Slavic Chaos
On and off for a while now I've had a single name lingering in the back of my mind; Baba Jaga. I've been going through a very rough time in life lately. Of the reproductive side, nothing seems to work right. The hormonal medication makes me crazy, and I just feel like I'm suffocating in general. Last night as I was starting to fall asleep I hear a name in my mind and what should it be but ... Baba Jaga. I have a rudimentary understanding of what she represents in the slavic pantheon, but decided to do some reading, to get a better understanding. I found it interesting that the principles of creation and chaos seemed to run through similar chords linking the ideas behind Baba Jaga and Tiamat. Even if there is no literal cross cultural link, the ideas encompass the same rhythm as they overlap the discovery of darkness gained through self reflection. After thinking about that, it no longer seemed like such a mystery as to why I had Baba Jaga on the brain.
