Jumis - (from root jum- roof-) was a god of sky and fertility. He is associated with “double-plants”, such as two crop stalks or trees which have grown together and share a trunk or stem. In order to preserve Jumis’ growth in the winter months, during the harvesting a few ears are bent to the ground and secured there with stones.
During Miķeli (a festival held between September 22-24), a ritual called the “Catching of Jumis” is performed. It involves a procession that carries some grains (symbol of "captured" Jumis) home, thereby ensuring the following year's harvest will be at least as successful. He is depicted as a short man with clothes that resemble ears of wheat, hops and barley. (source: Wikipedia)
