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

We often speak of the gods as Extended Family, what exactly do we mean? Just that, the Gods are our family. Divine progenitors, ascended ancestors, and the exact relation just like family to family would shift tribe to tribe. The "Father" of the tribe among the gods would differ from village to village, same with the Mother, different spirits may have arisen or partnered with us area to area, lineage to lineage. There is a bit of the divine in all of us, each of us in a way is ethereal in part. We are effectively "Baby Gods", divine beings unable to fully access the beyond, but we can enjoy and love life and all the beauty it brings. When we speak of the gods we are not speaking of some separate creature or universal concept. We speak of ancient divine family some always gods others risen from infancy within us and the most beautiful part is in the end we cannot tell the difference. Our gods are ours as much as our Great Grandmother is ours We are a product of their divine spirit.-TLK
