# Isn't the swaztika
an old symbol for good look and stuff?

....just saying!

# I believe (and I'm no historian, so I might just look it up)
it was also used by a rather nasty group of Germans called the Nazis, who ran around being generally beastly to pretty much everyone who didn't fit in with their ideals. ;) Much like the Daily Mail.

# I thought it was a chineese simble
for peice.

But I also remember gandy being involved in the story of the swaztika, so I could be wrong.

# i think it was mirrored,
it used to be an indian symbol or something.

# There's a similar symbol,
but with three prongs. It's made up of 7's, which is a traditionally powerful magical number.

# It used to be (and still is) a Hindu symbol for peace and good luck.
Thats where the nazis got it from, to try and give them good luck. It was the other way round, though. Which could be why it didnt work...

What happened with Crispian Mills? I discovered Kula Shaker after they split up, and knew he said something about it but I dont know what.

# It know it was used...
by the Romans as a symbol of revolution, but I think it originated from Greece, it was the other way around then however.
