Baba Yaga and the Mystic

a folklore twist on a real-life tale of infertility and pregnancy loss

Once again, I’m revisiting my experience with infertility and pregnancy loss by blending the folklore of Baba Yaga into my own story. You may want to revisit this previous post for a dose of realism or this one introducing my new relationship with the Slavic crone either before or after reading this story. Or you may want to let this one stand alone. Choose your own adventure, friends.
