Baba Yaga

Loss

Lost within a forest dark,

borrowing others’ light and spark.

No need to steal to be seen,

find your way and shine supreme.

By the power of the Dark Goddess in me,

protection in place. Blessed Be.

Guidance

Every time you steal somebody’s thunder, you are taking away their moment that they have earned. Trying to win praise for oneself by pre-empting someone else’s attempt to impress, is a completely fake way to receive adulation. Baba Yaga knows what it is to be without love, and understands that you sometimes need to steal the limelight in order to be noticed. However, Baba Yaga does not look kindly on those who have more than they need in life and she will take from those who don’t appreciate what they have. Do you really want Baba Yaga to teach you her hard lesson in understanding loss? Then start to appreciate what really does matter in life. Give praise where it is due and learn to cherish who you are. Baba Yaga offers to lead you out of the dark forest that ensnared you for a while.

Foresight

Spend time connecting with the forest. You have lost sight of who you are. Something that has been lost to you will return. Don’t lose your faith. Stop trying to seek attention. You aren’t using all of your true potential. Something is being hidden from you. Open your eyes!

Baba Yaga  Revealed

Archetypal “thief” of Slavic origin and a supernatural goddess who dwelled in the forest, she was of the forest itself. Children in particular were warned not to venture off, for Baba Yaga would ensnare them and they would be lost forever. Baba Yaga was very crafty, so some people actively chose to seek her out for advice, but only she would decide whether to help or hinder.
