Lithuanian Mythology #3 - Lada

A great oak on the Ladakalnis hill, which rises 175 m above sea level, it is high enough compared to surrounding landscape to give you a view of 6 different lakes. It is thought to have been a sacrificial place for a pagan deity Goddesss Lada, the primordial Great Mother, wife of supreme god Dievas. She gave birth to the first-born twins in the shape of horses, who are related to the fire of the sky - the Sun and lightning.
