Emporiblog - Altar Items - Cauldron

-
Hello all!! Today's Altar Items post is about Cauldrons!


When you think of Cauldrons, you think of Witches. Cauldrons have become synonymous with Witchcraft and a sort of symbol. Cauldrons are rounded pots that can be made from ceramics or various types of metal but, cast iron is considered ideal Cauldron material. A Cauldron can either stand upright on 3 or 4 legs or be hung over a fire (in this case, we are specifically looking at miniature ones). In Wicca, they can be used for representation of the Womb of the Goddess 



What are Cauldrons used for?

Cauldrons can be used for the following:

- Burning incense
- Burning herbs
- Burning ingredients in general 
- Spellwork 
- Holding the Element of Fire
- Holding the Element of Water
- Scrying (if filled with water)
- Holding candles 


All of these depends on the size of the Cauldron and what the Cauldron is made out of 



Do I have to use a Cauldron?

No. You do not have to use a Cauldron in your craft although, they can be useful for a variety of things as they come in various sizes and are made from various materials 



I think we'll leave this little post here! Tomorrow will be my last Flora Friday post so I'll try to make it a good one!


Blessings,

Hello all!! Don't be confused by the picture, all will be revealed!! This month's Full Moon in Taurus ♉ will be accompanied by a total Lunar Eclipse!! So, with the total lunar eclipse, and a meteor shower to boot, energies are quite fraught this month, and that counts as the energies within you too. This turbulent time is said to activate your inner rebel, that little voice within you that says 'what if we just...' Authority will grate on you, especially if it is misused and power is being abused, and this will prompt you to start flouting the rules. There is lots of incoherent stuff in your mind at the moment, the Moon calls you to surrender that, the eclipse calls you to do so fully and without abandon. Start marching to the sound of your own beat!  We need to shift this out of the way, so that we can align with our purpose. Sitting quietly tonight, letting everything go and embracing what is left will allow you to do this successfully.  You have probably

Hello all!! Since it's getting close to Easter and Beltane, I think it's fitting that we talk about Egg Cleansing!! What is an Egg Cleanse? An Egg Cleanse involves using an Egg to cleanse your body of negative energies. It can be used to see if someone has sent negative energy to you and can be turned into a Return To Sender (RTS) once you've read your Egg.

This practice has also been traced to the Philippines and Italy where it is known as benedicaria which means way of blessings  in English.  How to do/read an Egg Cleanse Here's a step by step on how to do and read an Egg Cleanse: You will need  a raw  room temperature Egg and a clear glass of room temperature water (preferably a decent sized glass).  The Cleansing : To do the Cleansing, simply rub the Egg all over your body and let the energy go in
