Laima was the Baltic goddess of good luck. Originally she and her sisters Karta and Dekla controlled the destinies of all living things, and her particular function was to choose the moment of death. She specialized in protecting women, from the moment when they were conceived, through their birth, growing up and marriage to the point where they had children of their own. Research Laima
