Baba Tomor is seen as an old man with a long white beard flowing down to his belt. According to some scholars deity of Tomor has precedents in the Illyrian times.[2] He is accompanied by two female eagles and the winds are his servants.[2] His consort was a mysterious goddess referred to as Bukura e dheut.
Legacy
The cult of Tomor has been linked to romantic nationalism by many Rilindas.[3] In 1902, Andon Zako Çajupi, a notable Albanian rilindas, published in Cairo an anthology called Baba-Tomorri ("Father Tomorr"). Even today, Albanian peasants swear by him.[1]
