Baltic Mythology
Lithuanian and Latvian Gods, Goddesses, Folklore, and Europe's Last Pagan Traditions
Author: Prof. Laima Perkēnaitē
Before the Norse. Before the Greeks. Before the Celts faded into legend - Europe's last pagans still walked among the gods.
Deep in the ancient forests of the Baltic lands, where sacred oaks stretched toward storm-filled skies and amber gleamed like tears of the gods, a remarkable civilization refused to surrender its beliefs. While the rest of Europe knelt before new faiths, the Lithuanians and Latvians kept their sacred fires burning - making Baltic mythology one of the longest-surviving spiritual traditions in human history.
But who were their gods? What did they believe? And why has this extraordinary mythology been overshadowed for so long?
Baltic Mythology pulls back the veil on this forgotten world. Meet Perkūnas, the thunder god who wielded lightning like divine justice. Follow Saule, the radiant sun goddess driving her golden chariot across the heavens. Feel the hand of Laima shaping your fate, and walk carefully near the realm of Velnias, cunning guardian of the underworld.
Spanning 15 richly researched chapters, Prof. Laima Perkēnaitē explores the full pantheon, sacred folklore, ancient symbols, and the living legacy of a tradition that still sparks revival today.
This isn't mythology you've read before - no borrowed thunder from Odin's halls.
This is Europe's best-kept spiritual secret, finally told in full.
Step into the amber-lit groves. The old gods are waiting.
