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.
Edited because: Knowledge is power.
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.
What Gods and Goddesses do you worship? Or, what do you know about Myanmar , may I ask?
“Pagan” makes me think of people who pray to native Deities, or of either King Pagan Min of mediaeval Myanmar, or Bago (a city in Myanmar, also known as “Pagan”. It was once a glorious capital during those years when they attacked and almost conquered the Siamese .).

What do you about Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Rodnovery, Suomenusko, or Heathenry (Asatru, Odinism, and Forn Sed)?

We know, Nazi Germany, cruelty, Hitler, and all. But the swastika is also treated as a good luck sign, a sign for divine energy, all of creation, and eternity.
The Odinists and Heathens (Pagans who worship Norse Gods), Rodnovers (worshippers of Slavic Gods), and many other Pagans also regard the swastika as a holy symbol.

Not all swastikas are Nazi shits.
