Baba Yaga - When Wishes Come True - European - Extra Mythology

Vasilisa story is Russian but Baba Yaga is a Slavic folklore

I found it weird you sometimes called baba Yaga just 'baba', since in bulgarian, and probably other slavic languages, baba means grannie and she is grannie Yaga, so her name is just Yaga. At least that's what I grew up thinking.

Well I guess the step family just encountered a greater evil than them

That was one stinger of a pun. XD

Epic

If there's one thing I've learned from mythology, it's that being an attractive woman SUCKS. At least people leave ugly women the frick ALONE.

If I meet her Hanuman Chalisa ❤

Hanuman ji are the boogey man of demons and Asurs

Bhoot pisach nikat nahi aave Mahavir Jab Naam sunvave ❤

Well if this show is good enough for baba to support it’s good enough for me

The beginning sounds like freaking Cinderella

I wonder if Cinderella originated from this story

That stepmother is very stupid. She sent Vasilisa out to die, when she and her daughters can't take care of themselves. Flawless logic.🙄

In the Pathfinder TTRPG, there is a published campaign called "Reign of Winter" that draws a lot from Russian mythology. In one of its books ("Rasputin Must Die!", the highlight of the campaign), you end up running around Baba Yaga's house, and you can find Vasilisa's doll! It literally calls itself "Vasilisa's doll"! After Vasilisa died, Baba Yaga claimed the doll and tormented it out of anger for letting Vasilisa get away. But if the PCs find it, rescue it from the flame-eyed skulls that surround it and give it some food, it will join them as a little servant to do chores and busywork for them.

so glad to have mythology back because this was such a neat tale

Not just russian, but eastern european

Matches were invented in 1827 so the story was made at least post 1827

Dude I love Cooking Companions

Hope that her "magic" doesn’t make her impervious to 30 caliber bullets. I mean is you can land a handful of 30.06 rounds on this ho you deserve to walk away the victor. A bayonet soaked in holy water for good measure just like all the bullets. Grandma ain’t eating me without my consent.

This unlocked locked memory

What discernment do you guys go through to determine if these are actually true or not❕❓
Is it simply scientific❔

This video was excellent! I really hope that you will consider exploring other slavic folk tales and mythical creatures, like mermaids(these ones have normal legs, and usually hang out on trees), leshiy, or maybe some more tame ones, like domovoy. Thank you for the video!

This was the first time hearing this folktale. It was wonderful! 😮

The logic... It's dark, we're out of matches. Go walk two days from here and get some...
You want me to walk for two days to get matches, so we can see in the dark? You know you're crazy right?

Russian is not a nationality, but a definition of belonging to a slave of the Russian Empire. The word Russian, like the Russian language, appeared in the 19th century after the Napoleonic wars. Therefore, Baya Yaga is not connected with the Russians at all. The author of the video does not know the history and mythology.

Someone said John wick?

I love Slavic folklore, it’s always so wild.

I personally believe that Baba Yaga had given the doll to Vasilisa’s mother because the mother knew she was dying and wanted to protect her daughter, so Baba Yaga probably said this giving her the doll: upon your deathbed tell the child she must hide and provide food to this doll, who in return will protect and shield her from all forms cruelty and things of evil including myself, but should someone with ill intentions send her to me , I will task her with challenges and as long as she has the doll she shall not be fated to be devoured by me, but to ensure she will be safe she must never ever reveal the existence to anyone including me or a grizzly death worse than anything I could do to her shall be bestowed upon her.

I heard of Baba Yaga, however he was a lot different, and had a bit more firepower

Dude, i so want to see something where all the witches ride brooms, but Baba Yaga is riding a mortar and pestle, that’d be awesome and hilarious

They wanted that.

My gfs neighbors may be drug dealers. Once they saw a oven door in their front yard and the neighbors claimed they didn’t know how it got their, another time someone pulled up and grabbed something from their trash can. Plus they have two massive guard dogs and despite the home owners constantly raising the price they keep paying. Her family had called the cops multiple times but they can’t arrest them unless they do something really bad

Why does Baba Yaga sound like Starscream

Why does Baba Yaga's hut remind me of Howl's moving castle? 🤔

Why does baba yaga‘s smiling face expression do be looking like Ice King from adventure time

She's got a sick theme song too

Wait is this where Cinderella came from?

Are you saying she’s like the joker

Is it a Russian or Ukrainian tale?

She's such a meme

Visalisa’s evil stepmother and stepsisters sound familiar…

Cooking companions

The whole thing was a plot twist...

Baba Dochia 🇷🇴 is better
