| 3 | ENT_BALT_LAIMA | Laima | Baltic | Fate Deity | fate; luck; birth; death; weaving; cuckoo omens | Fate goddess of the Baltic tradition; Lithuanian Laima, Latvian Laima (from Latvian laime, luck). Laima determines the fate of each person at birth and death; she appears as a cuckoo whose calls predict the years of life remaining. Laima is sometimes paired with Dievas in the cosmic dispensing of fate, and sometimes with Dievas and Perkūnas as part of a fate-determining triad. She weaves or spins the thread of fate and is associated with the cuckoo, the linden tree, and the morning star. Gimbutas (1963) pp. 202-203; Greimas (1992) pp. 153-185. |
