Baba Yaga

Baba Yaga, (Russian: Баба Яга) is a supernatural being (or a member of the trio of sisters of the same name) from slave folklore who appears as a deformed and/or fierce-looking woman. Baba Yaga flies in a mortar, holding a pestle, and dwells in a hut in the deep forest that is said to stand on chicken legs (or sometimes a single chicken leg). Baba Yaga can help or hinder those who find her and seek her. She sometimes has a maternal role, and also has associations with the wildlife of the forest. According to the morphology of Vladimir Propp's folk legends, Baba Yaga appears either as a donor or a villain, or can simultaneously ambiguously.

Andreas Johns identifies Baba Yaga as "one of the most memorable and distinctive figures in Slavic European folklore", noting that she is "enigmatic" and at times exhibits a "shocking ambiguity". Johns describes her as a "many-faced figure, capable of inspiring researchers to view her as a Cloud, Moon, Death, Winter, Serpent, Bird, Pelican or Earth Goddess, ancestor totemic matriarchal, initiator, phallic mother, or archetypal image.
