Step beyond the veil of the modern world and into the ancient forest where the winds whisper secrets and shadows guard forbidden truths. In Baba Yaga: The Bone Witch of the Forest, bestselling folklore author Aisling Morrìgan takes you on a spellbinding journey into one of the darkest, most misunderstood figures in Slavic mythology.
Baba Yaga is no fairytale witch-she is a bone-churning, soul-judging spirit of nature, death, and transformation. Feared and revered for centuries, she dwells in a hut with chicken legs, surrounded by a fence of glowing skulls. Her power is ancient. Her knowledge is unmatched. And her truth is not what you've been told.
This meticulously researched book explores:
The true historical and cultural origins of Baba Yaga
Her role as a guardian of liminal spaces and the underworld
The connection to ancient Slavic shamanism, death rituals, and ancestral witchcraft
Her place within the Triple Goddess archetype as the Crone of power and prophecy
Rare legends, oral traditions, and suppressed spiritual truths
From her roots in pre-Christian spirituality to her symbolic evolution across centuries of folklore, this is the definitive guide for readers who seek mystical truth, cultural depth, and the eerie beauty of real dark legend.
Perfect for lovers of mythology, witchcraft, cultural anthropology, and the haunting power of feminine archetypes, Baba Yaga: The Bone Witch of the Forest is not just a book-it's an initiation.
Enter her forest... if you dare.
