"Porcini" nutcracker, 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 alike...
The nut no longer slips away when cracking, and shell fragments do not fly about, as the nut is cracked in a controlled manner by the coarse screw thread.
The porcini mushroom in mysticism:
Porcini mushrooms, as well as other fungi, can grow in a circle; in folklore, these circles are called witch rings or fairy rings.
The root system of the fungi develops in such a way that the mushroom fruit bodies form a circle or settle in a circular pattern.
In some places, these mushroom rings are still considered meeting places for fairies or so-called witches.
Witch or fairy rings in superstition and folk tradition:
When mushroom circles form, the fungal root system growing outward in a circle develops first, which then allows the fruit bodies (mushrooms) to grow on the outer edge of the circle.
In folklore, these witch rings were or are considered mystical meeting places for witches or fairies. Stepping into the circles is said to have magical consequences and is therefore 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, it is considered forbidden by superstition to enter the fairy ring)
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 circular dances in sacred groves. These forest women may have been wise women with a fairy-like aura, who were later referred to as witches.
The spiritual “occult” dances in mushroom rings (elf rings) will have had special nature-religious significance here - in which both the fly agaric and the porcini mushroom were given special attention in shamanic rituals by the “wise women” (fairies, elves, spirits as figures of light).
The "Porcini" nutcracker has the following dimensions:
- Size: approx. 10 x 6.5 cm
Nordwelt recommendation! A lovely gift idea - not just for the Yule festival.
Macadamia nuts are considered the hardest nuts in the world and CANNOT be cracked with this nutcracker.
Suitable for children from 3 years of age.
