This is an issue I've been working with for a while... Being recon influenced, I'm trying to recreate Baltic mythology, and in specific, I'm focusing on taking Latvian mythology and turning it into a single, unified whole.

The problem is that there isn't much written on Latvian myths, meaning that I've also had to look to Lithuanian myths for details on my Gods. It left me wondering whether I'm actually working on a Latvian mythology or just smashing two sets of beliefs together and praying for an omelet.

I've solved the problem, for the most part, by taking my queues from Lithuanian mythology where there doesn't seem to be a contradiction or impossibility. This is actually working out reasonably well. I was just wondering if anyone else had any similar problems, and if so, how did they fix them?
