Description
For NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) my teen started working on a queer YA retelling of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. We did some YouTube research about the Four Horsemen and the Book of Revelations, also getting sucked in to the History Channel's Secrets of the Bible - surprisingly well done. The sequence of videos skewed our next sets of YouTube recommendations somewhat, and we ended up watching a PBS video about Baba Yaga...and her Horsemen. Whoa.
In Revelations Chapter 6, the lamb opens seven seals on a special scroll. When the first seal is opened, a white horse and rider appear. 2nd seal: Red horse and rider. 3rd seal: Black horse and rider. 4th seal: Death with a pale-green horse
In the popular Russian folk tale of Baba Yaga and Vasilisa, on her journey to get fire from Baba Yaga, Vasilisa first encounters Baba Yaga's white horseman, then her red horseman, then her black horseman, and finally, Baba Yaga herself - the folk tale - ified Great Goddess, mistress of birth, life, and, especially, Death.
