	Laima Summary
		Clearly, Laima was one of the most rigid and extreme of the goddesses of destiny, and the extent of her radicalism was demonstrated by her inability to alter her own decisions.
		Laima and her sisters, Karta and Dekla, were a trinity of fate deities, part of a widespread European and Aegean conception of Destiny in the hands of three ageless ancient women, like the Norns or the Moirae.
		Laima’s altar is a stone with a woman’s proportions.

	Laima
		Laima is the deity of fate, the personification of it, whether as luck or as bad luck.
		Frequently mentioned together in the song texts with Dievs, in some cases God's horses are outside her door (meaning suitors arriving at a maiden's house), but it is a very weak motif among those of the heavenly wedding.
		She is the central one of the alleged trinity of Laimas or destiny deities, together with her sisters Karta and Dekla.

		With an assist from Latvia's lady luck, the third time was the charm for an Aerosonde miniature robotic airplane and its developers in their bid to complete the first trans-Atlantic crossing by an autonomous aircraft.
		"The third time was the charm, and apparently we needed Laima," added Juris Vagners, UW professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics, who was unable to join the field crews for the trans-Atlantic mission but named what turned out to be the record-setting plane in honor of his Latvian heritage.
		Laima took off from Bell Island Thursday morning and was tracked via computer for about 25 miles along its northeasterly route before flying beyond communication range.

	Laima
		By 1938 the factory Laima could have been surely called an empire of sweets: high quality chocolate, candy, cocoa, squish were made on modern foreign machinery and exported in large quantities.
		In spite the competition among 29 sweets manufacturers, Laima was a recognized leader occupying 39% of the market of sweets in Latvia and 79% of the export market.
		Today, as decades ago, Laima faces high competition from foreign manufacturers, but people of Riga and Latvia do not change their tastes and stay faithful to their favourite sweets.

		The Graeae can be compared with the three spinners of Destiny (the Moirae), the northern European Norns, or the Baltic goddess Laima and her two sisters.
		In Latvian mythology and Lithuanian mythology, Laima (luck; also Laime, Laimas māte) was the personification of fate and of luck, both good and bad.
		The Graeae took the form of three grey-haired old women, though poets might give them the euphemistic designation "beautiful." Their age was so great that a childhood for them was hardly conceivable.

		FORM OF WORSHIP: During a birth the grandmother or midwife leaves out mats, towels and other woven materials for Laima, in honor of the way she she is about to weave the life of the baby being born.
		DETAILES: Latvian Pagan beliefs are among the oldest in the world, and one of the most powerful deities in that system is the Goddess Laima, whose name is said to be taken from the Latvian word laime, which means luck, however I think it more likely that the word for luck comes from her.
		She simple not be done away with, the people will not let that happen, it seems that while for ages Mother Laima has named the fates of the people of this Balkan nation, the Latvian people have returned the compliment by saying that her fate will not be dictated by outsiders.
