Professor Francis Young is an expert in Baltic paganism and folklore and is one of the foremost English speaking scholars of the subject. Here he explains the late medieval and early modern written sources for pagan practices in Lithuania and Latvia. We discuss the Baltic gods like Žemyna and Perkunas, as well as fairies, rituals and traditions of the Balts.
Dr Young's latest book Silence of the Gods is available now from Cambridge University Press.
