Swastika Scout Medal
Close up from the foto down here made by Oly Nikon Learner and also owner of the medal. He could tell me this about it:
I know the wearer of this (who died in the 1950s) had met repeatedly with Baden-Powell since he was a senior Greek Boy Scout leader. This being a "friendship" medal, he must have gotten it as part of the recognition of the Greek Boy Scouts by the big chief. Fascinating!
The swastika symbol used in a Boy Scout badges
One version of the swastika's meaning can be found in a 1921 article about it:
"On the stole of an ancient bishop of Winchester, Edyndon, who died in 1366, is the Swastika or Scouts' Thanks Badge which was called at that time the "Fylfot," and was said to represent Obedience or Submission, the different arms of the cross being in reality legs in the attitude of kneeling.

Swastika Cactus
Read what Jenny Starr have to say about her drawing:
This image started out as a response to this one time (a few years ago) when I tried the liquid in my cactus. I always thought cactus's had water or milk in them, so if you were walking in a desert you could be saved by a cactus. The cactus above the TV is the kind I have (I call it a pencil cactus). If you cut it it bleeds a white liquid-so I thought I'd try it. It tasted like nothing, but after a few minutes my throat and tongue started burning like crazy. I freaked out and chugged a half gallon of milk (thinking it would help-it didn't), then I ran to my computer and looked online to see what I had just ingested. It was pure poison, but the amount I tried would not do me any damage other than immediate discomfort...so all was well. (And I've been told since many times how stupid this and I am...I was just too curious though). Anyways, so in my sketchbook I drew this guy and had the swastika tattoo just because I was putting small silly tattoos on many of my sketch book characters; plus everyone looking at that picture would have to stop and ask me about it. I created this overall image about my poisoning, and added a girl drinking poison on the TV. I left the swastika on first as whimsy, but I was doubting it-I'm not a Nazi or supporter (though I am mostly German), so I don't want people to think that. Before Hitler shot himself in the head he took a cyanide capsule, aka poison. So I left the swastika and it brings a new narrative to the work.
