Some have sought to attach to the widespread use of this sign, in particular in its Swastika form, a real ethnographic importance. It may have represented the apparatus used in kindling fire, and thus as the symbol of sacred fire or as a symbol of the sun, denoting its daily rotation. It has also been interpreted as the mystic representation of lightining or of the god of the tempest, and even the emblem of the Aryan pantheon and the primitive Aryan civilization.
