DescriptionWhat I personally think of as the Eastern European version of a Four Leaf Clover. In Slavic folklore the raskovnik or razkovniche is a magical plant, alleged to have the power to unlock or uncover anything. However it is notoriously difficult to recognize and reputedly only certain chthonic animals are able to identify it. Hedgehogs were thought to be capable and involuntarily assisting you in obtaining one. BUT… If you found one you better be quick to pick it and hide it away! As the hedgehog would try and swallow it after one use.Sought after by treasure hunters, sorcerers and herbalists who desired its magic powers for personal benefit. It was believed to have alchemic ability to transmute iron into gold. Making the person who possessed one forever happy or wealthy, and made true whatever its owner desired.The Razkovniche is also the common Bulgarian name for the plant European waterclover (Marsilea quadrifolia). In its appearance, it has many similarities with the descriptions of the mythical raskovnik.Created on the auspicious Full Moon. Whispered over with spells and prayers, laminated, placed in bottles, anointed with oil, and sealed with wax.You will receive one random Raskovnik | European waterclover | False Clover | Four Leaf Clover
