"Uguns rituāls" (Fire Ritual)

I Pulcēšanās svētvietā (Gathering at the Holy Site) II Stihiju piesaukšana un ziedošana (Evocation of the Gods and Sacrifice) III Aplī iešana (Walking in a Circle) "A fire ritual among the ancient Baltic tribes usually took place four times per year-at the summer and winter solstices and at the spring and autumn equinoxes, when the day and night are equal in length. In the autumn, people gave thanks for the harvest, but in the winter they sank into contemplation, burning away all negative energy and emotions and illnesses. In the spring they sought to cleanse themselves and prayed for successin working the land, and in the summer they prayed fo the sun." (Indra Riše)
