In Japan, as Shinto Spirit , but a spirit of Ise-Hakusan Dou and his blog, Shiva is indeed relating with Japanese Susanou kami.
We wrote them in Japanese kanji at a posting title :
四波神＿Four (Ocean ) waves god,
四刃神＿Four blades ( Hands and Arms ) god.
They are not wrong expression for a image of Shiva as you see the photo as below.
Shiva can has four blades and can dance like a Ocean waves and Water streams come from four directions, then can be so lightly flowing in Air such as winds come from four directions too. Means, we feel little wild freedom for how we live but in the rule of four dignities. What are they?....Now I know only one for the North. The Hokuto-Shichisei in Japanese, the Big Dipper in English and the plough in British.
So we see the Cross also in four points in Shiva`s hand moving. We can imagine Jesus at same time in it, standing in it, not dead body on a cross. Because Spirit of Jesus is still living and standing, moving so active and working with us, in us. So Shiva dose.
They are not dead. They are free. They live with us.
These are our imagination for Shiva god and Jesus.
We respect and thank for Shiva`s power, abilities,mind like a child who is holding own self, not be distracted by any other masters. The god child believes self conscience so,freely moves as follow own mind and heart. Then he or she or both in a one life freely play with what they got in a reality of life and be into anywhere at the world by the imagination. The imagination is god of the invention.
Susanou and Shiva. Both`s spirits are at everywhere in this world on Earth and working with Mother Sun god/Kami and Father Earth ( Mountain ) god/Kami.
An article by G-man in Japan who is young Japanese man and a one of readers of Ise-Hakun dou.
As below as the short article which is recommending Shiva was copied from a longer comment of G-man by me._This is just a part of it, there was at a section for commentators in a blog of Ise-Hakusan Dou.

ニーチェは「アポロン的」「ディオニュソス的」と対比させて、「アポロン的なもの」は近代的理性、合理性、キリスト教を、「ディオニュソス的なもの」は陶酔的、熱狂的、生きる意味の体感、生の意志、力への意志、破壊と創造、善悪の分別である道徳規範の制約がないこと、といったものを示します。
Nietzsche had his point of view and pointing out them such as compared [Aphorisms ] and [ Dionysus ] *_Dionysus was exceedingly common, and many ancient people, famous and otherwise, bore it. It remains a common name today in the formDennis (Denys, Denis, Denise). The modern Greek form of the name is Dionysios or Dionysis. The Spanish form of the name is Dionisio. The Italian form of the name is Dionigi.
In his mind of comparison , [Anything but Aphorisms ] are the modern mind, a rationality , a Christianity and [Anything but Dionysus ] are the tendency, inclination and a trend of a intoxication, fascination, enthusiasm, the sensation of meaning of life, a will to be, a will to the power, the havoc, the destruction and creation, the origination, then there is non restraint and constraint of the canon as there is a norm for the standard or the mankind, were pointed out by him.
それぞれギリシア神話の神で、アポロンは光明神、ディオニュソスは豊穣とブドウ酒と酩酊の神です。
They are God of Greek fable as Apollo is as God of Lamp, Torch, Hope and Dionysus is as God of Product, Wine and Intoxication respectively.
アポロン的というのは「仮象の世界に夢見て、生存の苦悩を克服しようとするもの」であり、ディオニュソス的というのは「陶酔の世界で自己忘却し、生存の根底の永遠の一者と一体化しようとするもの」であります。
What Apollo is, that is [ seeing dream in the tentative image and try to conquer the agony and distress of the own existence or survival .]
What Dionysus is, that is [ doing dismiss from one`s own self in the world of intoxication and try to be unify with the one as an eternal root of existing Spirit. ( Breath of a life)
ニーチェは「ディオニュソス的」だったようです。『シヴァとディオニュソス』という本もありますが、シヴァ教とディオニュソス教は共通点があります。
Nietzsche was seems [ like Dionysus ]. There is the book what a title is {Shiva and Dionysus},also there is similarity between Shiva and Dionysus.
クローリーは「666の獣」を自称しましたが、この「666の獣」をシヴァ神と同一視していました。この点でもニーチェとクローリーは共通します。
Crowley described himself [ A beast 666 ] , he had identified this [ A beast 666 ] and Shiva.For also this point , Nietzeche and Crowley had a common understanding.
「ディオニュソス的」というのは、まず1つに、良い意味で自我がないことであるかと思います。「もう酔っ払って「自分」なんか無くしてしまえ!その「自分が、自分が」という「自我」の制約を解除すれば、完璧なもの(内在神)が出てきて完璧な行動をするのだ!既に完璧な意志と欲を持っているのだ!良い意味で頭の拘束(理性)をはずせ!」みたいな。

旧約聖書ではアダムとイブが「知恵の木(善悪の知識の木)の実」を食べると自分たちが裸なのを恥ずかしがった、とありますが、「(象徴的な意味で)裸になってしまえ!抑制するな!」みたいな。「善悪の知識の木の実を吐き出せ!」みたいなところがあるかと思いま
す。
