Baba Yaga Statue
Baba Yaga says, "Intelligence ripens with age." In
Slavic oral traditions, Baba Yaga was the old crone of autumn who
lived in the last sheaf of harvested grain. Fittingly, the woman who
bound that sheaf would bear a child the next spring, for the old Baba
was also guardian of the fountain of the waters of life. Her legend
suggests she was the preserver of herbal knowledge and medicinal
healing. Let us return this wise crone to glory!

Odin -- Supreme Norse sky and wind deity.
Odin was worshiped throughout disparate cultures and
has conflicting legends ascribed to him. He appears in guises ranging
from a hunched old man with one eye wearing a deep slouch hat to the "Allfather"
of gods and men. Some legends have him as a mighty wizard and others
as a mortal king who lead his people to their new homeland.
Though some today consider him the equivalent of Zeus or Jupiter in
the Norse pantheon, the Romans actually equated him with Mercury.

Thor -- the Thunderer.
Handsome Norse Thor is a great adventurer, often
skirmishing with giants. His weapon and emblem is his hammer, Mjolnir,
and he possesses a belt that doubles his
strength.
On his travels, he is sometimes hoodwinked into performing astonishing
feats; such as drinking the ocean dry, wrestling with old age or
lifting the foundations of the world, only to discover the true
identity of his adversary.
In one myth, giants stole Thor's hammer and he had to resort to Loki's
trick of dressing as Freya and a bride for the giant king to be able
to get close enough to retrieve Mjolnir.
During the twilight of the gods, it is said Thor and the World Serpent
perish together in the battle at the end of the world.
Odin" is known as the Norse All-Father. He sits astride his 8-legged
horse, Sleipnir, who carries souls to the unseen realms. The spear named
Gar, when thrown, will always return. Through ritual self-sacrifice, Odin
discovered the Runes while hanging from the Yggdrasill, or world tree. A
parton of warriors, he was skilled in magic and a master of primal forces.
Known as the One-Eyed God, Odin sacrificed his eye to gain wisdom from the
fountain of Mimir.
