Question
In the Kalevala, the northern realm of Pohjola is ruled by one of these figures named Louhi. In Slavic mythology, three horsemen representing day, sun, and night reside near the home of one of these figures. That figure flies in a mortar and has a house with the legs of a chicken. In 1486, Heinrich Kramer wrote a treatise on identifying these people called the Malleus Maleficarum. Nocturnal gatherings of these people, in which they ate babies and kissed the devil’s anus, were known as their namesake “Sabbaths.” For 10 points, Baba Yaga is an example of what magic-practicing women often depicted with black hats and riding broomsticks? ■END■
