Story Time: Dievas, God Of The Skies

Ancient Baltic tribes worshipped a sky god called Dievas (Lithuania) or Dievs (Latvia). There is not much revealed about the physical characteristics of Dievas. He was told to be a young man who dressed in silver, felt, and silken clothing and he carried a shining silver (sometimes) green sword reflecting the outlook of Baltic dukes of the past.

He was told to wear a white shirt and a grey coat. Sometimes he veiled himself so people would not consider him as a ruler. Dievas had the ability to turn himself into an old man and in that form, he visited people from house to house and from village to village giving gifts and helping them.
