Zemyna and Mat Zemlya are cognate earth mother deities from shared Proto-Balto-Slavic tradition, both revered as the living earth personified and invoked with libations and ritual apology before plowing.
Dievas and Zemyna form the primordial sky-earth pair in Baltic cosmology, invoked together in Lithuanian prayers and libations where offerings to the earth mother accompany appeals to the sky father.
