Nutcracker "Boletus", beech wood
Decorative nutcracker in the shape of a porcini mushroom - made from beech wood. Cracking hazelnuts and walnuts becomes child's play for adults and children...
The nut no longer slips when cracking, and shell fragments don't fly around, as the nut cracks open in a controlled manner due to the coarse screw thread.
The Porcini Mushroom in Mysticism:
Porcini mushrooms, as well as other mushrooms, can grow in a circle; in folklore, these circles are called witch's rings or fairy rings.
The root system of the mushrooms forms in such a way that the mushroom fruiting bodies form a circle or settle in a circular shape.
In some places, these mushroom rings are still considered gathering places for fairies or so-called witches.
Witch's or Fairy Ring in Superstition and Folk Tradition:
When mushroom circles form, the mushroom root system first grows outwards in a circle, which then allows the fruiting bodies (mushrooms) to grow on the outer edge of the circle.
In folklore, these witch's rings were or are considered mystical gathering places for witches or fairies. Entering the circles is said to have magical effects and is therefore also considered forbidden.
In the fairy or elf ring, some believe, fairies or elves dance their spiritual round dance at midnight...
(To avoid slipping into the realm of fairies and elves, entering the fairy ring is considered forbidden in superstition)
Karl Bartsch published in his work "Albrecht von Halberstadt und Ovid im Mittelalter" an attempt to reconstruct ancient folk traditions, in which, among other things, forest women (Waltfrouwen) danced and sang in sacred groves in a round dance in circles. These forest women could have been wise women with a fairy-like aura, who were later called witches.
The spiritual "occult" dances in mushroom rings (elf rings) would have had a special nature-religious significance here - in which both the fly agaric and the porcini mushroom were particularly considered in shamanic rituals by the "wise women" (fairies, elves, elves as light figures).
