Baba Yaga’s Hut, Silver and Gold Plated Brass Pendant Necklace hand carved by Moon and Serpent Website or Etsy

Baba Yaga is one of the most famous witches in Slavic folklore. She lives deep in the forest in a hut that rests on giant chicken legs that can move around. In some stories her house doesn’t have any windows or doors. In some it has windows but no door. It is said that windows serve as eyes to watch over her domain. The fence post around the hut is built out of human bones and is topped with human skulls. 

Although she is portrayed as a terrifying old crone, Baba Yaga is also a helper and wise woman. Those who seek her wisdom, truth, and knowledge must first complete several tasks. If the tasks are completed, she will give her help. If the tasks are not fulfilled, and the seeker has not found a way to escape, she will cook and eat them.
