Ragana, also known as Rage and at times as the Plural Raganos is a Baltic goddess. She is known to shapeshift especially into an Owl and fly around the Baltic at night. Witches are known as Raganos in Baltic mythology and they are keepers of balance often turning people into stones and animals who are greedy or otherwise upset the balance. Ragana is also said to govern fertility and personally weakens the sun after the Summer Solstice in order to keep the sun from growing too strong and burning the earth, she also governs lactation and menstruation as part of her Fertility aspects and will take them away as punishment, both for animals and women. She is also associated with the moon perhaps crescent but some argue that it is the Full Moon and the lack of Full moon. She is also said to be a master healer who can cure any ailment with her red wand. In Latvia Ragana is less prominent but the spirits/witches known as Raganos are very present functioning as more malevolent figures than as a goddess. -TLK

The Idea of the Supernatural and Natural being separate is a recent idea. In reality many animals, plants, and occurrences were once relegated to the realm of fantasy. The only thing that relegates spirits, gods, magic and all the things people regard as Supernatural is that we do not recognize them, that they do not seem to comply with our own standards of what is natural. It may seem impossible to imagine an Elephant or a Lantern Fish, or shimmering caves, raining fish, and rocks that make more of themselves but these all exist. Our ancestors once made no delineation between the natural and supernatural. If the water speaks, if a ghost appears, if a tree rises up and walks around none of this would be supernatural. Magical? perhaps, but when the whole of the world is magical why separate the uncommon and odd from what people would find normal? In this way we deny ourselves the everyday magic and wonder all around us, the kind we once saw so readily as children.

An interesting conception in the Lore is that of Incarnations or the Gods in Human form. One Notable example that I have seen Buzz of is that of Tesla being an incarnation of Perun. Combining the high intellect, Wisdom of the stars, lightning symbolism, and the love of birds I can see where that comes from. It's also possible that Tesla was merely a seer or a great man far ahead of his time. Incarnation, Apotheosis, Seer, or hero? time will tell.

Jumis is an important god of the Harvest in Latvia, unlike most gods in modern European paganism Jumis has maintained his rather amorphous quality and has not truly been anthropomorphized. He is said to live in the fields often sleeping under a rock. The last sheaf of grain would be bound and kept in a barn or left in the field for him to live in. His holiday was the Autumnal Equinox AKA Miķeļi in Latvia. Animals such as Frogs, Mice and other critters living in the last sheaf were considered the creatures of Jumis. The tradition of the sheaf of grain left weighed down in the field is referred to as "Catching Jumis" as he is not given human form typically Jumis is symbolized with two crossed signs of grain.-TLK
