~*~ Mortars & Pestles ~*~
Mortars and Pestles are used to grind herbs, nuts, seeds, as well as grind together magickal potions.
Mortars and pestles were traditionally used in pharmacies to crush various ingredients prior to preparing prescriptions.
Mortars are also used in cooking to prepare ingredients such as guacamole and pesto sauce, as well as grinding spices into a powder form.
Native American tribes used mortars carved into the bedrock to grind acorns and other nuts.
In Slavic myth, the witch Baba Yaga used a mortar and pestle for travelling. Roman writer Lucian told a tale of an Egyptian priest of Isis using a pestle for spells; the tale inspired Goethe's Sorcerer's Apprentice, which was animated in Disney's Fantasia.
Here is an interesting article on the history of Mortars.
