The Story: Nine priestesses attend the Cauldron of Annwn, source of inspiration and mantic talent.
Many people have attributed the powers of prophecy, inspiration, and art to the three motifs depicted in the painting – the omnipotent spring, the cauldron, ad the head. The bards of Arthur’s time believed the Cauldron of Annwyn was the source of their inspiration and unearthly talents.
The early Welsh poem The Spoils of Annwfn tells of Arthur’s daring raid on the Otherworld in search of its cauldron. Three ships ventured to the Twilight Land, passing many uncharted isles where the Forever Young mixed their sparkling wines. On reaching the cauldron, the raiders found the forces of the Fay awaiting them. A battle more dreadful than words ensured. Though Arthur succeeded in stealing the Cauldron, the terror and tragedy of the venture lead the King to forbid the severn should survivors to speak of it again.
