At the edge between the living and the dead — where the idols of Mokosh greet the traveler — stands the hut of Baba Yaga. Perched on chicken legs, it rises like pillars for the soul, echoing ancient rites of sky burials.
Inside burns a stove. Not just a source of warmth, but a symbol of the womb — of rebirth through fire.
In old rituals, sick children were placed inside the warm oven to be “born again” and break their ties with the otherworld.
Behind the stove hides the Domovoi — the spirit of the house, the forgotten ancestor guarding the threshold.
Red threads stretch through the hut, reminding of the Valkyries who wove the names of heroes, and of Mokosh, the goddess of fate.
Here, the fragments of bodies become symbols of power: the Slavs believed that the soul could dwell in eyes or hands — and so the remains of the dead could heal or protect.
