Add Thistlefoot Novel edit

In the modern culture section, I recommend adding the book Thistlefoot by GennaRose Nethercott. It is an expansive and important cultural retelling of the Baba Yaga myth.

Mussorgsky edit

Either in “Attestations” section or a new section called “In Classical Music” (?), there should be a reference to Mussorgsky’s piece Pictures at an Exhibition. The Emerson, Lake, and Palmer’s version referenced in Baba Yaga wiki wouldn’t exist if Mussorgsky hadn’t written the piano suite first! Mcksis (talk) 19:19, 9 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Done. You could have done it yourself. BTW it has nothning to do with attestations. - Altenmann >talk 22:16, 9 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Andreas Johns edit

Undue for the lede and no place to move it in the article

Scholar Andreas Johns identifies Baba Yaga as "one of the most memorable and distinctive figures in eastern European folklore", and observes that she is "enigmatic" and often exhibits "striking ambiguity".[1] Johns summarizes Baba Yaga as "a many-faceted figure, capable of inspiring researchers to see her as a Cloud, Moon, Death, Winter, Snake, Bird, Pelican or Earth Goddess, totemic matriarchal ancestress, female initiator, phallic mother, or archetypal image".[2] Ben Azura (talk) 17:38, 3 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

There's always a place. I placed it near the other mention of Johns. Maybe another place would be even better, but this should do. Gawaon (talk) 19:47, 3 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
