Loomine means "creation" in old Estonian. The idea that the entire cosmos was born from eggs laid by a bird is found in many ancient Baltic runic folk hymns. Eggs symbolize latent life force, fertility, and rebirth in many cultures.

"A beautiful bluebird flew into our meadow, and made a nest in a paddock. There were three bushes in the meadow: one was a blue bush, one was a red bush, the third was a golden bush. She did not care about the blue bush nor the red bush, but she was pleased with the golden bush. The bird started to build a nest there: she worked on it for a month, for a second month, for a third month, for a week in the fourth month, for a bit more in the fifth month. She started to lay eggs: she laid for a month, for second month, for a third month, for a week in the fourth month, and a bit more in the fifth month. One chick became the moon for Kurland, the second became the sun for Pärnu County, the third became the world, the fourth became the stars, and the fifth became the rainbow."
