The Gods Of Slavic and Baltic Mythology

Introduction

A very strange range of Gods ruling from Poland to the Baltic, the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the Ukraine.

From simple do-it-yourself Gods of Digging A Hole In The Ground to ones with three silver heads and a golden veil in a temple full of wealth, they cover a lot of ground.

The very word 'Deity' may actually be of Baltic origin, deriving from the God DIEVAS, who has to be the all-time definitive deity.

To our delight we have had information that the Gods of Lithuania are alive and well, and being worshipped under the mantle of Romuva. Furthermore the habit has now spread to America.

If you pore over ancient maps and peer into history books you will find Lithuania has always done its own thing.

The last country in Europe to accept Christianity, Lithuania managed to keep its own language, not get pole-axed by the Poles, or be pushed out by Prussia. It still retained its own customs and identity, even as a republic of Russia. The boundaries once spread from the Baltic to the Black Sea, including the Ukraine and large chunks of Western Russia. So now you know.
