What exactly is a Cauldron? -
A Cauldron is a large pot for cooking or boiling over an open fire, typically seen with an arc-shaped hanger and/or integral handles or feet. There is a rich history of Cauldron lore in religion, mythology, and folklore as they are traditionally associated with witches!
Cauldrons have largely fallen out of use in the traditional world however are still used for practical purposes! A more common association in Western culture is the cauldron's use in Witchcraft, a cliché popularised by various works of fiction like William Shakespeare's Macbeth. In fiction, witches often prepare their potions in a Cauldron and add all sorts of creepy crawly ingredients! So spooky!

To clean your Cauldron, wash it with warm soapy water and dry it thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products that can damage the surface of the Cauldron. For maintenance, you can oil the surface of cast iron Cauldrons to prevent rust, and use a copper cleaner on copper and brass Cauldrons to maintain their shine.
What can I use my Cauldron for? -
Cauldrons can be used for various purposes such as decoration, cooking, burning incense or herbs, or as a container for ritual items. They can also be used for outdoor activities such as camping or picnicking. Some people also use Cauldrons as a focal point for meditation or spellcasting.
