Cerklicing

In Latvian mythology, Cerklicing was a fertility god, associated with agriculture and farmers. The Jesuit Joannis Stribingius discussed Cerklicing when he went to eastern Latvia in 1606. The deities are therein described by the word "pop". The first bite of any food, and the first drop of any drink, was given to this deity.
