Fuck them baltics, eh?

?

It's a symbol, often used by the baltic cultures, often symbolizing sun, god, or perkūnas (a god similiar to zeus). And boy was it popular.

Many traditional clothes, chests, doors, furniture are often decorated with svastikas.

It's a neat little symbol and fuck the nazis trying to monopolize it.

I am a baltic person and haven't heard it before or seen it before.

That's extremely surprising. At least here in Lithuania we were taught about it in schools. Also during folk festivals like "Mėnuo Juodaragis" or "Kilkim Žaibu" there are tradesmen, they often have accesories for sale including the sun symbol.

Where are you from?

Near the baltic sea (relatively) and also Lithuanian but don't really attend festivals.
