A German Smoker Witch is a fantastic decoration for
Halloween, Christmas, or even
Walpurgisnacht! I know we associate
Räuchermannchen with Christmas. But, since smokers are just decorative incense burners, you can display different styles all year. What child wouldn’t love watching a smoking witch? Or a witch with a bubbly cauldron? Incense comes in many scents; you can easily find cones that match the season.
Don’t forget that Germany has a strong tradition of Witches, so it isn’t unusual to see them in the household. My mom (and I) have
kitchen witches guarding over our cooking! And of course, Grimm’s Fairy tales are LOADED with witches! So it makes perfect sense to have smoker witches, too.
Why not set a new tradition, and get a German Smoker Witch to decorate your home for the Holidays…
German Smoker Witch
A German Smoker Witch works just like a regular German Smoker Incense Burner. These hand-carved wooden German smoker figures open up so you can put a small cone of incense on a metal plate inside them. Light the cone, and put the burner back together…Sweet-smelling smoke will come out of holes in the witch… generally from her mouth or pipe. The Gingerbread Witch holds piping-hot Gingerbread, with steam rising from the bowl.
I love the details on some of these witches; they have cats or birds with them, some carry a cauldron, and all have a real straw broom, looking ready to zoom off into the night!
These are not “toys”! They aren’t something you would give a child to play with, but kids do love watching them. But like all smokers hand-made from the Erzgebirge, these Smokers are collectible, and for many families, they become heirlooms.
