The first in a series of POSTCARDS video podcasts. I go through my favorite postcards in my collection.

This one was sent to a Mr. Brenner of Pasadena, California in 1910. It talks about the May Party, good memories, and a symbol of good fortune.

  • I think its interesting to point out that the symbols, the ancient ones are facing to the left, and apparently the Nazis, literally reversed the symbol (once adopted) in the opposite direction.

    I would thinkj this is akin to taking a pentacle and reversing it for "evil" purposes.

  • Sort of...Hitler didn't think he was doing anything evil. He adopted the swastika (in it's reversed and tilted form) because it was already adopted by the Thule Society which sponsored the German Workers Party which became the Nazi party. The Thule Society claimed the swastika spawned from the original Aryan nation, many millennium ago.

  • good stuff. how many takes was this? ;)

  • Heh. Well...I tried to do this several times over the past month before deciding what I wanted the final product to look like. After that, three takes.

  • Very cool and interesting.

  • Great video, you hit a home run. When you flipped the card I gasped. The next volume is going to rock.
