Indeed. It is a damn shame, especially given how profoundly admired the bear and its image was, although Ruskies and Slav bros are kind of wanting for the iconography. To be clear: all of the indigenous ethnic religions of Europe have features worthy of appreciation IMO, but Norse paganism in particular is a treasure trove of symbolism and almost an embarrassment of aesthetic riches. I mean, just the Ægishjálmr, Gungnir, Mjölnir, Triskele (Óðrœrir, Boðn, Són), Valknut, Vegvisir and Yggdrasil alone is a KO1.
