Some Ouiji boards appear to have crooked crosses on them and I just wondered why.

I understand that there are two ways a swastika's arms are directed. Clockwise pools things in, counter-clockwise pushes things away (this one is the Nazi's version) but I don't want to know the history on it I want to know why it's put on some Ouiji boards.

quote from link
"The swastika is an extremely powerful symbol. The Nazis used it to murder millions of people, but for centuries it had positive meanings. What is the history of the swastika? Does it now represent good or evil?
The Oldest Known Symbol
The swastika is an ancient symbol that has been used for over 3,000 years. (That even predates the ancient Egyptian symbol, the Ankh!) Artifacts such as pottery and coins from ancient Troy show that the swastika was a commonly used symbol as far back as 1000 BCE. "

FREAKING NO! ok, a number of you ought to think of that i'm extraordinary for asserting this yet Ouiji boards are undesirable success. So me and my cousins are relatively into this entire supernatural stuff yet we don't mess with Ouiji boards. So as quickly as we've been little we asked our aunt approximately them and he or she informed us the tale of her utilising one: ok, so her and her chum tried to apply one one time while they have been on my own. on a similar time as she exchange into attempting to call to the ineffective the item on the board began to go, they freaked out and threw the ingredient around the room. So, they the two went ome and in the morning my aunt had a chew mark on her leg so she did not bypass to college. She observed as her chum and her chum had a similar chew mark in a similar place. I observed the pictures they took and it heavily freaked me out. Ouiji boards are used to touch the ineffective in extreme motives or they could summon a demon.

If you look closely, it is not the swastika,it goes the opposite way...there is a court house in Marrietta Ohio that had to explain this also because the same symbol is on their floor.People thought that it was the swastika and was very upset.
