The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Has Harry ever met the Baba yaga?
The_Sibelis:
Baba yaga is MW, pretty sure he even named her such in CD?🤔
Anyway, between her staff and the large stone outside of her cottage she'd have a mortar and pestle. Go anywhere and eat anything without consequence under the mask of baba yaga.
For my own reasons I think the stone actually physically links to the lighthouse on DR..
Conspiracy Theorist:
No he uses the names of two of the Norns Skuld and Anthropos who likely gave part or all of their power to create her Mantle.
As I say Ms Lapland is likely the closest match.
The_Sibelis:
Sup G 👀 I see you now. Now I understand. Now I know. 🤙 get ahold of me yea? Sure didn't do it to never come to the boards at all after all. I new persona, a new public identity would be perfect.. except if Kringle tried to call on his Odin Might only to realize it's not Odins battle. Why, then the Gods themselves would be pissed.
Con:
WOJ confirms Mother Winter is, she's Baba Yaga
WOJ: if the Ladies become the Queen, what happens to the Mothers at that point? The thing is that the Mothers are kind of the foundation. So, it’s not so much what happens to them because the little mantles changed. It’s what happens to the little mantles if the big mantles change. So, if someone whacks the being that is, for all intents and purposes, Baba Yaga, and then Mab succeeds, then Mab becomes the new Baba Yaga, and Molly gets drawn up to Mab, and they have to find someone else to become the new Lady. But on the other hand, the Mothers are extremely powerful beings (continued in the cosmology/mantle sub-section)

No; while Skuld is indeed one of the Norns, Anthropos is not.
It's a Greek word... but *not* one of the (Norn-alike) "Fates."
It's used in the ancient Greek copies of the Bible to describe Humanity, Man; Biblical scholars debate whether it explicitly carries a masculine connotation, or explicitly does not, but there is no argument that it stretches to anything related to destiny/fate/etc.
It's... kinda odd (no, very odd!) that Harry used it, in this context.
Was it just a screw-up by Jim, or is this some clue he dropped?
