Barstucke (Or Berstucke)

in Lithuanian mythology, was the name of certain middle beings between the subdeities and men — goblins, or gnomes. The head among them was Puschkeit, governing the earth and plants. These goblins made their abode principally under elder-bushes, which were therefore sacred to them.
