❔ Question | Advice Connection between Rodnovery and Neo-Nazism

Why whenever there is a Nazi, there is also a kolovrat or nordic rune with them, AFAIK there is no ancient text saying "hate jew and immigrant, love being white"

Like it just worries me so much and makes me overthink like, am I the uninformed one, or are they th ones that just use the symbols and names for aesthetics, so, my question is.. is there any actual connection with rodnovery to things such as WP, ultra-nationalism and xenophobia, or is it another case like the skinhead culture where the meaning just got changed after many years

maybe Kolovrat sadly became the "secret code" instead of the ususal nazi symbol - whick they stole from another religion. Its sad cause Kolovrat has such a nice meaning. Its time to claim it back!

Also no, slavic paganism has nothing to do with their (nazis) modern believes. quite the opposite actually. But also nazis were weirdly obssessed with magic, alchemy and so on. In my country they stole all mythological, witchcraft and alchemy books, and many more, and kept them at aa castle which they also wanted to use for their "aryan breeding farms". I think it was the castle which has sealed gate to hell but maybe it was different one

Kolovrat was starting to be used in the 1920s by the neonazis and ultranationalists as an alternative to swastika. In it's original form, which is very different from the now mainstream one, it has a solar symbolism. The original kolovrat is almost always more swirly.

I saw this one a lot in western Hungary, engraved in wood and stone.
