The Plant in the Mythology

چکیده
Plants played an important role in the mythology of Baltic tribes. The plants are mentioned in the sources of religion and mythology, mythological sagas, fairytales, proverbs, believes and magical rituals. In the written sources the worshiping of natural objects as well as phenomenons (sky-lights, earth, fire, water, thunder, plants, animals and even rocks) are often mentioned. The worshipings of natural objects and phenomenons is a characteristic feature to most of the older religions. It‘s actually conected to the religion itself and the mythology [1]. It’s a tradition of the Indo-Europeans. We examine the common features of plants and deities, the sameness or similarity of plant names, variety in their application, and plant use for fabula construction. Similarities between mythological and natural objects allow us to describe the world outlook and emotional attitude of the Balts.
