Feldgeister

Feldgeister (field spirits) or Korndämonen (corn demons) are mythical beings in German folklore that inhabit fields, crops, and trees.

These spirits, often appearing as humans, animals, or hybrids, are believed to protect crops, influence harvests, or bring illnesses. They are tied to the harvest cycle, often taking refuge in the last standing grain stalks before being “trapped” or harvested with the final crop.

Feldgeister Types:

Roggenmuhme (Rye Aunt): A spirit with fire-spouting fingers and a birch rod, known for stealing children.

Bilwis: A barefoot creature, often appearing with a sickle on its toe to cut grain.

Kornwolf (Corn Wolf): A large wolf-like creature with fur resembling cornstalks, believed to inhabit grain fields.

Getreidehahn/Erntehenne (Grain Cock/Harvest Hen): Associated with harvesting, they die when the last stalk is cut.

Tech loot

Picked up a XIAO 1.28″ round display to use with the Seeed XIAO ESP32S3 Sense chip. It piggybacks beautifully.

So now I have a tiny round capacitive screen that has a built-in camera, mic, Wi-Fi, and low-power Bluetooth.

I’m thinking maybe of putting it into the lid of a little wooden chest I have to make it some kind of “mother box,” something I can get artsy-craftsy with, a little burn or carve on the lid to hide the camera and mic. I’d put a lightweight vision model on it and have it react in some way to events in the room.

Maybe flash it a peace sign to get a weather report… or have the mic detect  a knock pattern to give little visual responses?

Facial recognition? Voice commands?

Seeed Studio’s SenseCraft AI platform has a bunch of pre-trained offline models (like face detection and simple object detection)

Poems by amir khusrow (1253-1325 CE)

He visits my town once a year. 
He fills my mouth with kisses and nectar.
I spend all my money on him. Who, girl, your man?
No, a mango.

Leaping and bounding he arrived and devoured all that was veiled; in an instant, he forced his way in.
Who, girl, your man?
No, friend, a monkey.

This style is an entire genre in Hindavi literature. It is a type of folk poetry called Kah Mukarni, and involves two playful female speakers seemingly speaking about their lovers and ending in a wordplay. They’re very earthy-sounding in their folk performances and are traditionally sung by women.
