Deep in seething Russian forest, where wolves howl and children scream, Baba Yaga slinks around in her mortar and pestle, searching for bones and souls to grind. At times a lone terror, at others a trio of sisters, Baba Yaga may offer you maternal guidance or may eat you alive – she decides what you deserve. With a nose that sticks to the ceiling of a house that runs about on chicken legs, Baba Yaga is a ambivalent and striking being that appears in East Slavic folklore, first recorded in Mikhail V. Lomonosov's Rossiiskaia Grammatika.
