"The Baba Yaga would represent the more archaic similar figure in which the positive and negative are mixed. She is full of the powers of destruction, of desolation, and of chaos, but at the same time, is a helpful figure. The divine rank of this figure is clearly proved by the fact that she has three riders at her disposition- “My Day”, “My Night”, and “My Sun”. So she is a cosmic Godhead. There are also three pairs of hands- that unspeakable, horrible secret no one ought to ask about."
