Here is a list of common factors in most Baba Yaga stories, as they vary over time and region:
- She is a witch
- She eats children
- Her hut stands on chicken legs, and moves around at Baba's will
- The hut is surrounded by a fence made of human bones and skulls
- Baba makes her rounds in a mortar and pestle
- She does NOT like being asked questions
Should you ever encounter Baba Yaga in the woods, turn your eyes to the ground and allow her to pass you before continuing on your way...unless you want to get yourself eaten or stomped to death by her hut.
