| *Cauldron Magick* |
 |
| ||||||
| Cauldron Magick In practically all Craft traditions, there is an item that is considered the the focal point. Its meaning encompasses the core of the tradition. The Focal point for the British Traditional WItch is the wheel, and one is normally placed in the center of the altar. In Alexandrian and Gardnerian Traditions. you will usually find a pentacle, which has been adopted by most eclectic groups as well. In some Traditions such as the Caledonii, few props are used. you will not find their altars brimming with too many goodies. Other traditions, usually those born of eclectic groups, rely heavily on astrological symbolism. A disk of the zodiac may be found in the center of teir altars. In the Black Forest Clan, our focal point is the cauldron, much like the need fire of the Caledoniis. Our unusual twist, of course, is that all of our eldrs practice Pow-Wow right along with our Craft techniques. For us, the cauldron encompasses the majority of our magick and is the foundation of our religious practices. Mentioned before that in Celtic mythos, Dagda hd the "cauldron of plenty" While Cerridwen had the cauldron of knowledge, intuition and wisdom. The Calliech, one of our primary Goddesses in the Black Forest, holds rule over the cauldron of change and transformation. The Morrigan carries the cauldron of passion and war, from whence she mixes and draws victory and all such matters of attainment. In a ritual, quarters are represented in the following manner: Dagda North Plenty, Prosperity, Stability Cerridwen East(some put her in the South) Knowledge, Intuition, Wisdom Morrigan South Passion, Creativity, Strategy Calliech West Transformation, Flow Ana Center First mother of all If you prefer more balance, then you can exchange Kernunnos or Herne for Cerridwen in the East in reference to the Gunderstrup Cauldron. The symbols at each quarter would have the cauldron as the primary base along with a secondary symbol, indicating the God or Goddess or element for which the cauldron stood. Dadga's cauldron can contain food or the fruits of harvest; Cerridewen's cauldron could contain feathers, ink pens, a holdy book, or incense. The Morrigans' cauldron normally contains fire and the Calliech's cauldron contains water and ice- ice representing the crystallization of change or the normal refusal of humans to change, representing the idea that most change takes place slowly and deliberately. If you live near the sea, then seawater in the Calliech's cauldron would also be appropriate. Information from "To Stir a Magick Cauldron" by Silver RavenWolf |
