Neurospicy Slavic folklore

Folk-art apparel for witches, readers and wandering brains

Awakening Apparel is a small Etsy shop from Maine. It sells illustrated hoodies, tees, crewnecks, stickers and gifts drawn from Slavic folklore, with Baba Yaga as the main character, her walking hut, a black cat, a raven and the forest spirits around her.

The humor comes from ADHD. Baba Yaga forgets the spell, takes the side quest, and runs her mortar on dopamine. It celebrates distractible brains and doesn't mock them.
