Very good!!
It would also be great to have a celtic cross - like those in the irish monasteries - to represent the celtic christianity in the early medieval scenarios (476, f. eg.).
Ha ha ha, I've found my passion in modding. Making these religios symbols.
Please anyone, give me an other one.
BTW, Kruumpa Urr, you shiite crecent is marvelous.

Thank you sir! And I love that Celtic cross!
How about trying a new pagan symbol?

Yeah, that's the hard part. "Celtic" christianity existed for some three centuries, in conflict with the roman' progressive centralization of the dogma. Anyway, it was in those days (between the 3rd and the 6th centuries) that the roman Church defined herself, by refusing any mouvements outside it's vision, and started to call them "heresies". For a scenario' purpose, maybe it could replace protestantism(?).
Excellent symbol, you have the talent for this!

Yes, that was my though to when i was working with Scandza (see link in sig).
I did a whole bunch of symbols back then (about two months ago). Mostly for the Asafaith, but some others too.

Yes, hmm, what about a solar cross, or was that one only used in the european tribes?
I do know this good webpage with alot of diffrent symbols. Unfortunatly I can't post a link, as I have not fully read the rules about "posting swastika releated theams". If anyone wants the link, ICQ me on the number in my sig.
Ohhh, i can't sit here and wait for an answer, so I made that solar cross anyway. But there is something about the pictures that I upload to photobucket, they loose the sting and colour in them.
The Sun cross seems pretty wide spread (in various forms), Europeans and Native Americans use it, Wikipedia has different Sun cross designs, maybe you can find one that looks less 'Christian'
Yes but those crosses on wikipedia are still similar to mine. It is a tuff subject as the suncross, often are a ******** (the word i mentioned earlier, don't want to risk anything).

Ya know, that symbol is exactly what I was thinking!
I also thought about the "swastika", given it's ancient and widespread use among the non-Abrahamic religions world-wide, but the stigma attached to it...
Shame how so many things have received darker meanings throughout history.

Exactly my thoughts too. I wonder if it is allowed reversed?

Not sure.
You'd probably want to get an OK from a moderator first.
I just asked Stonewall if one is allowed to post pictures of suncrosses with broken arms.

The swastika as far as I know has never been used by non-Dharmic religions, it's an ancient symbol, but it's an ancient Hindu symbol.
It is found in...
China
India
Japan
Tibet
Greece
Gnostism
Hittites
