Miraculous Cauldrons Of The Ancient Celtic World
A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - The cauldron, or vessel, is a widely recognized symbol in Celtic tradition. It has existed since the earliest recorded times, as evidenced by archaeological findings, folktales, and myths of the Celtic world.
There are typically three kinds of these miraculous cauldrons or vessels: one represents abundance and food, another signifies healing and quickly restores the dead to life, and the third contains magical potions of wisdom and inspiration.
The most famous cauldrons of inspiration belonged to the witch Ceridwen. Her magical potion endowed Taliesin, often referred to as the grand Bard of the Britons, with all-knowing insight.
Ceridwen once prepared a magic brew in her cauldron. After a year of boiling, it was to be given three blessed drops. Whoever swallowed these drops would know all the secrets of the past, the present, and the future. It was all about those three drops because the rest of the brew was poisonous.
