The cauldron has long been one of the most recognizable symbols of witchcraft, but its magick goes far deeper than aesthetic or tradition. I think I have about 10 cauldrons all different sizes LOL.
I may have a problem…and need them all. HA!
At its core, the cauldron is a vessel of transformation. It represents the womb, the void, the place where things are broken down and reborn.
Nothing enters a cauldron to stay the same. In myth and magick alike, it is where opposites meet—life and death, intention and surrender, fire and water.
Metaphysically, cauldrons are often associated with emotional depth, intuition, and alchemy.
They hold what is difficult, unformed, or unfinished.
They ask us to sit with process rather than rush toward outcome.
This is why cauldrons show up so often in shadow work, ancestral practices, and rituals of release or becoming.
But cauldrons aren’t only about “big” magick.
For many practitioners, they become everyday companions—holding incense ash, moon water, written intentions, herbs, or even quiet moments of reflection.
Over time, a cauldron absorbs the energy of the work done within it, becoming a relationship rather than an object.
Perhaps that’s why cauldrons feel so powerful: they remind us that magick is not transactional. It’s relational. It unfolds in layers, over time, through attention and presence.
So I’m curious—How do you work with cauldrons, if at all?
Do you see them as symbolic, practical, devotional, or something else entirely?
Let’s talk. 
I personally love them. When I hold one I feel so much energy running through them. It almost seems like it “hums” in my hands. I found a really huge one at a flea market last summer. It definately hums. l often wonder how many stories it holds…
