Cauldron

The cauldron is an ancient vessel of cooking, full of magical tradition and mystery. It is often the focal point of rituals.. The cauldron may be used for scrying (gazing) by filling it with water. They come in many sizes. This is usually the hardest tool to find, but is sold at many home decorating stores. The cauldron is a symbol of the Goddess, the essence of femininity and fertility. It is a symbol of the Element of Water, reincarnation, immortality and inspiration. Numerous legends surround the lore of the cauldron. In Celtic mythology, the Dagda is said to have possessed the Undry cauldron which issued out food according to a man's merit, and Bran the Blessed was given the Cauldron of Rebirth which had the ability to resurrect slain warriors. The Celtic god Cernunnos was reborn after having been torn apart and boiled in a cauldron. The cauldron is a black, cast-iron pot which is used for brewing potions, burning incense or parchment papers, etc. Some Witches fill their cauldrons with water on Samhain night and use them to gaze into the future or past.
