Trouble
Once upon a time there lived a Little Baba Yaga - that is, a witch - and she was only one hundred and twenty-seven years old. For real Baba Yaga This, of course, is not age! We can say that this Baba Yaga was still a girl. She lived in a tiny hut, standing alone in the forest.
The roof of the hut was twisted by the wind, the chimney was twisted, the shutters rattled different voices. But Little Baba Yaga did not want better home, that was enough for her. A huge stove was attached to the outside of the hut. It’s impossible to do without such a stove, otherwise the hut wouldn’t exist.
The real house of Baba Yaga.
A raven also lived in the hut with Baba Yaga. His name was Abraham. He said not only Good morning!” and “Good evening!”, as all talking crows can do. Raven Abrahas could say everything! He was a wise raven and knew a lot about literally everything in the world. About six hours a day Little Baba Yaga learned to cast magic. After all, witchcraft is not such a simple thing: you can’t be lazy in this matter! First you need to memorize all the simple witchcraft things, and then more complex ones. You need to memorize the entire witchcraft book from beginning to end, without missing a single task in it.
Little Baba Yaga
I only got to the two hundred and thirtieth page. That morning she practiced making rain. She sat in the yard near the stove, held a witchcraft book on her lap and cast a spell. Raven Abrahas sat nearby. He was gloomy. - It must be raining! - he croaked angrily. - And what are you doing? For the first time, white mice fell from the sky! Second time – frogs! In the third - fir cones! I wonder what will fall for the fourth time! Will you finally get real rain?! Little Baba Yaga tried to make it rain for the fourth time. She ordered a small cloud to gather in the sky, beckoned it with her hand, and when it stopped just above the hut, she shouted: “Come on, let it rain!” The cloud broke and sour milk poured from the sky. - Spoiled milk! – Abrakhas croaked in horror. - You are crazy! What else can you conjure for us? Maybe semolina porridge? Or shoe nails? Even if it were butter crumbs or raisins, it would be all right... - I must have made a mistake! - said Little Baba Yaga. “I’ve made mistakes sometimes before.” But for the fourth time in a row - this has never happened to me before! - “I misspoke”! - the raven grumbled. - I'll tell you what's the matter! You're distracted, that's what! If you think about all sorts of things, you will certainly make a mistake. You need to concentrate, that's what! - Do you find it? – Little Baba Yaga said thoughtfully. She suddenly slammed the witchcraft book shut. - You are right! – she shouted angrily. - I can not concentrate! And do you know why? – She flashed her eyes. - Because I'm beside myself with anger! - Out of anger? – asked Abrakhas. -Who are you angry with? – I’m angry that today is Walpurgis Night! The biggest holiday!
Today all the witches will gather on Mount Blocksberg and dance there until the morning! - So what? - asked the raven. - And the fact that I’m still too young to dance! That's what grown-up witches say! They don't want me to dance with them on Blocksberg! The old raven tried to console her: “You see, at your one hundred and twenty-seven years old, you still cannot demand this.” When you get older, then it’s a different matter... - Oh, leave it! - Little Baba Yaga shouted. – I want to dance with everyone now! Understand? - What is not allowed is not allowed! – the raven croaked instructively. “Will anything change because you’re angry?” Be reasonable! I feel like you're up to something. - I know what I'm up to! - said Little Baba Yaga. – Tonight I’ll fly to Blocksberg! – To Mount Blocksberg? – asked the raven. - But the adult witches forbade you to do this! - Ha! – Little Baba Yaga shouted contemptuously. - Much is prohibited! But if they don’t catch me... – You will! – the raven croaked prophetically. - Nonsense! - Little Baba Yaga objected. – I will appear when they are already dancing with all their might! And just before the end I’ll wash off! In the chaos that will reign tonight on Blocksberg, no one will notice me...

F or your own grandfather and grandmother; Grandfather became a widower and married another wife, and he still had a girl from his first wife. The evil stepmother did not like her, beat her and thought about how to completely destroy her.
Since the father has gone somewhere, the stepmother says to the girl:
Go to your aunt, my sister, ask her for a needle and thread - to sew you a shirt.
And this aunt was Baba Yaga bone leg.
The girl wasn’t stupid, but she went to see her own aunt first.
Hello, auntie!
Hello, darling! Why did you come?
Mother sent to her sister to ask for a needle and thread to sew a shirt for me. She teaches her:
There, niece, a birch tree will whip you in the eyes - you tie it with a ribbon; there the gates will creak and slam for you - you pour oil under their heels; there the dogs will tear you apart - you throw them some bread; There the cat will scratch your eyes - give him some ham. The girl went; here she comes, she comes and she has come. There is a hut, and Baba Yaga sits in it with a bone leg and weaves.
Hello, auntie!
Hello, darling!
My mother sent me to ask you for a needle and thread to sew me a shirt.
Okay: sit down while you weave.
So the girl sat down at the crown, and Baba Yaga came out and said to her worker:
Go, heat the bathhouse and wash your niece, and look, it’s good; I want to have breakfast with her.
The girl sits neither alive nor dead, all frightened, and she asks the worker:
My dear! You don’t so much set fire to the wood as fill it with water, carry the water with a sieve,” and she gave her a handkerchief.
Baba Yaga is waiting; she went to the window and asked:
Weave, auntie, weave, dear!
Baba Yaga walked away, and the girl gave the cat some ham and asked:
Is there any way to get away from here?
Here’s a comb and a towel for you,” says the cat, “take them and run away; Baba Yaga will chase you, put your ear to the ground and when you hear that she is close, first throw in a towel - it will happen wide wide river; If Baba Yaga crosses the river and begins to catch up with you, you will again lay your ear to the ground and, when you hear that she is close, throw a comb - it will become a dense, dense forest, she will no longer get through it!
The girl took a towel and a comb and ran; the dogs wanted to tear her apart - she threw them some bread, and they let her through; the gate wanted to slam shut - she poured butter under their heels, and they let her through;
The birch tree wanted to quilt her eyes - she tied it with a ribbon, and she let her through. And the cat sat down at the cross and weaved; I didn’t so much mess up as I messed up. Baba Yaga came to the window and asked:
Are you weaving, niece, are you weaving, dear?
Weave, auntie, weave, dear! - the cat answers rudely. Baba Yaga rushed into the hut, saw that the girl had left, and let’s beat the cat and scold him, why didn’t he scratch out the girl’s eyes?
“I’ve been serving you for as long as I’ve served you,” says the cat, “you didn’t give me a bone, but she gave me a ham.”
Baba Yaga attacked the dogs, the gate, the birch tree and the worker, let’s scold and beat everyone. The dogs tell her:
As long as we serve you, you didn’t throw us a burnt crust, but she gave us some bread. Gate says:

As long as I serve you, you didn’t tie me up with a thread, but she tied me up with a ribbon. The worker says:
As long as I serve you, you didn’t give me a rag, but she gave me a handkerchief.
Baba Yaga's bone leg quickly sat down on the mortar, pushed with a pusher, covered the trail with a broom, and set off in pursuit of the girl. So the girl bowed her ear to the ground and heard that Baba Yaga was chasing, and was already close, she took and threw in the towel; the river became so wide, so wide! Baba Yaga came to the river and gnashed her teeth in anger; she returned home, took her oxen and drove them to the river; the bulls drank up the entire river. clean.
Baba Yaga set off in pursuit again. The girl lowered her ear to the ground and heard that Baba Yaga was close and threw her comb; The forest became so dense and scary! Baba Yaga began to gnaw at it, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not gnaw through it and turned back.
And the grandfather has already arrived home and asks:
Where is my daughter?
“She went to her aunt,” says the stepmother. A little later the girl came running home.

Ah, father! - she says. - So and so - my mother sent me to my aunt to ask for a needle and thread - to sew a shirt for me, and my aunt, Baba Yaga, wanted to eat me.
How did you leave, daughter?
“So and so,” says the girl.
When the grandfather found out all this, he became angry with his wife and shot her; and he and his daughter began to live and live and make good things, and I was there, drinking mead and beer; It flowed down my mustache but didn’t get into my mouth.
One of the most famous fairy tale characters is Baba Yaga. Parents love to scare their children with this negative character from Slavic folk tales and Soviet cartoons, especially if they have done something wrong. So, what is this terrible person like?
general description
Typically common description of Baba Yaga resembles a big hunchbacked old woman, distinctive feature which had a long and hooked nose. According to Slavic folklore, Baba Yaga has witchcraft skills, and her means of transportation is a wooden stupa. In pursuit of her victims, she actively uses a pestle to speed up, and a broom to get rid of traces. The old woman's habitat is a hut on chicken legs. The main targets of Baba Yaga's attacks are good fellows and small children, whom she lures into her hut to be eaten.
Description of Baba Yaga from fairy tales
Quite common fairy-tale character is Baba Yaga, who in some cases acts as a cunning kidnapper of children, and sometimes appears as a smart assistant. Her age is more than 100 years old. Often in fairy tales she is described as having an ugly and repulsive appearance. Where did this mysterious forest witch come from? Many ancient Slavs were pagans, and as a result they worshiped nature and the spirits of their ancestors. At that time, people believed that after death a person appeared in the kingdom of the dead, where creatures called Navi lived. As legends say, Baba Yaga belonged to both the world of people and the world of the dead.
In some fairy tales, Baba Yaga appears in the form of an old woman who lives alone in a hut on “chicken legs” in the wilderness and has the ability to command animals. In other works of folk art, this character is a witch. It is the second option, where Baba Yaga is friends with evil spirits, that fully corresponds to the statement that she belongs to the world of the living and the dead.
IN folk art external description of Baba Yaga symbolic and amazing. For example, there is an old woman in the house and “lying on the stove”, putting her teeth on the shelf. Her “nose has grown into the ceiling”, as well as the popular expression “bone leg”, conjure up the image of the living dead. It is Baba Yaga’s leg that is another element that spoils her appearance. According to some researchers, in mythologists of different nations, some creatures possessed animal limbs. And since Baba Yaga is considered a representative of the world of the dead, instead of an ordinary leg she has a bone leg, which is characteristic only of the dead. The peculiarity of the old woman’s appearance also lies in the sharply emphasized feminine characteristics, which are excessively exaggerated. Many storytellers do not describe Baba Yaga’s appearance in detail, focusing only on her old age, lack of teeth and terrible appearance.
Baba Yaga learns about the appearance of a “guest” in her hut with the help of her signature hooked and long nose. Her catchphrase “smells of the Russian spirit” indicates poor eyesight or its complete absence. As ancient legends say, the living cannot see spirits, and they, in turn, do not have the opportunity to see people. However, the inhabitants of the world of the dead can distinguish the living by their smell, which is unpleasant for them.
In some fairy tales, Baba Yaga’s constant attribute is her pestle or stick, which had magical properties. With her help, the old woman could cope with any Russian hero. While flying above the ground, Baba Yaga specially adjusted her mortar with a pestle in order to catch up with the fugitives.
Baba Yaga's witchcraft skills allowed her to perform incredible miracles. She could transfer power from one living creature to another, and also put heroes to sleep. It is worth noting that people often associate sleep with temporary death. The peculiarity of inducing sleep in living people once again speaks of Baba Yaga’s belonging to both worlds.
Baba Yaga's habitat
Almost every person knows from fairy tales or cartoons that Baba Yaga’s permanent place of residence is a hut on chicken legs, which is located on the border of the forest. There is a frightening fence made of human bones and skulls around the house. They played a key role in one of the fairy tales. Vasilisa, with the help of the skull, managed to burn down her stepmother's house. Among the ancient Slavs, such framing of the home had a symbolic meaning. During pagan times, our ancestors treated the souls of dead people with due respect. After the death of a person, his body was cremated, and the ashes were placed in an urn, which was placed in the house for safekeeping. It was precisely such structures that for the deceased looked very much like a hut. Often, the ancient Slavs placed domina in the forest on high stumps, the roots of which were practically no different from a “chicken leg”. Thus, the spirit found a new home. Therefore, the fairy-tale hut on chicken legs can be compared with the house of the ancient Slavs, and instead of the souls of dead people - Baba Yaga.
Baba Yaga's relationship with fairy-tale characters
Judging by the plots of fairy tales, Baba Yaga does not get along well with people and is often unfriendly towards them. When the main character, after some time and after incredible efforts, finds a hut in a dense forest, he cannot go inside. Then a phrase is pronounced, commanding the house to turn its back to the forest and its front to the person. Thus, the main character wants to move from the world of the living to the haven of the dead.
Baba Yaga is not a good-natured old lady who is ready to just help everyone. The main character needs to try hard and go through various tests in order for the mistress to satisfy his request. A representative of the world of the living should undergo a special funeral rite, which will allow him to join the house of the dead. Baba Yaga prepares a bathhouse for the hero and also treats him with funeral dishes. Only after all her demands have been satisfied, the owner of the hut provides assistance to the person who has temporarily become a representative of the world of the dead. These are the most popular descriptions of Baba Yaga there are popular beliefs.

I really like this fairy tale, which is not the first time I have read it. In it, the main character is a small but very brave girl who was sent to be eaten by Baba Yaga.

Well, the fact that everyone who was offended by Baba Yaga helped the girl seems very correct.

We can say that this Baba Yaga was still a girl. She lived in a tiny hut, standing alone in the forest. The roof of the hut was warped by the wind, the chimney was twisted, the shutters rattled in response to different voices. But Little Baba Yaga did not want a better home for herself; that was enough for her. A huge stove was attached to the outside of the hut. It is impossible to do without such a stove, otherwise the hut would not be the real home of Baba Yaga.
A raven also lived in the hut with Baba Yaga. His name was Abraham. He didn't just say "Good morning!" and “Good evening!”, as all talking crows can do. Raven Abrahas could say everything! He was a wise raven and knew a lot about literally everything in the world.

So what? - asked the raven.
And the fact that I’m still too young to dance! That's what grown-up witches say! They don't want me to dance with them on Blocksberg! The old raven tried to console her:
