Oh, and I think the Navajo indians had a symbol like it, even if they weren't the exact culture the Nazis stole it from

I happen to know that the Swasika turning clockwise or counterclockwise can symbolize either life or death. It wasn't always a symbol for Naziism. The Nazis stole quite a few previously untainted symbols.

in the india art work you see alot of swastica and it was a good luck symbol, but I do not think your from India, so you could have left  it out.  or was the shook fact part of you picture?

actually before it got a negative connotation. it was a good luck symbol. But a lotta ppl (including me) find it hard to see past it. Its good, but i suggest - the swastica.
