Hi everyone.I came across this idea when I was reading an article about the cross and swastika variants.I found a similarity between Manson's last,well not so last, tattoo and the basque cross/swastika called the lauburu especially that it symbolizes what Manson's thoughts are about these days,I'm not sure but I came across this idea and I wanted to share it with you.

Historians and authorities compete to apply allegorical (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory) meaning to the ancient symbol. Some say it signifies the "four heads or regions" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurak_Bat) of the Basque Country (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basque_Country_(historical_territory)). The lauburu does not appear in any of the seven coats-of-arms that have been combined in the arms of the Basque Country: Higher and LowerNavarre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navarre), Guipuzcoa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guipuzcoa), Biscay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biscay), Alava (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alava), Labourd (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labourd), Soule (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soule) ; The Basque (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basque_people) intellectual Imanol Mujica liked to say that the heads signify spirit, life, consciousness, and form – but it is generally used as a symbol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbol) of prosperity.
