Story

Some people denounce household spirits as nuisances, while others welcome them with gifts. In Germany, where kobolds are believed to inhabit trees, intricate puppets were carved from the wood to preserve the kobold’s spirit. They were placed in trunks and stored in the house. Only certain individuals were authorized to open them. Kobolds would perform helpful tasks as long as they were treated with respect. But they could also be mischievous tricksters. The tiny kobold stands firmly in the forest, a place full of endless possibilities. Spirits can be seen integrated into the fauna, a testament to the spiritual force omnipresent in the sacred environment.

Divinatory meaning

This is a time to work hard, save money, and use your skills wisely.
