Song and video inspired by Clarissa Pinkola Estés' re-telling of the Russian folk tale, 'Baba Yaga', or 'Vasilisa the Wise' from her book 'Women Who Run With the Wolves'. The song also weaves in the the myth of La Loba, the woman who sings over the bones, as well as one of William Blake's infamous Proverbs from Hell, "Drive your cart and your plow over the bones of the dead'. Infinite gratitude from my heart to these powerful sources of inspiration.

This song honours the energy of Baba Yaga, Kali, La Loba - where the new is knitted out of the old; the fierce and cold compassion of death breathes space for new life to birth; the snake must eat its own tail for the circle of life to continue unbroken.

In the song we call upon the fierce witch of the psyche, Baba Yaga, the fire and death keeper of our soul, whom if we meet with great humility and courage, surrendering to the wisdom of our intuition, she will empower us with a fierce discernment, vanquishing our inner demons and fueling the fire of our hearts' purpose.

Video style inspired by the unique shadow animation style of Lotte Reiniger.

LYRICS:


Chorus:

Mm mm Baba Yaga I am calling you calling x4


V1:
Send your plough o'er the bones of the dead
And let the ground renew the skin that you've shed x2


Chorus



V2:
Dig deeper, dig deeper, dig up the dead
Knit their bones into homes for the souls that you've fed x2


Chorus


V3:
Heart beating, heart beating, deep in my body
Be my teacher, let me reach my deepest fear and release it x4


Calling you, calling you, calling you, calling you x2



Dig deep, dig deep, heart beat
Teach me, reach me, release x2


Mm mm mm Baba Yaga!
Mmm mm mm Baba Yaga!


Chorus
