lithuanian mythology: dalia
dalia is the giver and taker of goods and property. she is often confused with and hard to distinguish from laima, another goddess of fate. sometimes dalia is thought of as a different manifestation of laima. however, laima is more involved in predicting the length of a person's life while dalia is more concerned with material wealth a person would earn during the lifetime – allotting a proper share to everyone.
