Cauldron Of Cerridwen

Cerridwen was the Celtic Goddess of Witchcraft and the Underworld. She embodies all three lunar aspects of the Goddess, Maiden, Mother and Crone. She is primarily worshipped in her Crone aspect, by and through her Cauldron of Wisdom. The cauldron has an intimate association with femininity, together with the cave, the cup and the chalice, and the association of femininity with justice, wisdom and intelligence goes back to very ancient times.The cauldron was an important artifact in Celtic daily life, where it served as the hub of the home. It was used for most household cooking, as well as for bathing and carrying water, and was the finest object owned by most households.
