Like its relative the swastika, the gammadion presented the solstices and equinoxes, or the four directions, four elements, the succession of generations and the four divine guardians of the world. A sauvastika represented the moon, night, and the feminine principle. A swastika, the masculine, signifies that which leads to the outer world and the feminine indicates a leading to the inner mind of man. It is essentially a cross spinning at its centre, with the angles at the end of each arm representing light streaming as the cross turns. Spinning clockwise, it symbolizes male energy; anti-clockwise, female. It is also suggested that the swastika is a conventionalized human form of two arms and legs or the union of the male and female principles; the dynamic and static; mobility and immobility; harmony and balance; the two complimentary phases of movement, centrifugal and centripetal, inbreathing and out-breathing, going out from and returning to the center, beginning and end…In all circumstances it is the symbol of good luck, good augury, good wishes, blessings, longevity, fecundity, health and life.

The Knowledge of God Through Divine Intuition.
Mark of the chosen one
The Swastika is the oldest and most powerful symbol known to man. It is well known and is commonly called the Wan in China, the Fylfot in England, the Hakenkreuz in Germany, the Swastika in India, the Tetraskelion and Gammadion in Greece.
The Israelite tribe of Gad, indigenous of North America, have long used the symbol of the Swastika in the Americas long before modern times and is referred to as Sun Walking Across the Sky. It has been used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, the sun, power, strength, and good luck.
From A Dictionary of Symbols: Swastika: right-handedness is characteristic of all symbols of natural life…Similarly, the right side takes on an extra implication of birth and life, while the left side acquires an association with death. Another consequence, apparent in allegories and emblems, is that the right side corresponds to higher virtues. The swastika, being an intermediate sign between the cross and the wheel, is similarly regarded by some as a solar and by others as a polar sign.
The Hands of God
The Swastika has frequently appeared in Roman catacombs as a symbol of the four Evangelists with Jesus Christ as the center the power and cornerstone of the world. The Greeks had a name for the swastika: the Gammadion and they used it to symbolize Christ as the center and cornerstone of the four Gospels.
