The
Whirling Logs symbol was used as a good luck talisman by the Navajo (Diné) and several other Southwestern tribes. My grandparents collected old Navajo art and artifacts, and I have a rug, a silver necklace, and a basket that include the Whirling Logs, both rightwards and leftwards facing. All of the objects with this symbolism date to before 1940 or so, when the tribe agreed to stop using it due to its Nazi connotations.
