quickly hashed out an idea i had but... baba yaga, her son (who is also the house) and his daughter (house spirit). they are also inspired by hansel and gretel's witch (baba yaga) and the pied piper of hamlin (house-kun). they lure wicked kids away to scare 'em straight in the house of horrors and the daughter/grand-daughter acts as the heroine who helps the kids escape after they repent and promise to do better.

Who is The Witch Mother?

Like the Witch Father, the Witch Mother is the dual-natured Archetypal Divine Feminine. She is life and death, creation and destruction, She is all. In Traditional Witchcraft, She is an initiator into witchcraft and the being that creates and molds the world to Her whim. The Witch Mother is Witchcraft itself.  The Witch Mother, much like the Witch Father, is another enigmatic spirit essential…

Baba Yaga, Witch and Ghost Whisperer

There is a fascinating creature in Slavic folklore known as Baba Yaga. People frequently depict her as a terrifying witch with a complex and varied nature. The role she portrays is one that is both dangerous and mysterious, exemplifying the dual nature of being both a danger and a friend. Baba Yaga is often portrayed as an elderly woman who lives in a cottage that is perched on chicken legs and located deep in the forest. This odd dwelling has the ability to turn around, and only those who are familiar with the secret phrase are able to make it stop and allow access. In mythology, she plays a variety of roles; in some stories, she is a nefarious hag who devours anyone who dares to enter her domain, while in other stories, she is a knowledgeable matron who provides instruction to those who demonstrate respect and fortitude. Because of this dichotomy, she represents the wild and untamed elements of nature, reflecting the unpredictability and harshness of the natural world.

Because Baba Yaga is such a multifaceted character, her witchcraft is, too. She is an expert in concocting potions and spells, and she frequently makes use of her extensive understanding of herbs and the natural world to create concoctions that have a variety of effects. Several different stories depict him as floating through the air on a mortar, using a pestle as a rudder, and clearing her tracks with a broom. Her use of this means of transportation highlights her link to the supernatural and the occult, thereby establishing her as a being that goes beyond the typical. One more facet of Baba Yaga's legend lies in the fact that she interacts with ghosts and spirits. Being a witch with a strong connection to the supernatural, she often serves as a mediator between the living and the dead. Some stories depict her as a guardian of the boundary between life and death, while others portray her as possessing power over spirits and dictating their actions. Her association with the afterlife further strengthens her role as a custodian of ancient knowledge and secrets. Baba Yaga's frequent contact with spirits is evidence of her ability to influence the spiritual realm. Other depictions portray her as a necromancer, demonstrating her ability to summon spirits for information or assistance. In this capacity, Baba Yaga symbolizes the character of the knowledgeable lady who is able to go to a variety of worlds and comprehend mysteries that are beyond the comprehension of humans.

Despite the fact that she has a reputation for being terrifying, Baba Yaga is not entirely evil. Through her interactions with the protagonists in folklore, she frequently reveals herself to be a multifaceted character who can function as both an antagonist and a supporter. People who approach her with bravery and respect have a chance of receiving her assistance, which could result in them gaining significant gifts or learning vital lessons. Her trials frequently fulfill the function of rites of passage, putting the hero's wit, bravery, and determination to the test. Baba Yaga continues to be a fundamental figure in folklore, as she is a representation of the unpredictability of the natural world and the enigmatic depths of the supernatural. Her witchcraft, contact with ghosts, and dubious morality continue to attract and inspire people, which is what makes her an enduring emblem of the mysterious and the esoteric.

Double Dreamjournal 7/28/24

Last night I was up late at the hospital with my wife having a very long day, but when I woke up this morning I had a dream with a specific detail so vivid that it was worth writing down, and in the process I remember the two dreams that came before it!

I have journalled the first and third dream and decided that the dream in the middle but it's too hard to explain and involves complicated political topics I don't need people reading into.

Dream 1: The Giant Witch

I am embedded in a modern USA military unit. I think the leader is Giancarlo Esposito (thanks Marvel). We move into position in snowy mountains of some central/West Asia province. A MASH is set up to treat the locals who were injured by our fighting with the enemy forces. The main unit moves forward to recon and prep for the assault on the next mountain to the South where the enemies now are.

As the station fills up with refugees and the sun goes down, the officers get a report that [Rusankya] has been spotted in the area. I say [Rusankya] because I can't actually remember the name from the dream. However, it's well known enough that it has to be kept secret to keep the locals from panicking. The refugees are packed into all the evac vehicles and sent down the mountain to the nearest city for treatment and to remove them from danger.

While this happens some men go missing. As we watch the trucks vanish into the forest below I see a man get plucked off the ground by a giant raven and disappear into the dark cloudy sky. The officer in charge of the MASH (Neal McDonough) gives a briefing/exposition dump about [Rusankya] even though it feels like common knowledge to the viewer. She is an ice giant witch. She travels in a walking pine tree. she is friends with Baba Yaga, this is why sometimes there is a giant pine tree next to her hut wherever it camps. She controls giant ravens and has them pick up men for her to eat or do magic on. But when she finds a village she usually comes herself that same night to kill everyone there.

The military men get paranoid and it becomes a struggle to survive the night. Trying to get gear from outside and fortify the main ramshackle bui8lding without getting picked off, but find a way to last until morning if [Rusankya] does show up. There's a lull in the raven attacks for about an hour and the officer comments about wishing he knew why. was she playing games with them or had she found better targets, they weren't lucky enough to get off the hook that easy.

My dream brain flew through the mountains to see [Rusankya] on a snowy bare mountainside having tea and chatting with Baba Yaga herself. Baba Yaga was on her way to a nearby swamp, just passing through and utterly uninterested in the war zone that had brought [Rusankya] here. In person, [Rusankya] was MUCH LARGER than I expected. the pine tree had a massive curve in the trunk that she could sit on like a throne, the top of the tree just barely reaching the nape of her neck. Making her far taller than the D&D Ice giants. A door in the tree told me she could shrink down to human size if she wanted but this was her natural form. The was wiry, with knobby joints and lean, well defined muscles like a rock climber. She dressed in rags. Her claws and teeth were black and gleamed like obsidian through their filth. But the most interesting part of [Rusankya] was that above her long nose and chin, she had the wall or porch of a wooden house lashed across her eyes like a blindfold. It either blocked her vision or hid her blind eyes, but on it was a massive bloody rune. This allowed her to see through the eyes of ravens. Not just the giant ones roosting in her pine tree (and currently pecking at the remains of the dead soldiers) but ANY raven. Even the ones she did not control.

for some reason this new layer of surveillance made he seem much scarier than I had already (justifiably) felt. Looking at her "in person" made me wonder how the patchwork fortifications of the MASH could possibly survive once she attacked.

Unfortunately that's when my brain moved on to the second dream I am not going to talk about. Suffice to say I was with the refugees.

Next post will have Dream 3.

musician: Özgür Baba

instrument: Turkish Cura

composer: Yunus Emre, a Turkish Sufi mystic contemporary of Rumi

poem title / translation: Benim Adim Dertli Dolap / Endless Trouble Is My Name

poem translation:

Water-wheel, why do you moan?

For I am sorrowful, that is why I moan.

To the Lord I've given my soul,

For I've troubles, I moan.

Troubled water-wheel is my name,

My water flows pure,

As the Lord wishes thus,

For I am sorrowful, that is why I moan.

They found me as a mountain tree,

They broke my arms and cut my wings,

They thought me fit for a water-wheel,

For I've troubles, I moan.

From a mountain I was brought down,

Neither sweet, nor bitter, am I,

A devoted of God, am I,

For I am sorrowful, that is why I moan.

They felled my trunk and carved my branches,

Every piece of mine to be remade,

Yet, this commandment came from God,

For I've troubles, I moan.

Yunus, he who comes and finds no joy here,

His expectations never to be met,

As none can remain in this fleeting world,

For I've troubles, I moan.

Dervish Yunus,

Tears shed sin,

I'm in love with God, I swear,

I descend for Him.

Obsessed with Batkids that came after Jason's death accidentally letting slip things they know about him/talking about him like he's there:

Tim: "Not that he's-- I mean, the way Bruce talks about him, sometimes it's like--

Duke, simultaneously: "We hired a medium last week to communicate with his spirit."

----------------

Steph, accidentally bursting out of the kitchen while Damian is being interviewed: "Someone tell Jason he's an asshole for finishing all the peanut butter." *spots camera crew and freezes*

Damian: "Jason's what I named our new dog. Right Baba? He's the dog we saw last week at the shelter."

Bruce, through gritted teeth: "Yes, I remember saying that we had too many animals already, but anything to make my kids happy."

Steph, awkwardly sidestepping out of the frame.
