The cauldrons shape, the pot belly, represents the fullness of the Mother Goddess and the three legs
represent the three phases of the Goddess, of Woman, of the Moon and to three as a magical number. Often
the focal point of rituals, a cauldron may be used to cook in, for the creating of potions, ointments,
etc. Incense may be smoldered or spells written upon paper are burned and consumed within it to release
their energies. Like the Chalice the Cauldron is Female, West and Water and is to do with emotions. The
cauldron is also a symbol of transformation, enlightenment and wisdom.
