Oven
Like so many symbols, the oven is yet another manifestation of the female
WOMB, yet it also represents the ideas associated
with the HEARTH. It is domesticated FIRE,
and in fairy tales such as the Grimms Brothers Hansel and Gretl the oven
may be interpreted as the stake at which witches were once burned to erase
all physical traces of their existence.
