RagnarRox's video: Baba Yaga - Witch of the Wilds Monsters of the Week

The witch is part of our collective mythology. But where did this archetype of the mystic crone originate? Join me on the episode of Monsters of the Week when we trace her roots through movies, video games and literature, over Shakespeare and eastwards to the primeval hills and forests of Russia and Slavic Europe. To the chicken-leg hut of Baba Yaga. __ Thanks for watching Monsters of the Week, a RagnarRox show.
