Its probably worth mentioning that some of those (like the sun cross) are also used as neo-nazi insignia. I am completely in favour of still using them (we shouldn't let nazis spoil century old symbols), but I felt it was important to note.

Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

Ah fuck of course they've gotta try ruin this too. Definitely good to know, even if just to look out for.
Nazi occultism is a pretty deep rabbit hole and I'm pretty sure those who take that stuff seriously were and are familiar with all of these.
And here we are using the solar cross for mathematics.
Nazis confirmed. QED
Here, now it's a meme.
I love it!
many of these have multiple different meanings and interpretations
Some of those symbols mean different things in different practices. Eg, wheel of karma but spiral is the wheel from a different perspective, eg repeating lessons with more advanced knowledge.

To this should be added the symbol formed by the Big Dipper, when one sees it at the solstices and the equinoxen: the traditional Hindu, Buddhist, Hopi, & Navaho, swastika/sun-cross.
In my religion it represents the equanimity-of-OceanOfAllAwakeSouls/GreatSpirit/G-D.
Earth's gyroscopic axis precesses/wobbles around, so 13 millenia from now the polestar that we have won't be this planet's polestar..
but another 13 millenia later, it will be..
Our world is transient, but the steadiness of the spirit that cultivates its children ( which are souls ) .. doesn't change.
Wikipedia's page on the swastika is decent..
