You don't mention her reputation as an abortionist, helping women to eliminate unwanted pregnancy. In this respect she reminds me of Lilith and Kali. As well, Kali has the same skeletal appearance and ceaseless appetite. This was my attempt at drawing her: http://noisedrownssignal.deviantart.com/art/first-photomanip-baba-yaga-33674321 Introduced to Baba Yaga by Joan Aitken, I have a weakness for her: particularly because of her hut.

I LOVE Baba Yaga! I used to read Baba Yaga stories in Highlights when I was a child. I always loved those dangerous old women who help the worthy--according to a given value of "worthy". (I feature one in my unpublished fantasy, SAGE, in fact.) It was great to read this comprehensive overview of one of my favorite folk figures. :) Thanks for this post. I LOVE Baba Yaga!
