Before it was appropriated by the Nazis, the Swastika was a symbol of harmony.
Specifically, alchemical harmony of the Four Elements. You may call them Water, Earth, Air and Fire, but the Alchemists used those as a short-hand.
The Swastika itself is meant to be viewed as if tracing the outside branches inwards towards the center, the Unity. First you balance the outer and then you balance the inner, like a math equation.
Sometimes you will see 4 dots in between the Swastika arms -- those are the Fixed Elements, whereas most considered the arms to be a path they take towards harmony.
If you want more info on it, look up the fylfot cross.
Came to say this, it was a peace and harmony symbol, many old quilts that came from numerous cultures in the US especially those that were made after the Civil War to pre 1930’s used this symbol for peace - wind mills etc. ... before it was used by Hitler in the 1930’s. After the symbol was used as a nefarious symbol, any of the quilts that had this on them, no matter how sentimental were destroyed simply because the symbol was no longer a peace symbol and the families did not want to be connected with anything German, sad really. Yes, not surprised something that was a peace symbol was made to be not.
My first time in Bali we were driving and turned down a street lined with swastikas...Nazi flags flapping in the breeze. Wife told me it was a Buddhist symbol and it was backwards from swastika...but the flags are opposite on each side, so I saw them as half Nazi.
The orientation and spin direction do matter in this symbol, and what is on that note matches the orientation and spin direction used by the Nazi party.
As with most sacred symbols it is a 2D representation of many interlinked and complex multidimensional concepts of Creation, and one of those is the state of Duality that we exist in currently so the direction matters very much.

Absolutely right. Nearly every culture has their own stylized version and it LONG predates nazis.
