| | Latvian mythology |
| | This was established to strengthen the Latvian identity through a Latvian religion supposedly coming from the glorious ancient past, intended as strictly national, but at the same time very similar to the neo-paganism known in the rest of the world. | | | It is of greater use to say that in 1925 a revivalist religion based on folklore - Dievturiba - was established in Latvia and it was done by a man of strong character and strong national passion - Ernests Brastins (1892-1942). | | | Wilhelm Mannhardt is the greatest of the world's well-known scholars having ever dealt with the Baltic mythologies including that of Latvians. |
