Those who seek her wisdom, truth, and knowledge must first complete several tasks. The Slavic witch has the power to help or hurt anyone who crosses her path. The Malleus Maleficarum Witch Hunters’ Handbook
Baba Yaga has a frightening ability to remove her hands from her body so she can have them do her bidding. In other versions of the tale, she flies around on a traditional witch broom. The broom wipes away all of her trails so that no one can find her. The pestle also works like a rudder that steers the mortar as she flies around. When flying, she holds the pestle in her right hand and a broom in her left. Most stories tell us that she rides around the forest in a giant mortar and uses a pestle to grind up the bones of the people she eats. Some say that she is either a single witch or a trio of witches who all share the same name. There are various versions of the Baba Yaga witch story. With a demeanor that is powerful and highly tempestuous, she instills fear and guarded respect in everyone that encounters her. Every single body part, including her eyes, ears, feet, hands, and mouth are grotesque and deformed. The Russian witch is described as a deformed, scraggly old woman with bony legs, a very long crooked nose, piercing cold eyes, and iron teeth. The word means horror and shudder in Serbian and Croatian, anger in Slovenian, witch in old Czech, wicked wood nymph in Modern Czech, witch and fury in Polish, and serpent or snake in Sanskrit. Yaga or Iaga has no definitive scholarly consensus. Baba has been translated as old woman, hag, or grandmother, depending on which Slavic language is being referenced. The first written reference to her was in 1755 in Mikhail W. The Russian Baba witch riding on her mortar, carrying her broom in one hand and a child in the other.
