63. The Baba Yaga mythos





















Baba Yaga is an Eastern European witch. She flies around in a mortar using a pestle as an oar and lives in a hut that walks around on chicken legs. Also, like any good witch, she enjoys eating the occasional child. I've seen some of those European forests, and I have no doubt that Baba Yaga is out there somewhere.

  1. If you're going to mention Baba Yaga, you also have to mention Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition, including the Hut of Baba Yaga.

    Also, it's arranged for marching band: Seconds 49 to 1:42, if I could figure out how to link to a YouTube clip.
