I love how much art in this video comes from Mignola, his treatment of folklore character is amazing.

My late mother was from that part of the world. She adapted the story to our reality telling us she was out there on the fire escape!

We had a Russian Folk Tales book as kids, & my sister & I still love them & read them over the phone when the other is feeling down 🙂

Only disappointment is not a shout out to the band Slaughter to Prevail and their newest song Baba Yaga 😂

Searched it up for Slaughter To Prevail. Ended up staying for the spooky stories

Baba Yaga, the Boney Legged, the Witch was in a Book of Old Peter's Russian Tales my mother used to read to my sister and I. My mom inherited a first edition copy that was printed just after the turn of the 19th century, I think. (or maybe just before) It is a treasured family heirloom. BY lived in a hut on Chicken Legs and rode around on a mortar and pestle. I will be interested to hear if what he says is in line with what I remember. On to the video!!

I remember talk of Baba Yaga when I was a little kid. My parents came from Poland. I don't remember any details, though.

This would have been so much better without that loud, fast music.

He's talking about Baba Yaga and I'm distracted by his sun tan. But either way, I found the myth of her quite informative.

First heard about it from playing Rise Of The Tomb Raider

Baba Roga is a name I used to tell my sister was coming after her, when we were kids were Croatian Slavic

[austinsoos]

The term yaga(young and gifted always) was coined by musician Blind Fury, a blind rap lyricist whom is both unique and skilled.

[psyclotronxx]

I remember it from childhood. Scared the shit outta me

[anjalidevi]

In the "Taking Woodstock" movie Eliot's mom gets creeped out by chicken legs. (chicken leg emoji)

[stephanieraihana]
