The Baba Yaga one confused the CRAP out of me, because EVERY story I ever read involving her, involved the house being on two CHICKEN LEGS, not stilts. Also, the fact that for all intensive purposes, Baba Yaga is a fairy tale/folklore character, not a religious persona...

A few quibbles:

you should probably accept alawite and alevi for sects translateable as "party of Ali." Also, the standard pinyin is "Zhuangzi" instead of "Zhuongzi."
