Heavy-Duty 3-legs Cast-Iron Cauldrons W/Lids & Handle
Cauldron is a symbol of the creative forces of transformation. The round shape and receptive properties of cauldrons make it sacred to the Goddess, and it is very logically associated with the element of Water. However, given that the heat of a fire is necessary for much of the transformative work of a cauldron, some view it as sharing association with both Water and Fire.
Iron is a symbol of strength, protection, and life-giving warmth, as it is seen as a combination of the elements of Earth and Fire. Until the introduction of steel, iron was the most durable metal known to man, and this was reflected in mythology and folklore as well. The legendary strength and durability of iron makes it a natural component in spells of protection. Many a witch obtains items of iron, such as antique keys, padlocks, or spikes, and places them by the door of his or her home in order to keep out poltergeists and other unwanted spiritual visitors such as the Fae.

Weight: about 3 lbs
Great for burning charcoal incense, cones, smudging, brewing your favorite potions, offering bowls, altar decor, and more! ( unless using a tripod and direct heat (fire pit) this doesn’t work as a simmer pot, cast iron is too thick for tea light heat.
*Scrying
If you’ve never tried scrying (the art of seeing visions in black mirrors) and you want to give it a go before investing in a real scrying mirror, fill your cast iron cauldron with water and put a few drops of black ink in it. Instant, perfectly smooth scrying surface!
*Banishing Rituals
The dark void of the cauldron imitates a black hole. Throw something into it and watch it disappear into the cosmic abyss.
*Fire Festivals.
For solitary rituals, building a huge bonfire isn’t always practical. Please be mindful of fire safety as you would any other ritual involving fire and NEVER let children or minors do it themselves!! Build a mini fire in your cauldron exactly as you build it in a fire pit, with dry leaves and grasses to ignite it, and thick, broken twigs on top. Throw in some herbs appropriate to the festival and watch it roar.
*Collect/Charge Moon Water
Every once in a while, a tool proves both practical and symbolic. The cauldron checks both boxes for making moon water. Take advantage of this perfect vessel and brew up a batch for the coming full moon.
*Burning Oils
A squat, tri-legged cauldron doubles nicely as an oil burner. Pop a tea candle underneath, then experiment with different blends and come up with one that works for your ritual purpose.
Collect Rainwater
Leave your cauldron outside to gather rainwater for use in spells and purification. For added magick, toss in a couple of appropriate gemstones. Then refrigerate until it’s ready for use.
*Fertility Spells
In modern witchcraft, the cauldron represents the womb. This makes it perfect for fertility spells, abundance magic, and spells to draw forth hidden potential.
*Wish or Release Spell work
Write your wishes, things you want to let go of or hopes for the future on a piece of natural parchment. Light it, toss it in the cauldron with some wishing herbs, and watch the smoke rise to the heavens. Bury the ashes and let fate have its way.
****IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE YOUR CAULDRON FOR ACTIVITIES INVOLVING WATER****
