'Vadātājs' is an ancient Latvian mythological creature that leads people to Nowhere. As Latvia has been declared the most superstitious country in the EU, it is important to understand – what do we believe in?

A search for a contemporary Vadātājs*, and the understanding of the origins of confusion within people in the 21st century.
