Baba Yaga [Slavic Folklore]

from Out of the Average Hosted by Meghan Pavlovsky and Allison Varca

This week, Allison covers the ambiguous mythological figure of Baba Yaga from Slavic Folklore. She's been seen and depicted in multiple different kinds of media, although is she really as "wicked" as they say? Allison explains where she had come to learn of Baba Yaga, briefly described her mythology, and then recounts two similar stories where Baba Yaga is the main antagonist - "Vasilisa the Beautiful" and "Baba Yaga and Natasha." Happy Listening, Friends! Recorded and Edited By Allison Varca and Meghan Pavlovsky. Music Credits to Michael Vontas.
