Baba Yaga is a famous figure from Old Russian fairy tales. It seems to be an old witch, but also it has the ability to appear in the guise of a very beautiful woman bearing precious gifts. It knows the secret of the Water of Life and Death and where to find it, and may be kind enough to give it to a lucky recipient.
According to one theory about Slavic mythology, the Baba Yaga stories have their origin in the beliefs of the peoples living in northern Russia and Finland, who worshipped goddesses who were represented by statues named Yaga from the Nentsy word yaha, meaning sea or lake. The people of north Russia asked her for advice, as they believed Baba Yaga played the role of a helper and wise woman.
