Saulė is the Sun in Lithuanian, treated as a feminine deity in Lithuanian mythology. Some mythologists reconstruct her as one of most powerful deities. According to them, Saulė is goddess of life and prolificacy. She provides the warmth of nature, and fertility. She is patroness of all misfortunates, especially orphans, since she is the only substitute of a mother’s warmth, and because of this, she is known as the Universal Mother. The word for “world” is “pasaulis” and it is translated as “under the sun”. Souls of the dead travel with Saulė to the underworld, which people believed is behind the horizon. It was considered an offence to point at the Sun or Moon because of their association with the God and Goddess. It was said that bas spirits sleep when Saulė is shining in the sky.
Saulė and Mėnulis were husband and wife and their daughter was Žemė, the Earth. The two were divorced, over the Moon’s inability to stay faithful to his wife. Mėnulis felt in love with daughter of Saulė and Perkūnas — Aušrinė. This is why the Sun shines during the day and the Moon at night. Though divorced, both want to see their daughter. Saulė's daughters: Aušrinė (Aušrinė (the Morning star) who burnt the fire for Saulė and made her ready for another day's journey. Aušrinė was a maiden of remarkable beauty with golden hair and an image of the Saulė on her crown. She wore a starry mantle with a moon-shaped brooch on her shoulder and was often considered to be even more beautiful than the Sun herself), Vakarinė (the evening Venus), Indraja (Jupiter), Sėlija (Saturn), Žiezdrė (Mars), Vaivora (Mercury), Vakarinė (who makes the bed for Saulė). They were 6 eldest daughters. 3 of them were living between people and 3 were shining in the sky (look Žvaigždės). Ašvieniai, sons of Dievas, spooned to Saulė. One of them was black horse — sunrise, and one was a yellowish afterglow.
In folk songs Saulė is associated with stag that has nine horns, and this motif is frequently portrayed in folk art, clothing and ornamentation.
