The gods have ignored her warnings for long enough, and if they will not ask for her help willingly, she will find a way to force them to do so.īaba Yaga calls down her Cabin, causing it to crash onto her and launch nearby enemies away. Now, as the world shudders on its axis and new horrors rise, Baba Yaga stirs in her long isolation. And sometimes, very rarely, she helps without harm. If you are foolish enough to seek her, she might well punish you for your effrontery before aiding you, or aid you and then tear you to pieces because it amuses her to do so. But despite her inherent malevolence, she does not interfere with others without first being approached – or provoked. Regardless, she is an ugly creature with a long nose and cruel, iron teeth, and her eyes gleam with malice. Or, if you are in the woods late at night, you might see her flying overhead in her mortar and pestle and the hear the thunderous tramp of the chicken-legged house as it pursues its mistress.
If you are brave enough to pass through the fence and enter the house you will see her stretched out across the interior, looming over her stove, or reaching out from one corner to another. It is said that Baba Yaga waits for travellers in her house atop its gnarled chicken legs, behind a fence made of human bones. And there is always a price to pay for dealing with her, if you are brave enough – or desperate enough – to seek her out. Sometimes she is cruel and sometimes, kind. In the dark woods, there is a witch called Baba Yaga.
