  liber paganum, part P
Perkunos (Prussian/Latvian/Slavic) God of thunder, storms, sun and snow, of fire in both its warming and destructive aspects; of mighty stature, head of the pantheon at the side of Pikullos and Potrimpos, son of Perkuna tete.
Perkunos speaks with thunder; to be struck by lightning is the highest possible sanctification and leads to being accepted among the gods as one of their own.
Counted second in the trias of high gods with Pikullos and Perkunos, he seems to be the opposite of Perkunos, and their statues stand facing each other.

 Elements of Old Prussian Mythology in Gunter Grass' DOG YEARS - Rimvydas Sliazas
Perkunos, often compared to Jupiter,11 was the Prussian and Lithuanian god of thunder and lightning, in that sense a destructive deity.
Modern research into the superstitions and folklore of the Baits revealed that Perkunos was also a beneficial god who awakened the earth in spring 22 and was a severe but just judge.
Grass must have chosen the name "Kriwe" for the wise old man in the novel purposely: A "criwe" was the highest priest or "sa-crificus" of the pagan Prussians,24 a fact recorded already in 1326.

 Northvegr - Grimm's TM - Chap. 8
To the Norse mind indeed, Thor's victories and his battle with the giants have thrown his peaceful office quite into the shade.
Nevertheless to Wuotan's mightiest son, whose mother is Earth herself, and who is also named Perkunos, we must, if only for his lineage sake, allow a direct relation to Agriculture.
He clears up the atmosphere, he sends fertilizing showers, and his sacred tree supplies the nutritious acorn.

I grab it and ask the beer manager if he’ll sell it to me, he says $1.99, and that he had an Old Salty as well for the same price.
I walk into Shawan Liquor (Baltimore area) today, and at the back of one of the coolers is a partially hidden bottle of Heavyweight Perkunos Hammer...
God, at those prices, how could you say no? If nothing else you both feel like you did each other a favor and you’ll look forward to doing business again--even if that Perkuno’s was the only drinkable beer of the bunch (which it sounds like it wasn’t).

 Northvegr - Grimm's TM - Vol. 4 Preface
If now we look from these heathen myths to those in a christian dress and of a later time, the connexion between them can be no enigma: that of Perkunos changing into the Saviour has already set us the key.
Either Christ and Peter journey out together, or one of the two alone; the fable itself turns about in more than one direction.
This recalls not only Perkunos with the horse and ox, but the norns or fays passing through the land in the legend quoted on p.

 Heathen Harvest - Reviews: Skyforger - Zobena Dziesma / Sword Song
Needless to say, I was overjoyed when they announced this album, which consists entirely of acoustic reworked versions of some older SKYFORGER songs as well as traditionals.
Among them are several hymns to Perkunos, the Baltic deity of thunder and fertility, analogous to the Norse Thor, as well as a lot of songs about horses, the traditional warrior’s best friend in battle.
The instrumentation consists of giga, a Latvian instrument that is a forerunner of the cello, kokle, an 11-string Latvian hybrid of harp and guitar, acoustic guitar, various flutes, bagpipes, mouth harp and ‘wardrums.’

Victory Baltic Thunder: Heavyweight Brewing Co.'s Perkuno's Hammer Lives!
Well, Victory struck a deal with the now defunct Heavyweight Brewing Company a while ago to brew and sell their Perkuno's Hammer under the Victory label.
Distributors with rights to Heavyweight Distribution made a big stink about this (rant about distribution later), since they felt they still had the rights to distribute this beer.
