Summary/Abstract: In this article we will identify and develop some aspects regarding the magical objects, found in the fantastic folk fairy tale Petrea Voinicul and Ileana Cosânțana. The text is part of the volume Romanian Folk Stories and Poems, published in 1971, Bucharest. The volume includes both folk material from the props of the popular epic, prose and popular lyricism, collected by I. G. Sbiera, from the Bukovina area. In general, folk tales show us the journey of a hero, usually the positive character, on a mission, more or less complex. The supporting text, which we choose for a mythological and symbolic discussion, includes a series of elements that are the subject of our research.
