This Celtic-styled brass cauldron is a delightful little throwback to the tools of the ancients. Measuring only approximately 2 1/2" tall and 2 1/4" in diameter, it is beautifully detailed with Celtic patterns that leave it resembling the ancient tools of our Celtic ancestors or the fabled magical cauldron of Morrigan herself. Use it to burn your favorite incense, or otherwise be the perfect tool for your ritual magick.
. The cauldron or pot symbolizes cyclical time and the lunar calendar, it is the repository of inspiration and magick. In contemporary Witchcraft, the cauldron is an important magical tool that symbolically combines the influences of the ancient elements of air, fire, water, and earth. Its shape is representative of Mother Nature, and the three legs upon which it stands correspond to the three aspects of the Triple Goddess, the three lunar phases (waxing, full, and waning), and to three as a magical number. Additionally, the cauldron is a symbol of transformation (both physical and spiritual), enlightenment, wisdom, the womb of the Mother Goddess, and rebirth. Since early times, cauldrons have been used not only for boiling water and cooking food, but for heating up magical brews, poisons, and healing potions. They have also been utilized by alchemists and by Witches as tools of divination, containers for sacred fires and incense, and holy vessels for offerings to the gods of old.
