About Baba Yaga: The Lithuanian/Russian Goddess of regeneration, Baba Yaga is typically represented as the last sheaf of corn in today's festivities. As both young and old, she re-awakens in us an awareness of time's ever-moving wheel, the seasons, and the significance of both to our Goddess-centered magic.
To Do Today: Follow with tradition and make or buy a wreath or bundle of corn shucks or other harvest items. Keep this in your home to inspire Baba Yaga's timeliness for coping with your day more effectively and efficiently, and you'll carry her providence with you no matter the circumstances.
Feast on newly harvested foods, thanking Baba Yaga as the maker of your meal. Make sure to put aside one piece of corn that will not be
consumed today, however. Dry it and hang it up to ensure a good harvest the next year, for your garden, pocketbook, or heart.
Finally, decorate your home or office with a handful of wildflowers
(even dandelions qualify). Baba Yaga's energy will follow them and you to where it's most needed.
