It is also a symbol of the Water element, reincarnation, immortality, and inspiration. The Celtic legends referring to the Cerridwen cauldron have had a strong impact on contemporary Wicca<\/em>\u201d \u2013 Scott Cunningham, \u201cA guide for the solitary practitioner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">At this point, it is necessary to clarify that <em><u>not all branches of witchcraft use the cauldron<\/u><\/em>, even if we look at the book \u201cWicca, practices and principles of witchcraft\u201d by Raymond Buckland, the author does not even mention it among the main tools. But even if we want to think about the practical possibilities of a cauldron, we can focus on its usefulness for the preparation of food, drink, concoctions, and for the preparation of balms, ointments and medicines, according to what Doreen Valiente say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to the topic, everything that we want to transform ends up in the cauldron. Even if you are not Wiccan, working with the cauldron is a before and after. Nothing can replace a potion or concoction prepared in your cauldron, as well as everything that we have burned within it we feel that it has been released from our lives or that it has transformed them for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the cauldron that we usually use is three-legged, thus symbolizing the three aspects of the female deities: Maiden, Mother and Crone (Witch).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Fortunately for us, the production of iron cauldrons throughout history makes it accessible today. Iron is a heavy metal, which the core of our planet is made of and which is responsible for producing the magnetic field. Yes, iron has magnetic properties.<br><br>Thus our iron cauldron, which symbolizes creation and the universe, connects with the center of our planet, and interacts (<em>if we are lucky<\/em> ) magnetically during all our rituals. The energy within our iron cauldron is incomparable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/samhainlights.com.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/photo_2021-03-09_07-16-18.jpg?resize=278%2C278&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72\" width=\"278\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/samhainlights.com.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/photo_2021-03-09_07-16-18.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/samhainlights.com.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/photo_2021-03-09_07-16-18.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/samhainlights.com.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/photo_2021-03-09_07-16-18.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/samhainlights.com.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/photo_2021-03-09_07-16-18.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/samhainlights.com.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/photo_2021-03-09_07-16-18.jpg?resize=324%2C324&amp;ssl=1 324w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/samhainlights.com.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/photo_2021-03-09_07-16-18.jpg?resize=416%2C416&amp;ssl=1 416w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/samhainlights.com.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/photo_2021-03-09_07-16-18.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/samhainlights.com.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/photo_2021-03-09_07-16-18.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 278px) 100vw, 278px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The decoration of the cauldron depends on each witch or witch; runes, symbols of the goddesses we work with, etc. can be placed on it. Personally I do not recommend it because as in most cases we will be using fire in the middle, any addition can be affected and end up damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the cases where I do recommend it is in seasonal celebrations where we do not use it over the fire. At the tine, we can put all kinds of decorations and fill it with water and seasonal flowers, or a candle in its center symbolizing fire when we are in the samonio festivities (dark part of the year).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An important recommendation if we are going to use our cauldron for the preparation of food or concoctions, is to cure it.
