La Baba Yaga

Baba Yaga is a famous figure from Slavic folklore, often depicted as a mysterious, powerful witch or sorceress. She typically appears as an old woman with a fearsome appearance, living in a hut that stands on chicken legs, which can move or hide at times. Baba Yaga can be both helper and obstacle, testing heroes or offering aid in exchange for tasks. She embodies complex qualities—wisdom, danger, and natural forces—symbolizing the wild aspects of nature and the mysteries of life in Slavic mythology.
