The Cauldron

Ancient tool of the sacred feminine
To transform bits to nurture and sustenance
Vessel of transmutation and alchemy
To change elements to magic and medicine

The cauldron is an ancient cooking tool that was designed to put over a fire.  It was used to slow cook nourishing and sustaining food for the family.  It was designed for cooking, serving, and transport.  It truly was a multi-purpose tool.  Not only was it a cooking tool for the family, it was also the tool for making medicines for the wise woman or hedge witch.  It has long been the too for both nurture and healing for the wise woman's community.

This ancient tool has long been associated with the sacred feminine and the Goddess.  It is the mother energy that represents the womb, creativity, and the energy of creation.  It represents the sacred mysteries and alchemy.  It is the tool that the wise woman uses to transmute the elements and herbs into the magic and medicine she needs to serve her community.

The cauldron is now a symbol of magic and healing of the sacred feminine.  It is the symbol of the wise , the sacred knowledge keeper, and wisdom.  It is the vessel that transmutes the elements and intention into healing magic.

Some see the cauldron as a metaphor for the human vessel and the person's ability to transmute energy into healing intention.  What will you use your cauldron for?
