Lithuanian/Latvian/Romuva Paganism

[Agaliha]

Anyone ever looked into it or is a follower of this path?
Seems interesting.

Wasn't Lithuania the last true Pagan nation before Christianity took over; i'm sure i heard this somewhere; and the Romuva movement is a remnant from it?

I thought it was one of the Scadinavian countries that was the last converted to Christianity.

To answer the question, I've looked into Slovak, Czech, Hungarian, and Eastern European paganism. Quite interesting but I think a bit different from Lithuanian. Perhaps we could compare notes?

I read something last night about how Lithuanian paganism remained the most undiluted by Christianity...or something like that.
And something about how the mythology is connected to (Proto) Indo-European mytholgy...
Eh, I was really tired :lol: last night (well technically in the early morning) I'll see if I can find that text later.

I have only looked into (Eastern) Slavic Paganism as that's my mothers ancestry.
She's half Russian/Ukrainian and half German.
I haven't really looked into anything Germanic...just never appealed to me.

Anyway, the Lithuanian and Latvian mythology is pretty interesting.
