Baba Yaga - The Slavic Initiator: The Story of Vasilisa the Beautiful (Slavic Folklore Explained)

Baba Yaga is an old hag with long grey hair and sharp teeth, who flies through the air in her mortar while using the pestle as a paddle. Located deep in the forest, her hut stands on a pair of chicken legs, with human feet as bolts and human hands as hinges. It is surrounded by a fence of human bones that are topped with human skulls with eyes illuminating the darkness. Will you choose to meet her?

The AI pictures are so creepy and disturbing in this video. There're a lot of beautiful illustrations of Baba Yaga and of the Vasilisa's Tale made by real artists, I don't understand why use AI

May I ask why you are pronouncing 'Yaga' as 'Yega'?
I've never heard my Grandmother pronounce it that way.
