Description:
Baba Yaga, an archetypal figure from Slavic folklore and fairy tales, can be many widely different things: a dark goddess, a witch, a wise woman.
Baba Yaga represents an archetypal energy that intersects and interacts with the outer world as an intervention from the unconscious, bringing a new energy and change.
An encounter with an archetypal figure can be terrifying and fateful. As such a figure, Baba Yaga is frightening and powerful.
Baba Yaga is a hand of fate – she judges, she discerns. A confrontation with Baba Yaga ends in death or life. For the “right” protagonists she is helpful – based on what she sees in their heart.
