I found a vintage 5 column Scandinavian Klukflaske at an estate sale 🥹

Also known as a Holmegaard "talking bottle" - A chamber above, a chamber below, a column each for the four directions and a central wormhole in between, all connected and yet separated by thin panes of glass 🥹 I'm EXTREMELY excited about this bottle. It came with red dyed water in it, which is traditionally used to highlight the design if it's not being used to store schnapps. The name Klukflaske or kluk kluk is Danish onomotopoeia for the clucking/glugging sound it makes when poured.

:: edit:: there are no specific historical magic ties to this type of bottle that I'm aware of, aside from the fact that it came from a dead woman's house, and the above/below/directions chambers is just what I see as far as how I'm going to use it in spellwork. Do with that info what you will! It's pretty damn magical to me though.

::Edit 2:: I also just learned that the company that made these vessels was founded by a woman in 1825! Henriette Holmegaard! Founder of Holmegaard Glassworks! One of Denmark's first female business leaders! Check it out!

Found a new spell bottle 🥹

It's called a Holmegaard Klukflaske or a talking bottle. Made a long time ago, hand blown in Scandinavia. This one has 5 hollow columns/veins, an upper and lower chamber 😌 The veins are separated by thin panes of glass! It is clear glass filled with red colored water (this is traditional to accentuate the design, link to video in comments!) but would typically be filled with schnapps or other celebratory alcohol. The channels cause it to make a distinct "glug glug" sound when poured, so it is also known as a "kluk kluk" or talking bottle! It's huge! The size of a wine bottle! I found it at an estate sale in my neighborhood for $30 🥲

I currently live in an area experiencing record extreme drought when it is normally a temperate rain forest. It rained a few days ago, but I just called my local fire department and there is still a Burn Ban in effect. If you live in an area under a Burn Ban, please, light a candle instead. It's not worth getting fined or worse, starting the next wildfire. Happy Beltane!

I live in an area currently affected by record extreme drought, when this place is typically a temperate rain forest. It rained a few days ago, but I just called my local fire department and there is still a Burn Ban in effect. I know it sucks but if you live in an area under a Burn Ban please just light a candle. It's not worth getting fined or worse, being the reason the next wildfire starts.

Please don't get fined, please don't potentially be the reason the next wildfire starts. Beltane is a fire festival. Please light a candle instead.

In a pinch I use it as a travel one-hitter, but it functions much better as a joint holder.
