Therapeutic tales. How little Baba Yaga made friends with children When Baba Yaga was a girl
There lived one very young Baba Yaga in the forest. Of course, she didn’t look like a grandmother, because she was only a year old, about twelve. But what to do, since since ancient times in Rus', their family was called Baba Yaga. And her mother, and grandmother, and great-grandmother, and all her ancestors were Baba Yagami. Little Baba Yaga had a hut on chicken legs, also small. Not even a hut, but a hut on chicken legs. Because when Baba Yaga is born, the hut is born along with her. Baba Yaga grows, and with her, her hut grows. And they are connected together, by inextricable bonds. Young Baba Yaga began to live independently very early. Because she was left an orphan from the age of five. Her mother, out of hunger, somehow decided to dine on the fool Ivan, and became infected with his stupidity. And Baba Yaga, who has become a complete fool, turns into an ordinary human woman. So she withered from melancholy, from sadness that she would no longer fly in a mortar across the blue sky, no longer weave witchcraft patterns, no longer harass good fellows. By the way, little Baba Yaga hardly knew how to cast magic. Her mother did not have time to teach her the art of witchcraft. What kind of Baba Yaga is this if she can’t do magic?
So she lived modestly in a forest clearing, without interfering with anything. She ate berries, mushrooms, and roots, and drank spring water. It was boring for little Baba Yaga to live alone in the forest. And then one day she decided to break centuries-old traditions and leave the impassable thicket. She wanted to see how people live. After all, my mother didn’t have time to tell me almost anything about it. And they were good fellows, they visited them very rarely, and even those, young Baba Yaga, did not have time to ask about anything. Because my mother had a short conversation - about a shovel, and into the oven.
Baba Yaga decides to leave the forest thicket
Here comes little Baba Yaga, in her hut on chicken legs, riding. He looks like the forest has become thinner and there are more paths. “That means people come here more often,” thought little Baba Yaga. And indeed, she looks, and a lot of kids are coming to meet her, with... They walk, laugh, sing songs, and generally have a blast.
Little Baba Yaga became envious of such fun, and she decided to show herself. She spat, blew, as her mother taught, and said the magic words. “Hut, hut, turn your back to the forest and your front to the people.” A moment, and everyone saw her. The children were very surprised when a log hut on two chicken legs suddenly appeared on the forest road. But they were not afraid, because they were modern children, educated, and did not believe in old fairy tales. And sure enough, what came out of the hut was not the old, scary Baba Yaga Bone Leg, but a pretty snub-nosed girl with two pigtails, a sundress and birch bark spatulas.
The guys started making noise, surrounded the girl and started asking who she was and where she was from. What kind of drive does her “izbamobile” have? Little Baba Yaga was embarrassed by such close attention, and she told the children everything, everything about herself. The children were happy that they met the real Baba Yaga and invited her to visit. But first, they asked to take them for a ride on such an unusual vehicle as a living hut on chicken legs.
Oh, and the kids had fun when the hut rushed through the forest faster than the wind in huge leaps. After riding, the guys went to the edge of the forest, where a tour bus was waiting for them. The leaders of the group of schoolchildren were not very surprised by the new girl, deciding that she was from a nearby village and just wanted to get to the city. And the kids confirmed that Yana, as they dubbed little Baba Yaga among themselves, was going to her parents, having visited her grandparents.
A bus rolled merrily along the highway, with children singing songs, and behind it ran a hut on chicken legs. Only no one saw her except her owner, little Baba Yaga.
Baba Yaga arrived in a big modern city
The city amazed the girl with its scale and noise. With her mouth open, little Baba Yaga no longer sang songs with the others, but gazed in amazement at the huge skyscrapers and multi-story buildings. Tall and wide bridges, endless streams of cars, and many, many other wonders of the modern city. The children took her to the zoo, museum, circus, rode on the carousel, treated her to ice cream and cotton candy. Little Baba Yaga was happy. But all good things come to an end. This day is over too. The guys ran home, agreeing to meet tomorrow.
And little Baba Yaga, sighing sadly, also went to sleep in her hut on chicken legs, which was quietly parked on the playground. And since then, young Baba Yaga plays with children and even goes to school. She really wanted to learn to read and write as deftly as her new friends.
This is the story that happened in our city. Don't believe me? Then look around and take a closer look. Perhaps you, too, will see a low hut on chicken legs, walking sedately along the pedestrian path. And from the window a cute little Baba Yaga will smile at you and cheerfully wave her hand.
BABA YAGA: WHERE IS THE GIRL? HOW DID YOU ESCAPE?!.. (fairy tale)A TALE ABOUT BABU YAGA.
Where is the girl? - Baba Yaga attacked the cat. - I was just here, where did you go?
“Ugh,” the cat purred, licking his paw.
- How did you escape? - Baba Yaga was taken aback. - She couldn’t escape! Why are you sitting here? He should have pounced on her and scratched her!
“You see, what’s the matter, mistress…” the cat thoughtfully stared at its claws, “she gave me sour cream.”
- You?
- Me.
- Sour cream?
- Yum.
- Is that really possible? And did you eat it?!
- So what? - the cat stretched and yawned widely. “I’ve been serving you for almost a hundred years, and you haven’t even poured me sour milk.” And here - sour cream!
- I forbade you!
“I respect you very much, mistress,” the cat twitched his ears, “but I respect sour cream too.”
- And this is instead of gratitude! - Yaga shook her head reproachfully. - No, to say thank you to the old lady for the hundred years you lived. He also reproaches curdled milk! Do you even know how long cats live on average?
- Come on, nonsense, mistress. Don't worry. One bowl of sour cream won't do anything for me.
- From a whole bowl?! - Baba Yaga closed her eyes.
“One more life, one less,” the cat shrugged. - I still have eight of them left.
Baba Yaga frowned and looked thoughtfully out the window.
- So-so... Why did the dogs let her through? Hey, there you are! Mongrels! Come here!
“Don’t yell,” the cat yawned. - They won't come. They are sleeping.
- How do they sleep?
- So. They've eaten and digested.
- What... are they digesting?
- Sausage. - The cat narrowed his eyes and sighed barely noticeably. - Sausage is good. Although... okay, sour cream is also good.
- Herods! - Baba Yaga sat upside down and sobbed. - Why am I feeding you and drinking you strictly according to your diet? So that you can give me relief from gastritis overnight?
“Brrrrr, mistress,” the cat purred conciliatoryly, “the dogs also need to unwind.” I haven’t had a stale crust in my mouth for a hundred years, it’s scary to say!
- It’s scary - just keep quiet! - the old woman shouted.
The cat complacently fell silent, turned on its side and began to catch its tail, purring quietly.
- Catch up with her, or what? - the old woman said thoughtfully after a while.
- On what, on a broom? - the cat snorted.
“By the way,” Baba Yaga narrowed her eyes angrily, “in Europe, as I heard, witches fly astride black cats.”
“I’m untrained,” the cat grinned, “and restive.”
Baba Yaga turned away and fell silent.
- Mistress, and mistress?
- What?
- What would you do with her if you caught up with her? Fried it and ate it?
- What am I, what kind of animal? - the old woman was offended. - How can I eat it? I’ve been living for three hundred years, and everything to me: “Baba Yaga, bone leg...” And she called me grandmother!
The old woman sobbed and wiped her eyes with the corner of her handkerchief.
“Here I collected apples for her path... And pies with jam...” she admitted and smiled shyly at the stunned cat.

POSTSCRIPTUM: Well, where, in what country can you find such a charming old lady as our Baba Yaga?! And the main thing is that it does not cause any fear in children. Just a charming creature. Our fairy tales are the best and kindest in the world.
So Emelya came to Baba Yaga, turned the hut on chicken legs towards his front, towards the forest with his back, entered and gasped. In a perfectly clean room, Emelya saw an incredibly beautiful woman!..
- Hello beauty! - said the shocked Emelya. -Where is Baba Yaga?
“I’m glad for you, Emelya,” the beauty answered, “that you saw my true face.” Persons whose inner world is burdened with nasty thoughts and vile deeds present me in the same ugly form as their soul is ugly, and people with a pure soul see me as you see me today. I am a mirror in which a person sees the reflection of his personality. I am Yaga. Are you coming to me on business or just for fun?
And then the fairy tale begins... This is our non-Pindos Soul." 
Who is Baba Yaga?
Research project for schoolchildren. Theme: Baba Yaga
methodologist of MUDO Children's and Youth Children's Youth City Cheremkhovo Olga Nikolaevna Pilipey.Description of material: This material will be useful to teachers and students of general education institutions, teachers of additional education.
Slide 1 (title)
Research
Topic of my research: Baba Yaga - a mythical character or a real woman.(slide 2) Purpose of the study: Study and analyze the image of Baba Yaga.
(slide 3) Research objectives:
- Get acquainted with the features of the image of Baba Yaga.
- Study the history of the name.
- Find out the historical basis of the image of Baba Yaga.
(slide 4) Hypothesis:
Let's assume that Baba Yaga is a real woman. Then why is she a representative of dark forces in Russian folk tales, lives alone in a dense forest and everyone is afraid of her. Let's try to figure this out!
1. A fairy tale is a beautiful creation of art. (slide 5) Scientists interpret the fairy tale differently. Some of them strive to characterize fairy-tale fiction as independent of reality, while others want to understand how the attitude of folk storytellers to the surrounding reality was refracted in the fantasy of fairy tales. (slide 6 photo of B.Ya. with a bear)
We are accustomed to considering a fairy tale as something implausible. Remember Pushkin: “A fairy tale is a lie...”? (slide 7) However, our ancestors took fairy tales more seriously. There was no talk of any “fairy-tale never-before-seen thing.” In ancient times, the world of Russian people was divided into two equal parts - the good world, reality, and the evil, otherworldly, but also absolutely real. These worlds were constantly in contact with each other. (slide 8 photo by B.Ya.) We all remember how difficult and full of dangers the road to the Far Far Away Kingdom is, that the entrance to the mysterious world is somewhere on the border of earth and sky, in a dense impenetrable forest where no human has ever set foot. This is how the image of Baba Yaga appeared in fairy tales. Who can you ask for directions to an unprecedented land, who can you find out the truth about magic spells and unheard-of weapons? Only at Baba Yaga's.
Who is Baba Yaga - one of the most famous figures of Russian folk tales or unknown ones? (slide 9 survey who is Baba Yaga?)
I asked this question to the children from my children's association and offered 3 possible answers: most of the children (73%) believe that this is an old witch living in a dense forest. In the minds of other guys (27%) she is a witch and a sorceress.
(slide 10) Baba Yaga is the most complex and controversial image in the fairy-tale world. According to the most general ideas, this is a terrible Old Woman, with a long nose and a bone leg, who mainly lies on the stove in her hut on chicken legs, (slide 11 photo by B.Ya.) or rushes over Russia on his mortar, and has a very bad character. Although, if you talk to her politely, she may become compassionate and even show you the way and give you the treasured ball that will take you to your destination.
2. Many scientists and researchers tried to guess what was hidden behind the terrible shell of this Old Woman. (slide 12 survey Why is B.Ya. called Yaga?) Why is Baba Yaga called Yaga? I asked the guys from my association about this. Of the proposed answers, 44% chose the option: because she is lame and hunchbacked; 39% of the class consider Baba Yaga Yaga because she flies in a mortar; and only 17% of the guys chose the option: they live alone and dress differently from everyone else.
As the encyclopedic dictionary tells us:
“YAGA,” Baba Yaga, a fairy-tale character who lives in a dense forest; witch".
Vladimir Dal in his “Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language” writes that a yaga is “a kind of witch or an evil spirit under the guise of an ugly old woman.”
The image of Baba Yaga in fairy tales is made up of various details. (slide 13) According to V.Ya. Proppa, “the fairy tale knows three different forms of yaga.” This is, firstly, the giver yaga to whom the hero comes. She questions the hero, presents him with a horse and rich gifts. (slide 14) The second type is a kidnapper yaga who carries away children. (slide 15) The third type is the warrior yaga.
(slide 16) Baba - the first part of the name shows that our heroine is very old. After all, our words “baba - grandmother” are intended to refer to people of the older generation who have grandchildren. Therefore, the first part of the name not only marks that she is a woman, but also indicates her childbearing infirmity and a certain life experience.
Yaga - the second part of the name cannot be interpreted unambiguously. Some believe that our ancestors called a forest woman “yaga,” noting her quarrelsome character or special clothing.
(slide 17 photo of Yagi in a mortar) Baba Yaga usually moves like a witch or an unclean spirit. So, in fairy tales she rides in an iron mortar, pushing it with a pestle and covering her tracks with a broom.
In fairy tales, Baba Yaga most often lives in a dense and impenetrable forest, in a hut on chicken legs; Moreover, not only its appearance, but also its very way of life is unnatural for humans.
(slide 18 photos of huts)
The fence around her hut is made of human bones, and on the fence instead of pots hang skulls. In the oven, Baba Yaga roasts (or at least tries to roast) the kidnapped children.
Baba Yaga's appearance is hardly described anywhere. She is always in action - flying on a mortar, shouting at her servants, catching up with heroes. And, judging by her actions, she is not a weak and feeble old woman, but rather energetic, strong and strong-willed.
(slide 19) After analyzing the literature, I came to the conclusion that Baba Yaga is:
- an old woman endowed with magical powers, a witch, an old forest sorceress, warriors and kidnappers;
- female evil spirit, child thief, evil spirit;
- in most beliefs, Baba Yaga was very reminiscent of a witch, as well as forest and elemental spirits (goblin, mermaid) and spirits living in the hut and associated with spinning.
3. (slide 20, 6 photos) All fairy tales about Baba Yaga begin with the fact that the main character leaves his home, and his fate leads him to a strange strange world.
The fact is that ancient peoples had an initiation rite - the initiation of young men into men. The young man had to prove that he was already old enough, that he could be relied upon, that he had learned the wisdom of his elders, that he was a worthy warrior and hunter. The initiation rite was always accompanied by various tests of strength, dexterity and ingenuity. Who carried out such tests and where?
This had to be a special person, wise with life experience, and the ritual had to take place in a special place - where, according to the beliefs of the ancients, young people could receive Wisdom and Knowledge from their ancestors. It may very well be that Baba Yaga in reality is a female priestess, the head of a clan, who tested applicants for adulthood in a secluded and sacred place in the forest. She is wise and can teach anyone - from Ivan the Tsarevich to Ivan the Fool.
Scientists have become very interested in the fact that in some fairy tales, not only young men, but also fair-haired maidens come to Baba Yaga. Moreover, they live a long time and do hard work. It may very well be that in ancient times, beautiful and intelligent girls (Vasilisa the Beautiful and Vasilisa the Wise) were given a special role in the tribe, and they also underwent a certain rite of passage. By the way, there is another interpretation of the word “Yaga” - it means “decisive”.
Another prototype of Baba Yaga in real life could be healers and witches who settled far from people, often in the forest. There they collected medicinal herbs and, if necessary, treated sick people from surrounding villages. Many considered them associated with evil spirits and were afraid of them. Therefore, in people’s imaginations they could well be embodied in the terrible and mysterious image of Baba Yaga.
(slide 21 survey Do you like B.Ya.?)
CONCLUSION
During my research, I found answers to many questions. Based on fairy tales and additional literature, I drew a conclusion about the essence of the image of Baba Yaga. Conducting a survey among the students of my association in conclusion, I asked, do you like Baba Yaga? Half of the guys said: “not very much” (50%), 45% of the class don’t like Baba Yaga. And only 5% of guys find Yaga an interesting character.
(slide 22 during the research...)
Many more generations of children will grow up reading Russian fairy tales, where Baba Yaga is evil and insidious, but at the same time funny and amusing. Lately they have found more and more positive traits in Baba Yaga and even call her the keeper of the hearth.
(slide 23 photo of Yagi) The study showed that the image of Baba Yaga carries a great meaning. I found out that fairy tales about Baba Yaga are in many ways a reflection of folk myths and beliefs, and those, in turn, are half-forgotten facts from real life. Baba Yaga, which modern people consider simply a fairy-tale character, was once believed not only by children, but also by adults. Tales of Baba Yaga are a repository of information about the ancient life of the people, about real events that took place a very, very long time ago.
(slide 24 literature)
Thus, we can say that I have accomplished the goals and objectives set in this work. This concludes my work. Thank you for your attention!

Girl Nadya and Baba Yaga
Age: 6-9 years old.
Focus: High anxiety, fearfulness. Feelings of guilt for violating parental prohibitions.
Key phrase:"I'm afraid!"
Once upon a time there lived a little girl, Nadya. She lived with her mother and father on the edge of the village. Everything was fine with them, only sometimes, like all small children, Nadya was capricious and did not obey her mother.
One day Nadya and her mother went for a walk in the forest, and it was so nice in the forest! It smells like strawberries and mushrooms, birds are singing all around, the sun is shining brightly. Nadya and her mother walked for a long time and admired the forest, got tired and decided to rest. Mom lay down on the soft grass and soon fell asleep. At first Nadya sat next to her and played with Ladybug, and when she flew away, Nadya became bored and went for a walk in the forest alone.
She was so carried away that she did not notice how lost she was. Nadya walked and walked, further and further into the forest, and suddenly she saw a hut. Before she had time to enter there, the insidious Baba Yaga grabbed Nadya by the hand and shouted: “Yeah, gotcha, naughty girl! Now I’ll eat you.” Baba Yaga chattered her sharp teeth. Nadya was so scared that she closed her eyes in fear. And Baba Yaga growled a little more and said: “Okay, today I I won't eat you, I already had dinner and want to sleep. And you, capricious child, tidy up the hut, wash the floor and wash the dishes." With these words, the terrible and evil Baba Yaga locked the door and went to bed.
The next morning, when Baba Yaga woke up, she didn’t even recognize her hut: everything in it was tidy, the floor was washed and the dishes were shining. And our Nadyusha sat in the corner and cried, she so wanted to return home to her affectionate mother. The evil Baba Yaga felt ashamed, she took pity on the girl and said: “Why are you whining, little girl, when I have a holiday, because my hut has never been as clean and beautiful as it is now. I am very pleased with this, thank you.” And now the kind Baba Yaga baked a pie and treated Nadyusha, and then accompanied her to the path to the village, and they parted as good friends. And Nadya’s mom and dad had been waiting for her at home for a long time.
ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION
Tell me how Nadya was capricious and did not obey her mother.
How did Nadya “unenchant” Baba Yaga?
At first they all seem to be girls, and then they mutate and become what we have
and you know how it is with niggas. When the nigers call each other nigers, this is normal, and when Bely calls them nigers, this is an insult. the same with women. They even call other women women women.
welcome to the world of double standards!A long time ago...
do you think only women? also chicks, pots, frosts, oh so many... this is because they probably don’t respect the female gender, or it’s more convenient for them.
Apparently the girl is a good-looking girl or a non-show-off otter, not the same type, a pretentious bitch and waiting for money from a man, stupidly for the sake of profit with you.
mne kak bi bilo ne osobo prijatno uznatj 4to moja devushka esho i v 4uzih sisjkah kupaeca))
to a guy “you’re like a woman”, I don’t know why, but I would take “you’re like a man” as a compliment))
A woman with balls is a powerful woman who carries all the routine, obligations, problems, everyday life, as well as “male” work on her shoulders, which are no longer fragile. It’s typical of her: “I said, so it will be, this is not discussed.”
And the tomboy is a rude jerk, a girl without feminine manners, with behavior that is indecent for her.
No, she’s a slutty woman, far from a girl) no one dumped her on her own. YAGA or Yaga-Baba, Baba-Yaga, Yagaya and Yagavaya or Yagishna and Yaginichna, a kind of witch, an evil spirit, under the guise of an ugly old woman. Is there a yaga with horns on his forehead (a stove pillar with crows)? Baba Yaga, a bone leg, rides in a mortar, presses with a pestle, covers the trail with a broom. Her bones come out from under her body in places; nipples hang below the waist; she goes for human meat, kidnaps children, her mortar is iron, she is driven by devils; there is a terrible storm under this train, everything is groaning, the cattle are roaring, there is pestilence and death; whoever sees the yaga becomes mute. Yagishna is the name of an angry, scolding woman.
