FYI :: The Romans associated the walnut with Juno, the Roman goddess of women and marriage and the wife of Jupiter. This association led to the unique wedding practice of throwing walnuts at the bride and groom as a symbol of fertility. Women often carried walnuts to promote fertility.

In the French countryside, it was tradition to hang a bag of walnuts from the ceiling beam in the kitchen to represent abundance and longevity. The Walnut tree is said to possess aphrodisiac powers and men were said to sneak a leaf into the shoe of a young woman they admired !!
