The Family of Herba Devynia<br />
The secrets of nature. Bottled and served
The Legend<br />
Bitter “Herba Devynia” is one of the most mysterious drinks made in<br />
Lithuania. Some historic sources explain this by a legend that reaches<br />
as far ago as the middle ages and triggers the imagination of nowadays<br />
consumer.<br />
The legend tells <strong>about</strong> the ancient priests that used to gather specific<br />
sort of herbs, desiccate them in a special manner and keep them within<br />
spirit for three weeks. The interesting fact is that the first day was<br />
necessarily chosen to be the longest day of the year, and the drink was<br />
kept only outside in the nature. This was the way to gather as much of<br />
natural powers as possible – not only from the herbs, but also the fresh<br />
vital air and the ever-shining Sun.<br />
The drink that was produced was known for its special powers – the<br />
healing characteristics and the strength it provided. Therefore it was<br />
mainly consumed by the great warriors that the Baltic lands needed a<br />
lot back in those days.
The Legend<br />
Only later, after the secret of the recipe has been revealed by others, it appeared that<br />
there was no coincidence in the supernatural features of the drink. Apparently, what<br />
is made in a special way, gives a special out<strong>com</strong>e.<br />
The uniqueness of this drink lays in the so-called “rhythm of three”. It originates<br />
from the division of the world into three elements: water, sky and earth. Apart from<br />
the number of the weeks the drink used to be matured for (three, of course), the<br />
mostly surprising thing is the <strong>com</strong>position of ingredients. It is undoubtedly related<br />
to the pagan image of the world, as the drink contains elements corresponding the<br />
three spheres of the mythological world: roots (the Underground), bark and herbs<br />
(the Ground), and leaves, blossoms and fruits (the Sky).<br />
And who knows what kind of spells where used to make the “Herba Devynia” so<br />
magical, and what kind of fairies and elves used to help the ancient priests…<br />
And where else could have probably the oldest bitter in the world been created?<br />
Only in the country known for persistence of keeping paganism for the longest in<br />
Europe. In Lithuania.
