In ancient Lithuanian folklore, the Aitvaras is no ordinary spirit. Shifting from a glowing, meteor-tailed rooster indoors to a fiery serpentine dragon outside, this enigmatic creature brings both fortune and chaos. Born from mysterious origins—whether a rare rooster’s egg or a black stallion’s testicle—the Aitvaras sneaks into homes, filling coffers with stolen riches from neighbors. But this stolen prosperity breeds suspicion, envy, and sometimes disaster. Nearly invincible and impossible to banish, its presence warns of the fine line between luck and curse, and the hidden costs of sudden wealth. This episode unpacks the paradox of the Aitvaras: a magical guardian, a thief, and a symbol of the unpredictable price of fortune.
