​@@MadMorph baba yaga is rooted in slavic mythology and folklore, from ogress thru time she become a human female, usualy witch or some kind of sorceress. from a creature or a wich who eat kids to guardian of waters and fountains, think my generation is last generation of slavic kids who were forced to be good or baba yaga will come for you to cook you. also our grandparents trumatised us for life with both baba yaga and water man, so til oday we have irraional anxiety around wells fountains, lakes etc... here is litel about baba yaga.. it also dependes wich part of slavic region we talk, baba jaga is baba roga in croatian.. in Lithuanian and Russian mythology, she was seen as a goddess of regeneration. Furthermore, Baba Yaga was transformed into the terrifying hag in Russian folklore, a witch-like woman who rowed across the air in a mortar and pestle, using the pestle as her oar, and swept the traces of her flight with a broom Baba Yaga appears frequently in Slavic folklore, typically as an elderly female figure with a long, hooked nose and metal teeth. At turns a monstrous witch or a benevolent sorceress depending on the legend, Baba Yaga lives in a house perched atop gigantic chicken legs, surrounded by a fence made of skulls and bones. Baba Yaga, in Slavic folklore, an ogress who steals, cooks, and eats her victims, usually children. A guardian of the fountains of the water of life, she lives with two or three sisters (all known as Baba Yaga) in a forest hut that spins continually on birds' legs. Her fence is topped with human skulls. Etymology The name varies among Slavic languages. In Polish, it's spelt "Baba Jaga," and in Czech and Slovak, "Jeibaba." In the Slovene language, the words became Jaga Baba. The Russians, the Bulgarians and the Ukrainians alike transliterated it as Baba Yaga. Moreover, Baba Yaga's name is formed of two components. Baba (originally a child's name for Babushka) refers to an "older or married lady of lower social status" or simply "grandmother" in the majority of Slavic languages. Yaga (Jaga/Jagusia/Jadzia) is a diminutive variant of Jadwiga, a Slavic given name. However, some etymologists detect a relationship between the word " iaga " and Baltic phrases denoting " strength, force " or "comprehension ". This etymological meaning links Baba Yaga to positive, beneficial forces and implies that the negative names in Slavic languages that are similar to Iaga are later additions. Other etymological theories revolve around words used in Western and Southwestern Bulgaria (eza, enza, endza, iandza). The Western and Eastern Slavic words have evolved to designate bad women, witches, or witch-like beings, implying a "female demon of illness" or " illness." In West and East Slavic folklore, the demonic female entity with this name became a folktale figure and lost her dangerous aspect. Baba Yaga's description Depending on the region, the legend of Baba Yaga will differ. Most of the descriptions are highly similar in that she is an ugly old woman who is fierce or an ogress. Her prominent hooked nose and long teeth, and her long bony legs are among the traits that have been mentioned often. Baba Yaga is exceedingly emaciated and bony, like a skeleton, despite eating as much as ten men. Accordingly, in folk tales, Baba Yaga is frequently depicted as having at least some iron features, such as an iron nose, an iron leg, or iron teeth. Baba Yaga's assistants As is the case throughout myths and folklore, Baba Yaga has at her disposal some assistants. The most distinctive ones are The White Horseman, the Red Horseman, and the Black Horseman. In the tale of "Vasilisa the Fair", she names them as 'My Bright Dawn, My Red Sun, and My Dark Midnight', because they rule dawn, morning or noon, and nightfall. Other devoted servants are represented by three bodiless pairs of hands that emerge from nowhere to carry out her whims. Baba Yaga and her Hut Her house is a cabin hidden deep in the woods, difficult to spot unless a magical thread, feather, or doll points the way. The cabin has its own personality. It can move around and stands on colossal chicken legs. It has eyes in its windows and teeth in its lock. Around the hut is a post fence. The stakes are made of human bones and are topped with skulls with glowing eye sockets that illuminate the woodland. Hungry dogs, wicked geese, swans, or a black cat are frequently seen guarding the cottage. The hut has the ability to spin and move around the woods. It emits a series of blood-curdling screeches. The fate of individuals who visit her house is in their own hands in many tales. Signification and symbolism Attached to the symbolism of regeneration, Baba Yaga is typically represented as the last sheaf of corn in agricultural festivities. Nevertheless, the complexity of Baba Yaga is established by the numerous folktales, illustrations, fables and other oral accounts that have been either lost or appended with other influences, modern or pre-modern. Symbolically, she is associated with the Triune goddes found in other mythologies, usually depicted as personifying the crone aspect. This association reveals her as the goddess of life, Rebirth, the moon, time, cycles, thresholds, and nature. Thereby she can be seen as Mother Earth, too. Baba Yaga is also referred to as The Great Teacher as she guides the soul to the afterlife. She serves as a guardian between the worlds of the living and the dead; therefore, she acts as a psychopomp. She is all-seeing, all-knowing, and all-powerful. Correspondingly she is seen as The Goddess in Russian fairy tales. Another instance for Baba Yaga is her representation as a wild and untamable soul of nature. Moreover, Baba Yaga and the mythical serpent are identical figures in Slavic folklore: what is ascribed to the snake in one iteration is performed by Yaga in another. Nonetheless, in Ukraine, a witch is frequently referred to as a snake. As with a snake, she conceals the springs of living water, copper, silver, and gold, which are the sun's treasures. As a result, she is able to summon either terrible or fine weather at will. Iron is also associated with Baba Yaga and her equivalents. Additionally, Baba Yaga's role as mistress of the forests, birds, and animals has also been considered. Not just beings, but also natural elements, are subservient to her command. She "hisses like a snake," "roars like a beast," and has the ability to transform into various animals, reaching impressive sizes. Consequently, it is said that Baba Yaga has two other sisters, who are also Baba Yagas who live in Her hut. Baba Yaga becomes a Triple Goddess in this fashion, embodying the Virgin, Mother, and Crone. The "Keeper of the Water of Life and Death" is another name for Baba Yaga. A common pattern encountered through myths and folklore is that when a hero is assassinated with a sword or by fire, he or she is sprayed with the Water of Death, which instantly cures all wounds. Then they are bathed in the Water of Life, granting Rebirth. The cottage itself can be interpreted as a symbol as it evokes old totemic rituals or those related to the burial of the dead. Another reference to this idea may be found in her revolving hut, which is surrounded by 12 posts, representing the passage of time through the 12 months of the year. Baba Yaga is also an accomplished weaver, frequently seen at her wheel, which is almost always associated with 'weaving time.' Conclusion With this in mind, it is reasonable to conclude that Baba Yaga was a pagan goddess of fertility who gave birth to all of nature and set cosmic rhythms. If we are to ascribe to Baba Yaga, only the appellative " the goddess of death" would not be sufficient. She synthesises numerous goddesses and archetypes with a dash of witchcraft, which distinguishes her as one-of-a-kind. She is the goddess of duality; she is the goddess of "death and life, Rebirth, senility and fertility, destruction and rejuvenation, villainy and compassion, masculine and feminine." As a result, she serves as the intermediary between two universes, also acting as a psychopomp in some instances. Therefore she is the gods' intermediary instrument - neither divine nor human. As a result, she is a mother but not a wife, a mother of beasts but not of humans, and so forth. As with every mediator, she possesses no free will of her own; instead, she transfers it to humans, though not to everyone, but to the chosen...

i think me too, but the Keanu Reeves kind of Baba yaga

I learned about it through watching Masha and the Bear lol but it is definitely interesting.

I know Baba Yaga from Ever After High lol. She's a cool teacher there.

Wait, I didn't know that's why they'd wear those old outfits or that you had to move them every so often! That's actually really interesting!

Why didn't you just keep them penned in and feed them goat feed and hay? Though, I definitely understand that it could be a struggle. I feel like people often forget that deer will do a similar thing unless wolves and other predators keep the population down.

I've heard of people rotating their goats. Have them fenced in one area till they eat the grass short, and then put them in a new spot to allow the old patch to regrow. Cycle through 3-4 and you never have to buy feed and the land isn't harmed 😊

i have one calf who eat like goat 😅 so i do rotational thing

Horses do the same thing. Eat grass down the root, then pull up the roots (but not much for bushes, the did kill a couple of my mom's early attempt at fruit trees. If I remember correctly sheep and cows are better for long term lawn maintenance.

PREACH

aw thanks, I appreciate that extra effort and the compliment!

Totally agree! The game caught my eye, but the voice kept me here.

​@@MadMorph Dito! Also your commentary had me in stitches the whole time.. and somehow I also felt so, validated by your ramblings, cause we are of the same mind on everything. Also get monkey nuts for the crows. (they love it and pigeons/doves and geese, swans etc dont eat them)- so more chance for them to come since its also less competition. I made friends with the crows in my local park.

Strangely, my husband said the same 😂

Omg I hear it!

I'm a girl but am I your husband? lmao I said the same thing

@@sofr790 you can be 😘

💯agree also morph should make the sounds for the geese🪿 lmao

This is referenced by Baba Yaga too, when she calls you River Kitten at some point. ^^

In Russian it is too. But it pronounce RekA', not REka

Hope you enjoy it!

I enjoyed it very much. I'm sure unintentionally, but River Kitten looks like Wednesday Addams (in a good way). And I love how she held the crow on her hand, it was so cute; the pose she held was quite cool too ❤

That is literally my best friends dream! Her family and I so want to buy a plot of land, build a couple cabins and just farm and raise our own animals so badly! It'd be a lot of work, but so peaceful I think!

It's true

Hello! I watch these and other videos while I crochet or knit a lot, and I always read through the comments to get the vibe of a video or additional information. I'm glad you get along with your coworker. Morph is very calming, and seems like a cool person.

It's not Scandinavian. It's Eastern Europe

the scent thing is a myth to prevent children from touching wildlife. if it was true, animal populations would be incredibly minuscule. humans aren't the only thing capable of leaving smells on animals, predators or the environment can too. animals are way smarter than we give them credit for
