I just finished a book about her. I highly recommend it.
Baba Yaga’s Book of Witchcraft: Slavic Magic from the Witch of the Woods https://g.co/kgs/KGnGNJF
I have been working with her through my tarot deck. She has claimed my Wildwood tarot deck which is kinda celtic but she is all about the woods so I am sure that is why she wanted to be able to talk to me through it.

She also taught me to put my ancestral altar to the east wall of my home and to make sure to feed my house spirt who lives in the pitch ( 
fireplace). I feed ir tea and porridge or a part of a waffle every Thursday.

It is because it is charming!!! That book is amazing. It is so full of animism. It made me look at things differently.
Also all the crafts it teaches tlyou to make to honor baba yaga and use her magic is amazing and to connect with her world.
@starborn I can’t wait for you to read it and let me know what you think. It is my favorite book I have read in quite some time.

Same. It’s adorable. 
We are the first people to live in the place we’re currently in. The developers only finished building it last year. So I assume if we have a house spirit, it would be very young? 
I suppose I’ll have to read more to find out how that works!

i started reading the book on baba yaga and it’s very interesting i’ve heard of baba yaga but her stories aren’t so popular in my area
there’s some advice on how to invite a domovyk into your home and another for moving one to a new home. it also states that you may move into a home where someone has left their domovyk! so you would have to remove this stranger one to help you and your own one have a peaceful stay. it’s an interesting chapter
Inviting Your Domovyk into Your Home
If you’ve never had a Domovyk live with you, you can invite one to bring you blessings. Before you begin, you need to remember that by inviting a Domovyk, you are inviting your ancestors into your home. This is going to be a lifelong relationship—one you should not enter into without feeling a sense of commitment. Maintaining a relationship with your Domovyk doesn’t require much, but like adopting a pet, you should only begin this process if you will continue it.
To begin, go outside dressed in your best clothes and call out to invite your Domovyk to come to you:
Grandpa Domovyk,
please come into our house,
and tend to your family.
since the domovyk is not just a household spirit but also a link to family lineage and embodies the protective and guiding spirits of forebears i assume there aren’t any young ones

Yes, no young house spirits.
I am so glad you started reading it is an amazing book. I love that prayer.

Ohh! I see. Thanks for sharing that.
Perhaps because she is Baba Roga to some?
I tried playing the demo of Reka and helped Baba Yaga recreate her chicken-legged home.
