What does the inverted peace sign mean?
If only the “fork” is used inverted – as on the album cover – , it’s an “Algiz” or “Elhaz” rune, used by some Neo-Nazi and Germanic Neopagan groups. Which seems to fit in with the “(Norwegian) black metal” background of the album. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elhaz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burzum If the whole peace sign is inverted, circle included, it’s an “optimistic” peace sign as proposed by some. “Ken Kolsbum, a correspondent of Mr. Holtum, says that the designer came to regret the symbolism of despair, as he felt that peace was something to be celebrated and wanted the symbol to be inverted.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_sign#… “World’s best-known protest symbol turns 50”, BBC News : h
