After the advent of Christianity in Russia, Baba Yaga became a negative fairy-tale character. Yet, in fairy tales, there is some truth: a hut on chicken legs covered with moss, a sleeveless vest, etc. The pantheon of Slavic Gods is immense, and it is impossible to name all the names, since each name is a great deed in the vastness of the universe.

Slavic witches can also be attributed to this topic. Who are Slavic witches? The word Vedas means knowledge. To know means to know. A woman who has certain knowledge. Unlike Christian statements that claim, that a Witch is an evil woman flying on a broom and serving the devil, in fact, a Witch from Old Slavonic is a Knowing Mother.

In the pre-Christian period, women with the status of witches were highly respected members of society. This honorary title in Vedic culture was given to a woman who raised virtuous offspring. The Slavs were Orthodox -they glorified (as they say now – pagans). With the advent of Judeo-Christianity, negative information about witches spread to Russia.
