Everyone knows Baba Yaga with her chicken-legged hut and iron teeth. But what if I told you she was NEVER the most feared female entity in Slavic folklore? In this documentary, we uncover three forgotten "sisters" who terrorized Eastern Europe for over 1000 years - and unlike Baba Yaga, people STILL leave offerings for them today.
🌾 MOKOSH - The only female goddess in Prince Vladimir's pantheon who became a "witch" after Christianity arrived. Women risked excommunication to worship her in secret, and some still do.
🏚️ KIKIMORA - The household spirit who lives in your walls. She can make your life heaven or hell depending on how clean you keep your house. Soviet apartment blocks? She adapted.
☀️ LADY MIDDAY (Poludnitsa) - The noon demon who kills farmers with sunstroke. In 1888, Jan Dvořák met her in a Czech wheat field. He survived, but what she did to his mind was worse than death.
BASED ON:
Ethnographic records from 1860s-1990s
First-hand accounts from Russian, Polish, Czech & Ukrainian villages
Academic sources: Vladimir Dal, Natalia Vinogradova, Dmitry Zelenin
Real documented cases with names, dates, and locations
WHY THIS MATTERS:
These aren't just folklore monsters. They're survival guides encoded in myth. They protected women's rights in patriarchal societies, enforced agricultural safety, and preserved pre-Christian wisdom for a millennium. Understanding them means understanding how oppressed knowledge survives.
