Religion:Balto-Slavic swastika
From HandWiki
The swastika, which is found on Slavic and Baltic patterns (on embroidery and ornaments of weapons and armor), is a traditional Slavic symbol[1][unreliable source?] and is used in modern neo-paganism (see “§ In modern countries”). Today, the swastika is officially used by Baltic neo-pagan organizations such as Romuva and Dievturiba.[2]
