Explore the folklore of the trickster, villain, and rescuer known as Baba Yaga in a new light.

“With Becoming Baba Yaga, Kris Spisak presents a robust work of scholarship. Baba Yaga is a wily shapeshifter, nearly impossible to pin down—but Spisak miraculously transforms alongside her, ever keeping up.” —from the foreword by GennaRose Nethercott, bestselling author of Thistlefoot
 
When darkness, fear, and instability inundate our daily lives, folktale figures like Baba Yaga speak to the dichotomy of our existence—the hope and the horror, the magic and the mundane. At once an old hag and an enchantress, a demon and wish granter, a feminist and nothing more than a fairytale, Baba Yaga is an endlessly complex folktale character.
 
Becoming Baba Yaga provides an in-depth look at the Baba Yaga mythos and history through Slavic folklore. Filled with historical and cultural context, analyses, and the stories themselves that add depth to the conversation. A comprehensive resource for anyone hoping to learn more about this ambiguous character and how her multifaceted presence still ripples through the present day, Becoming Baba Yaga is as thoughtful as it is illuminating.
 
Spisak explores Baba Yaga’s connection to nature as an Earth goddess and as an herbalist. She also delves into the Shadow Self and Baba Yaga’s aspect as a trickster and places her in a modern context as not merely a witch of the woods but also as an archetype and force for finding your own path. Becoming Baba Yaga shares how she is both a force for good as much as evil and a feminist before her time.

“I love the fresh, bold style of The Rosebud Tarot, the renaming of many of the Majors (the High Priestess is the Witch, the Empress is the Lifegiver, the Hierophant is the Professor, etc.), and how the court cards have been transformed into four tiers of energies (Curiosity, Velocity, Generosity, Sovereignty).”
—Benebell Wen, author of The Holistic Tarot
 
The rose is a through line in The Rosebud Tarot, a rose-gold thread weaving its way into each line of the Major Arcana and into the heart of every Minor. The playfulness and sharp edges of the rose shimmer through every reading, each card’s dream-layer collage a petal of insight.
 
The Rosebud Tarot is a 78-card tarot deck based on the structure found in the classic Rider-Waite-Smith. Its exquisite images are digital collages, created by Amanda Lee Stilwell, which offer a dreamscape of pathways into the tarot.
 
Its guidebook, written by Diana Rose Harper, gives keys to meaning, not just keywords to memorize.
 
Several of the cards have been renamed, including the court cards. For example,

• THE FOOL becomes THE YOUTH
• THE HIGH PRIESTESS becomes THE WITCH
• THE EMPRESS becomes THE LIFEGIVER
• THE HIEROPHANT becomes THE PROFESSOR
• TEMPERANCE becomes ALCHEMY
• JUDGMENT becomes EMERGENCE

When it comes to court cards, the names have been changed to highlight a core quality that each embodies:

• PAGES become CURIOSITY
• KNIGHTS become VELOCITY
• QUEENS become GENEROSITY
• KINGS become SOVEREIGNTY

And the deck’s creators have chosen to highlight the elements for each Minor Arcana suit, rather than using the traditional titles.

• PENTACLES become EARTH
• CUPS become WATER
• WANDS become FIRE
• SWORDS become AIR

"Suddenly the sky overhead is alive. From east and southeast, west and northwest, large black birds fly, travelling in their groups of hundreds, swirling, cawing, interweaving, dancing a greeting in the air. The sky is thick, black, feathered. We watch in awe as they combine and dissipate above our heads, as though we are lying on the bottom of the ocean, looking up at the surface world. Then, without signal or warning, they circle the heart of the wood and land in hidden roosts. Silence falls once more."

After months of feeling lost and burned out, a chance encounter with crows begins an adventure in the dark woods—inner and outer—leading to a strange and powerful initiation.

Three-time Nautilus award-winning author Lucy H. Pearce’s previous bestselling book Burning Woman was an initiation of fire. She of the Sea an initiation of water and Crow Moon is an initiation of earth and air, a way back to the heart of ourselves through wild revelation.

Strikingly illustrated by the author, with contributions from over 30 women—artists, healers, authors—who have also been called by the strange magic of crows at decisive moments in their lives.

Enter the dark woods. Follow the crow, the moon, and the mushroom on a journey of transformation and remembering.
