Episode Details

We love a complex crone, especially when she’s the epitome of the witch of the woods. Baba Yaga lives deep in the Slavic forest in a hut that stands on chicken legs (yes, really), flies around in a mortar and pestle, and might help you… or eat you. It really just depends on her mood. Sometimes she’s the wise old crone who tests your courage; other times, she’s straight-up nightmare fuel. Either way, she’s been haunting folktales for centuries. Equal parts terrifying, hilarious, and weirdly iconic👏👏
