Where to learn about Lithuanian paganism?

One aspect of my "heritage" as a witch that I'm proud of is my Lithuanian ancestry, which was one of the last countries in Europe to convert to Christianity. I'd love to learn more about the pagan practices and beliefs of my ancestors, however, I'm not sure where to start, and was wondering if anyone here would have some recommendations? Thank you in advance for any replies.

Google search Lithuanian paganism and see the first page search results links plenty of reading there.
The wikipedia mythology page about Lithuania is also interesting reading and from things there search further on.
Library might have books on it.
When I still used to buy books online never see much specific country paganism books at least not in english.
Also try searching books on Amazon. Maybe GoodReads for book reviews.
Try youtube search videos specific to Lithuania paganism.

www.sacred-texts.com has some little stories poem
see Lithuania of the fragrant amber
scroll down https://sacred-texts.com/neu/bw/index.htm

I was wearing amber jewelry today bought in Germany years ago might be from the baltic areas. My travel days are in the past.

Near sea and in woods look for things from nature to take home.
Study local herbs. A herb guide of your country. Folklore of herbs.
