In Slavic mythology, the goddess of the forest is known as Lesovik (or sometimes named Baba Yaga in a broader context). Lesovik embodies nature's wild and untamed aspects, representing both beauty and danger inherent in the forest. She is often depicted as a protector of wildlife and forests, connecting humanity to nature. Her character illustrates the duality of nature, seen as both nurturing and threatening in Slavic folklore.
