Verbti is a deity of storm and fire in northern Albanian mythology. His name means "the blind one". He was also known as Shën Verbti ("the holy blind one") or, in some parts of Albania, as Rmoria.

History and personality

Verbti is depicted as a deity who hates uncleanliness and bad ways of speaking. With the coming of Christianity in Albania, Verbti was demonized and it was spread about that anyone who invoked him would go blind.
