LAIMA

Latvian Destiny Goddess

Also known as Laima-Dalia, Laimas-Mate

Goddess of Fate and Pregnancy

She is one of the three Latvian goddesses of destiny. Actually she is the only one who really does much destinying.

She protects unborn children and can foretell their future. But as soon as she utters her prophecy, the child’s future is fixed and cannot be altered. So she is also a Goddess of Fatalistic Determinism.

Over in Lithuania she seems to be known as Laimė.
