Hi, I know it’s been a while since you made one of these but just in case you see this I wanted to know what sources did you use for these series since I find it difficult to find consistent ones full of accumulated information and with related stories, even when searching in Lithuanian language. I’m especially curious since I’ve never heard such an interpretation of Velnias before.
Either way, just know I enjoy your content and hopefully we can see more of it soon!

I have one ring with the dominicon amber with it. An indigo person ask me about ring what she said its a kind part of a ramnant of vast castle or building belong to a sea creature . I try to search in the internet if there is a legend of a dominicon forklore then what i found is that about the perkunas story, then i realize that maybe the legend is true, speaking of the indigo lady that mention about my ring, she never knew about the legend or heard about the legend, she just say its belong to sea creature and a remnant of kind of building or castle under the sea and she sense the aura or energy that over the amber that i wore. Just sharing a story that relate to the legend😊

Is there a tradition or tale about shooting arrows towards the sky to honor the god of thunder? [Or maybe the god of war ?]
