The way that Lizdeika is put into the eagle nest to avoid the killing by his brother sounds very mythic, sharing elements of the story of Moses, for example, who gets put into the reed boat/basket and floated down the river by his mother and is discovered by the Pharoah's daughter.

In ancient times many Lithuanian people had stronger connection with animal and bird powers – they knew their forests very well and how to communicate with environment around them and use its knowledge.<br /><br />Enjoy your trip to Baltics!Marija Kisieliutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210090793915565779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-62586756289578636872011-04-13T10:57:49.095-04:002011-04-13T10:57:49.095-04:00Cindy - I like your dream!

I suspect there is a shamanic story here as well, to do with his connection with the birds and the animal powers. I think of legends of Merlin (whose name is that of the merlin falcon) including one in which, when he is very old, he withdraws into an "esplumoir", the place where the falcon goes to shed its own feathers and grow new ones.Robert Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231870716685877709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-18512050730142325452011-04-11T17:13:52.379-04:002011-04-11T17:13:52.379-04:00Hi Robert,
I recently read about Lizdeika in '...Hi Robert,<br /><br />I recently read about Lizdeika in 'Legends of Vilnius'. The legend of LIzdeika gives us two stories how he ended up in the nest.<br /><br />1. His father was a great priest of Lithuania (Krive Krivaitis) at a time. His wife died young leaving him without children. He fell in love with another woman but couldn't marry her, however had a baby, which he knew he couldn't take care of as it was a great sin to have children and not be married. Knowing that great duke of Lithuania was hunting in those forests, he put his only son in the nest in one of the trees and when the duke found him, he was the first to explain that this is the child from God who will do much good to Lithuania in the future if Krive Krivaitis was to take care of him. In this way father got to take care of his child and later that child took farther's place as the great priest of Lithuania – Lizdeika.<br />The origin of the name Lizdeika is the word 'lizdas' which means 'nest'.<br />2. Another version is that Lizdeika was the son of Duke Narimantas. After his death his brother wanted to kill his sons. The older son ran away from Lithuania and the younger one was put into the nest by his nanny. Later the great priest started taking care of the child and named him Lizdeika, and told Lizdeika the story of his origin and his family. Later Lizdeika became the great priest of Lithuania. He was a really wise man and explained many important dreams in Lithuania.Marija Kisieliutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210090793915565779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925549664214256461.post-45837485908747933842011-04-10T11:37:28.478-04:002011-04-10T11:37:28.478-04:00Eileen
