File Rosa camuna R2 3 Carpene Sellero Foto Luca Giarelli .jpg 300px thumb The Ilkley Moor design is similar to the Camunian rose of Sellero , Italy The Swastika Stone is a stone adorned with a Swastika located on the Woodhouse Crag, on the Northern edge of Ilkley Moor in West Yorkshire . The design has a double outline with five curved arms enclosing several so called cup marks, the like of which can be found on other stones nearby. The design is unique in the British Isles, so its close similarity to Camunian rose designs in Italy have led some to theorize that the two are connected. In fact, the troops stationed in Ilkley during Roman occupation were recruited from the Celtic Lingones. This tribe was native to Gaul, but in around 400 BCE, some migrated across the Alps to the Adriatic coast. Some believe the Ilkley Lingones were recruited from here rather than from Gaul. It is possible that the Italian Lingones passed through the Valcamonica region at some point, took on the swastika designs they found as part of their tribal symbolism, and carved it on the nearby moor when stationed in Ilkley. ref cite title Verbeia url http knol.google.com k verbeia first Gyrus date 1 September 2009 accessdate 23 January 2011 ref UK children s author Terry Deary has suggested the carving depicts a boomerang ... 9 June 2009 ref See also Fylfot Swastika Germanic Germanic pre Christian use of the swastika Western use of the Swastika in the early 20th century Camunian rose References reflist External links http homepage.ntlworld.com mjpowell Photo Archive England England 3.htm The Swastika Stone http homepage.ntlworld.com mjpowell Photo Archive England swastika stone.jpg Image of the swastika stone a 20th ... in West Yorkshire Category Swastika Category Petroglyphs UK archaeology stub WestYorkshire struct stub ...   more details

The exact English title is Zodiac and Swastika Astrologer to Himmler s Court or Zodiac and Swastika How Astrology Guided Hitler s Germany . Fact date July 2007 someone plz sort that out The English edition also has a foreword by Walter Laqueur . Apparently, this book is the most important source for Heinrich Himmler s interest in astrology . Nicholas Goodrick Clarke takes it as evidence that Wulff was consulted by Himmler in the last weeks of the war The Occult Roots of Nazism , p.165 . However, Goodrick Clarke does not deal with Wulff s claim that as early as 1943 he got the assignment to locate Benito Mussolini who had disappeared after being ousted from power. Wulff claims, that Arthur Nebe and Walter Schellenberg had assigned him with various astrological tasks. He shortly mentions that they had used pendulum dowsers like Ludwig Straniak for similar purposes. At least one other book also makes allegation that a pendulum dowser called Dr. Wilhelm Gutberlet had been one of Aolf Hitler s closest friends. ref Peter Levenda , Unholy Alliance ref ref http www.thebirdman.org Index NetLoss Irving Irving OcculticAspectsOfWW2 Levenda.html Occultic Aspects of WW2 Four Excerpts from Peter Levenda s Unholy Alliance ref These claims, however, strongly appear to be just another example of the Modern Mythology of Nazi Occultism .
