultural exploration of the origins and significance of two ancient symbols: the fylfot and the swastika. The book delves into the history of these symbols, tracing their use in various cultures and religions throughout the centuries, from their earliest known appearances in ancient India and Greece to their adoption by the Nazis in the 20th century. Greg examines the various meanings and interpretations of the fylfot and swastika, including their associations with good luck, prosperity, and fertility, as well as their use in religious and spiritual contexts. He also explores the controversy surrounding these symbols, particularly in the wake of their association with Nazism and the atrocities committed during the Holocaust. Throughout the book, Greg draws on a wide range of sources, including historical texts, archaeological findings, and cultural artifacts, to provide a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the fylfot and swastika. This book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of symbols and their cultural significance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
