Description

Origin & Traditional Use

A small cast iron cauldron with a pentagram, used for burning incense, resin, herbs and petitions. The cauldron is one of the oldest symbols of witchcraft: the vessel of transformation.

Uses in the Work

Burn loose incense on charcoal, burn petitions and sigils to send them, and hold herbs or ashes for spells. A small cauldron with a lid is ideal for burning a petition and then sealing the ashes inside overnight before disposing of them. Use it in fire and burning rites, and as a symbol of the womb and rebirth on the altar of Hecate or Lilith. Place it on a heatproof surface when hot.

Lore

The cauldron of the Welsh goddess Cerridwen brewed wisdom, and the three drops that fell on the boy Gwion made him the poet Taliesin. Shakespeare’s witches in Macbeth gather around a cauldron, and in Celtic myth the Dagda’s cauldron never ran empty.
