A man who visits three of these places while searching for the “thrice-ninth” kingdom is told to blow three horns successively louder to avoid getting eaten. A piece of bread covered in salt and wrapped in cloth can pacify angry spirits in these places, which may be occupied by benevolent female spirits with chicken beaks called kikimora. While following a doll’s instructions, a girl witnesses three subsequent riders wearing white, red, and black entering one of these places. A barabashka is an angry subtype of a spirit of these places called domovoi. Vasilisa the Beautiful sought fire in one of these places surrounded by a fence of bones and supported by chicken legs. For 10 points, sweets make up what type of location in the Grimm Brothers fairy tale “Hansel and Gretel?” ■END■
