The Oracle of Luna with Bridget Engels presents: Baba Yaga - New Moon October - Guided Meditation

In this episode of the Oracle of Luna; we will go on an October New Moon meditation journey with the Slavic Goddess Baba Yaga. I will be your guide, as we align with the current cosmic energies with the New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Libra and take a mystical journey to the deep woods and mountains of Eastern Europe to connect with Baba Yaga.  I recommend that you listen to this episode with your eyes closed, being totally present, so you allow yourself to go on this inner journey.

Baba Yaga is the Slavic Wild Witch of the Woods and so much more! Baba Yaga lives in a remote hut that walks through the forest on chicken legs with a fence of human bones and skulls, and she flies in the air in a giant magical mortar and pestle. She usually appears as a hag or crone with a bony leg, and she is known as a shamanic trickster to challenge those who are in need of lessons and transformation.

Baba Yaga appears in Slavic and Russian folk and fairy tales over hundreds of years. In these stories, she represents a powerful shape shifting feminist crone archetype that is both heroine and villain, protective grandmother and horribly fierce, and acts as a Shaman or gatekeeper between the living world and the world of spirit and and a guardian of heroes/heroines. Baba Yaga is omniscient - she knows all things. She resides in the domain of the supernatural and holds secret knowledge, which she sometimes reveals to those whom she deems to be deserving of it.

Baba Yaga is associated with the deep woods and forests, and the wildness of nature. A force of nature herself, she symbolizes the unpredictable and untameable nature of the female spirit, of Mother Earth, and the relationship of Women to the wild. There are indications that Baba Yaga was once an ancient Pagan Earth Goddess in Slavic mythology that morphed into many complex interpretations throughout the years. 

Baba Yaga reminds us that we are also ferocious, untameable, wise and capable of our own powerful potential and honoring both the dark and the light within us. Tune in and be enlightened!
