Baba Yaga's Spindle. The Big Witch, Christmas Fortune Telling, Ritual Beatings and Female Initiation in Russian Fairy Tales
19.99 €
A vicious old woman from a forest thicket, who tries to lure the heroes to her hut and there destroy... We remember this image of Baba Yaga from childhood, but is it so simple?
The usual fairy tale characters and plots appear before us in a completely different light, if you look at them through the prism of ancient initiation rites.
Why does Baba Yaga live in a dense forest and the Frog Princess live in a swamp? Why does the main character of the fairy tale “Morozko” refuse to say that she is cold, and Little Havroshchka burys the bones of her favorite cow?
In this book you will learn about the rites of female initiation, their connection with fairy tales and with the lives of our ancestors.
