The goddess's womb is the crucible of rebirth -- the receptacle that contains all life and where all death occurs. Her womb is the very universe itself, and the totality of mystery and magic. The concept of divine feminine energy may alienate some. This is especially true for those who identify as male or don't see themselves reflected in a binary gender system. However, the aspect of the goddess expresses itself in all genders -- male and female -- and all gradients in between. We express our divine feminine with every poem or song we write. It is goddess energy that inspires our words and melody. When we nurture and show tenderness to others, that is the aspect of the goddess. Furthermore, it is the ability to create and give birth to new ideas, and our capacity to undergo transformation. No other goddess quite solidifies the connection between the womb of the divine feminine and the cauldron as Cerridwen. The enchantress of Welsh lore was known to possess a cauldron of poetic inspiration or awen. Awen is the font that provides the bard their melody, the poet their lyric, and the soothsayer their vision. These are all essential to true magic, as true magic is musical, poetic, and visionary. Hence, the cauldron provides these attributes to your magic, amplifying its potency. The cauldron as a tool has been employed since the Bronze Age by both witches and non-witches. It is only through pop culture and literature that it became a witchcraft cliche. However, there is no reason not to reclaim this highly symbolic tool in your magical practice if you so desire. You can use it to burn magical petitions or incenses or prepare your ingredients for spellwork. #cauldron #witchcraft #eluneblue
