Baba Yaga Laid an Egg

About This Novel

Baba Yaga is a witch, but does not belong to the group of witches; she can be both a good person and an evil person; she is a mother and the murderer of her daughter; she is a woman, but does not have and has never had a husband; she lends a helping hand and plots conspiracy; she is expelled from human society, but she also communicates with humans; she is a warrior, but she also does housework; she is a "dead person", but she is also alive She can fly, but is also tied to the ground; she is just an "accidental character", but she is also a key stop on the protagonist's journey to happiness: the "polite" and "rude" protagonists stop in front of her hut. They eat and drink, take a comfortable bath, listen to her advice, take away the magic gift she gave, and then disappear without a trace. Translated into more modern language, she is a dissident, an exile, a loser, a recluse, a spinster, an ugly creature. Her image relies on oral tradition, is the result of a collective creation, and serves as a collective mirror. Her life story begins in better times, when she was the Golden Barba, Mother Earth. Later, she became an outcast scarecrow, but still ruled the people with her tricks. Now, she huddles in the hut and suffers for days, like an embryo in the womb or a corpse in a coffin. No one knocked on her door again with flowers and chocolates.
