...we understand that we are now in the underworld, and everything in the Underworld is a mirror opposite of things in our world. In our world, doors face the light, but doors in the Underworld face the darkest part of the forest. Houses on earth stand still; but here the houses turn, for we are dizzy now; we are not in 'our right mind,' we are spinning as certain shamans spin in trance when they visit the other worlds, or certain dervishes whirl when they want to see what can't be seen.

Robert Bly on Baba Yaga's Hut

Ariel Hawksquill in John Crowley's 'Little, Big'
