Meaning & History
The Vitore is a household deity in Albanian mythology and folklore, usually depicted as a small, colourful and benign golden horned serpent and associated with human destiny and good fortune. The name itself is said to be derived from Albanian vegjë (via vektare and vejtare) "loom", thus meaning "a spinster, a woman who spins", related to the weaving of fate.
