V.Hags - Baba Yaga

The very name of Baba Yaga from the proto-Slavic word "witch" was to be associated with horror, torment, threat and, of course, with the colloquial name "witch", which describes naughty old ladies.Baba Yaga is located in the middle of the forest - here was supposed to be her famous mythical house on crow's feet. She was accompanied by a black cat, although some legends mention a crow, a snake or an owl.What did she look like? Like a witch, of course: a short, hideous old woman with sagging breasts and poor eyesight. She fed on young children who got lost in the forest. First, she kept them in a cage and fattened them, and when they were fluffy and tasty enough, she baked them in the oven. Not only Polish children were afraid of her - witches are present in almost all Indo-European mythologies.
