Nowadays, as a Hindu Chinese, I respect the swastika as a symbol of various deities.
But if it’s a Nazi swastika or Hakenkreuz, I would regard it as a murderous blasphemy against the Gods.

That is good of you.
 
I’m Christian, but I liked Pagan religions and mythologies (especially Slavic, Greek, Sumerian, Scythian, and Hittite) and Hinduism more, because they are rather more beautiful and vivid. They also inspire me to write stories.
 
I especially prefer Svetovid (the four-headed Slavic war God, pictured) and Baldr (the bright Norse God), although I also like the wild Odin for His journeys and sacrifices to earn knowledge.

In a further note, I also am happy to add that left-facing svastikas (卍) are known as:
 
“sauwastikas”,  
“yungdrung” (Tibetan, “eternity”),  
“wan zi” (Chinese, similar to “word for ten thousand” for the symbol’s association with “myriad” or “eternity”), or  
“manji” (more common name, Japanese). Left-facing svastikas are also more often used in Buddhism, and is associated with Hindu esoteric practices and the Goddess Kali .
 
Native Americans also used that symbol too.

I’m kind of an atheist but I have the strongest connection to the Poetic Edda and Havamal, I admire Odin and see Yggdrasil as the center of life if I believed it truly existed. I was raised with Native American Traditions and I take a lot of elements of that as well.

I have no idea how the alt right gets so much flak for being nazis when I hardly ever see a swastika on places like breitbart, yet I see a swastika like almost everyday I drop by an MLP image board.
