Ruth Blake - Guitar and vocals Ben Capp - U-bass, drum kit, shaker Tristan Stibbards - Frame drum Song and video inspired by Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ re-telling of the Russian folk tale, ’Baba Yaga’, or ’Vasilisa the Wise’ from her book ’Women Who Run With the Wolves’. The song also weaves in the the myth of La Loba, the woman who sings over the bones, as well as one of William Blake’s infamous Proverbs from Hell, “Drive your cart and your plow over the bones of the dead’. Infinite gratitude from my heart to these powerful sources of inspiration. This song honours the energy of Baba Yaga, Kali, La Loba - where the new is knitted out of the old; the fierce and cold compassion of death breathes
