Baba Yaga is an ancient Slavic Witch of the Woods. She is an old crone holding the wisdom of the forest—which can be gentle or fierce. She usually shows up in stories about children on a quest: If they are good, if they know how to listen and pay attention, she will reward them with what they need to complete their journey. If not, though, she might shove them in her oven!

If you are on a quest of your own, dare to meet the Baba Yaga in the forest and listen to her wisdom. You might just get what you need.
