It is also possible to see a similarity of the ‘Dragon swastika’ to the cup and dot Rosa Camuna swastika variation common to the Val Camonica petroglyph area in Northern Italy. The inner dots might correspond to Ursa Minor and Thuban. Note that the image of the Rosa Camuna has been flipped.
Why then does its shape describe a clockwise motion, whereas the stars turn anti-clockwise around the pole?
Perhaps the design relates to the shamanic practice of ascent up the ‘Pillar of the World’ (to use the Lapp term). Numerous Siberian and northern European peoples … see the Pole Star as the summit of a pole holding up the sky. Eliade notes similar beliefs about the Pole Star in Ancient Saxon, Scandinavian and Romanian myths. If one imagines the Swastika design to be the base of a Pillar of the World, the implicit motion of the design makes sense. Something that appears to turn anti-clockwise when looking up from the bottom of a pole will, if it slides down the pole and is viewed from above, appear to turn clockwise.
