Baba Yaga is a witch figure who flies around Slavic folk stories...and lives in a hut that stands on chicken legs deep in the woods.
Madame Pamita spoke to Religion News Service about Baba Yaga, traditional Slavic magic and how the author is using her magic to support the people of Ukraine amid Russia’s continuing invasion of the country.
"In my experience of connecting deeply to her, I see her as a grandmother figure, but a tough grandma, or like a grandma who knows you can do more than you think you can, so she pushes you.
In Slavic practices, the fire was alive, and the fire was where the ancestors were. We in the 21st century don’t have the depth of knowledge about what it means to get put in the fire. It means to go to your ancestors. So she’s sending you to the world of the spirits if she’s trying to put you in the wood stove.

"If we go back far enough, we see her as the mistress of the forest, the grandmother of the forest, the mother of the forest, as protector spirit of the forest. She’s that person who is connected to the world of the dead and the world of the living. She moves between those worlds, which is why sometimes she’s going to kill the person or she’s going to put them in the fire."

I thought this was about Hillary
That’s what Kiev has been missing !!
...lives in a hut that stands on chicken legs...
I’m sure she’s got a great personality, too.
globohomos backing ukraine approve of this satanism.
Oh yeah, this is a face you can trust (Baba Yaga).
She would probably do a brisk businesses in selling voodoo dolls of Putin.
Latrine?
This proves that Soros... I mean Ukraine... is winnnnnnnning!!!
Baba Yaga from “Father Frost”, a Russo-Finnish production from the early 60’s. MST3K/Rifftrax did a great take on it. :-)
So unless she flying around on her broomstick and knocking Russian Migs out of the sky, no big deal.
ha!
From a podcast I listened to lately, apparently Ukraine has a widespread and well-entrenched subculture of traditional witchcraft and the occult. Just like the neo-pagans we have here that tried to place a hex on President Trump, the Ukrainian witches are directing similar efforts against Putin and his invading soldiers.
Not defending their witchery nonsense but it does have the “respectability” of being around a long long time. Quite unlike our Western “I-Did-This-for-a-Renaissance-Festival-Event-&-I-Felt-So-Cool!-It-Got-Me-Laid-&-They-Have-the-Best-Weed-And-It-Makes-Mom-&-Dad-Mad!-So-It-Has-to-be-a-Religion! Right?” so-called (and self-called!) “pagans\witches” we have here!
thx
Baba Haha is more high tech. She flies around in a mortar and pestle.
Baba Yaga.
I hate spellcheck.
