As for other indogermanic people, the sex of the basque sun is feminin. These and other coincidences point to some common grounds of the basque and other indoeuropean paganisms, basques having been less isolated and impermeable to foreign influences than we have always been told. Posted by Amaya Ormaza. I am an Spanish college student and I saw your beautifull page in the net. I would like to make some comments about the lauburu.
Some people say it represents the sun.
In High School, back in Gipuzkoa, our Euskara teacher told us that the lauburu represents or gives luck, depending in which way its arms are oriented. I think that when they point clockwise is a symbol of bad luck and vice versa. Our teacher also told us that it represents the fate of the basque culture, but I don't remember that too well. I hope my comments can be of any utility. It was last modified on Sun, Jun 3, 2001.
