Baba Yaga's Book of Witchcraft

Baba Yaga's Book of Witchcraft
Slavic Magic from the Witch of the Woods
By Madame Pamita

Enter the world of Slavic folk magic through the stories and sharp-tongued wisdom of Baba Yaga herself. In Baba Yaga's Book of Witchcraft, Madame Pamita combines traditional folklore, Ukrainian and Slavic magical practices, and hands-on techniques for bringing these traditions into personal practice.

Each chapter weaves together a portion of the fairy tale of Vasylyna, commentary from Baba Yaga, and practical instruction from the author. Along the way, readers explore magic connected with the sun, moon, stars, weather, animals, changing seasons, stones, food, beeswax, herbs, and the natural world.

The book also introduces spirits associated with the forest, hearth, and sauna and shares traditional folktales, including stories surrounding the birth of the sun and the land of the blessed ones. Practical projects give readers an opportunity to work directly with the traditions being explored.

Learn to stitch Ukrainian folk embroidery motifs into protective charms, weave ritual wreaths from herbs, create magical poppets, and incorporate traditional materials and symbols into your craft.
