Dear instructors,
Reading Dayspring of Youth, the author warns us about negative symbols. Symbols that certain corporations and even religious groups use, which if their meaning and effect would be known to the public, would be outlawed.
Since reading that I have gotten negative associations with Thor's hammer, or Mjölnir. In the myths, it is the symbol of the protector of mankind but the fact that it's pointing down, looking somewhat like an inverted cross or pentagram, makes me weary. On the opposite there's the Valknut (three upwards pointing pyramids) which gives a more positive association.
Is this caution justified or am I mistaken? Any help is very helpful!
Thank you.
