What's new

Hidden throughout the Hut

Yaga’s Hut is an evolving discovery of Slavic mythology, art, and worldbuilding.
It grows slowly, through individual artworks, fragments of lore, and ongoing exploration. Some of these explorations have taken the form of small illustrations, which can now be found throughout many pages across the site. Hope you enjoy discovering them.

Newest work

Bathhouse spirit

Bannik

In the suffocating heat of the old bathhouse, Bannik lingers between steam and shadow, guarding the sacred rituals carried out within its walls.

Slavic Dragon

Zmey

Serpent-like dragon of Slavic folklore, a being that moves between sky and earth, never fully belonging to either.
