Frog on a Fly Agaric Mushroom Ornament
Original price was: CAD $35.00.CAD $30.00Current price is: CAD $30.00.
The Frog on a Fly Agaric Mushroom Ornament is a beautifully detailed Hand Blown Glass ornament from Ukraine. It is perfect to adorn any altar or Christmas tree.
Fly agaric or Amanita muscaria has long been a popular icon for Christmas festivities in Europe. Found on Christmas cards and as a replica decoration for Christmas trees and wreaths as a symbol of good luck. It also has a long history of use in religious ceremonies.
Long associated with myths, folklore and magic. Sadly many of these tales portray Toads and frogs as demons and creatures associated with the devil. Some viewed them as representative of good fortune, protection, rain, fertility, resurrection, and as a stage of spiritual awakening. In European folklore it was bad luck to kill a toad or frog, as “they housed the souls of the dead“. During the Middle Ages toads went from being a sacred symbol to a manifestation of evil. The toad (along with frogs) became associated with witches. Now seen as a devoted magical animal used to carry out all sorts of diabolical deeds. Many depictions of the Slavic witch Baba Yaga are with this mushroom.
You will receive 1 little handsome frog (and or toad we are not quite sure) on a mushroom
