The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika - su meaning good, asti meaning to be, and ka as a suffix. Until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck.
The Pentagram is a symbol of a star encased in a circle. Always with 5 points (one pointing upward), each has its own meaning.
