ENT_BALT_ZEMYNA Žemyna   Baltic earth goddess Earth Deity earth; agriculture; fertility; ancestors; libations       A           Earth goddess; Lithuanian Žemyna (from žemė, earth; cognate with Latvian Zemes māte, Mother Earth). Žemyna receives the first and last libation at every meal, poured on the earth. She is the mother of the living and the receiving earth for the dead; prayers address her as Žemyna rūpintojėlė (caring Žemyna). Latvian tradition elaborates her as Zemes māte (Mother Earth) and multiplies her into a family of specialized earth-mothers governing fields, forests, water, and graves.
