Baba Yaga: The True Crime Episode - a podcast by Mystic and the Hag

On today's episode it's all about Baba Yaga, true crime, cannibalism and witches. We discuss if folklores and fairytales were warnings for young women. How stories about witches are possibly the first batches of true crime stories and continued our fascination with evil.  Plus we touch on the surprising amount of cannibalists that come out of Russia. Trigger Warning: we touch on death of children and sexual violence.
