Jumis (Baltic Symbol)

 The symbol of Jumis (Yoo-mis) represents the Baltic Pagan God who personified the harvest. Jumis is the sign of fertility and good fortune, and is often found on clothing and decorative painting. Jumis sign looks like two crossed hooks or the letter W. The symbol of Jumis has been found on very old items, also on saint rocks. The analysis of the languages of ancient Indo-European nations suggests that concept of this sign can be explained as to hold together, to hold, paired off, a twin. The other explanation is to bind, to make, a roof, a connection.
