God of The Roads

Postcard by Lithuanian artist Jurga Creations, 20×20

God of Roads is the god of the road, patron of travels. There were certain stones lying beside the road, dedicated to the god of the road. No one dared to sit on such a stone without first saying a prayer to the god. It was believed that the stone would otherwise move out from under the sitter. A white hen was sacrificed to him.

“My works are for people who, like me, are fascinated by the mysterious stories that have come down to us from the past and the old gods. For those who are always watching with one eye to see if they see any hidden inhabitants of forests, lakes or caves mentioned in myths and legends; who like to walk quietly in the woods without looking at their phone screens and discover unexpected secrets under fallen leaves and tangled branches. I never miss an opportunity to visit archeological sites or places about which there are rumors and stories, because it gives inspiration for new works. I hope you will have as much fun looking at my work as I had fun creating it.”- says the artist.
