List Of Lithuanian Gods and Goddesses PDF

In this pdf file you will find a list of Lithuanian gods and goddesses.

Lithuanian mythology is the collection of myths and folk tales that are unique to the Lithuanian people. It primarily revolves around the worship of a pantheon of deities and nature spirits, as well as various mythical creatures. Central to Lithuanian mythology is the Supreme God, known as Dievas, who is viewed as the creator and ruler of the universe. Dievas is associated with the sky, thunder, and lightning, and is often depicted as an old man with a hammer or an axe.

Another important deity in Lithuanian mythology is Perkūnas, the god of thunder and rain. Perkūnas is often depicted as a strong and fierce warrior, wielding an axe and riding a chariot driven by two goats. He is worshipped for his ability to bring rain and ensure a good harvest.

Lithuanian mythology also includes a rich collection of mythical creatures and legendary heroes. These include the Aitvaras (a household spirit that brings wealth and protection), the Rugiubogis (a black dog that brings bad luck), and the Kaukas (a forest spirit that causes the forest to tremble).

The myths and tales of Lithuanian mythology were traditionally passed down orally through generations. However, with the Christianization of Lithuania in the 14th century, many of these stories were suppressed and forgotten. In recent times, there has been a revival of interest in Lithuanian mythology, with efforts made to preserve and revive these ancient beliefs and stories.
