Hey! Next week is the mailbag episode! Send me your questions and comments to my podcast email: getgrimmpodcast@gmail.com

Baba Yaga is a well known character from Eastern European folklore. She is a witch of negotiable affections. Basically, depending on the story, her allegiances shift. It’s hard to trace her origins precisely; tales involving Baba Yaga have existed for hundreds of years in oral tradition, but we begin to see written versions of her in stories within the last 200 years. She has also been featured prominently in children’s storybooks, movies, and television shows.

I picked a pair of tales that show her ambiguous nature as well as her meaner side to get a sense of her as a person.
