Feeding Baba Yaga

I am still processing the image and energy of Baba Yaga. Still reading the analysis of Dr. Estes and feeling sort of powerful, lately. There is the sort of under-current within, like the underground river that is running freely and constantly within the soul...it is the divine nature, the pure intuition, the holy spirit, the wild woman..the name is irrelevant....What is relevant is the constant flow of truth...the enthusiastic energy field that lies just underneath the surface. This is what I have been tapping into lately. I liked reading about "feeding Baba Yaga". There is much truth in that. In order for our true nature and natural joy and exuberance to grow we must feed that energy with nourishment. How do we do that? More specifically how will you (or I) feed Baba Yaga, today? Vasalisa feeds her doll little pieces of bread as she walks through the forest. It occurs to me that this is feeding the natural intuition...which is also very necessary, but differs from feeding Baba Yaga...I suppose we must feed both. As I become more aware of the doll in my pocket, of my own inner knowing, I also become more aware of Baba Yaga's insatiable hunger. She is ravenous for Joy, for new ideas, adventure, creative outlets, altruistic pursuits...and she is entirely unafraid. It seems the more we allow our intution to prevail the closer we get to our true exuberance. Which is exactly like listening to the Holy Spirit who will guide us to the Truth of God. How very interesting and exciting this concept is! So, how will I feed Baba Yaga today? Well today I will go to the final Adult Literacy Training and feed her/my need for alturistic pursuits. Then I will come home and give myself a beauty night complete with a bubble bath, manicure and pedicure to feed her/my need for feeling beautiful (I realize the Baba Yaga in the story doesnt care about physical beauty, but my Baba Yaga still does!) I also plan to continue to knit the scarf I started feeding her/my need for creativity. I Would love to hear about your plans.
