Ever wonder what it's like to be the most feared witch in Slavic mythology? Spoiler: It's mostly just dealing with annoying heroes and impossible tasks.  

Spend a day in the life of Baba Yaga, the legendary guardian of the threshold between the living and the dead. From waking up in a hut that walks on giant chicken legs to sorting out the spirits of the underworld, being a mythological icon isn't exactly a fairy tale.  

In this story, watch as she deals with a crying peasant begging for a magic sword , assigns absolutely impossible quests (like combing the hair of her biting second head) , and works as the ultimate supernatural civil servant.
