The Witch

Laumės are the oldest know goddesses in Lithuanian mythology. They are guardians of the forest and the orphans, brought to Earth to share human fate due to having too much compassion for them. They would sometimes bring material goods to women and children, but they were also considered very dangerous. They were especially hostile towards men. If they met one at night, they tickled the poor guy to death. They would also steal unattended children even if you left the baby for just a second and transform them into children of their own.
