Today’s card is always a good one – let us brew ourselves a healing potion. Learn how the cauldron was never a “witchy” implement; it was a tool for the home. In it brewed healing draughts, food for the family, and more. What do you need to bring together to help you heal and be sustained?
Blessings!
CAULDRON – Synergy and healing
Where all things come together
Under pressure, flowful synergy
A new thing is created
A crucible of infinity.
A typical depiction of a witch sees her standing over a boiling cauldron slowly stirring the bubbling and mysterious contents. As she stirs the enormous metal over the raw flames, she cackles and incants commands to all the elements, transforming the contents into something magical.
Cauldrons were commonly used in ancient and medieval times for everything from the nightly meal to the making of medicines. This “family crucible” was usually placed within the hearth of the home, making it an essential part of the gathering of family. Much healing and nourishment came from the cauldron.
Should you receive the Cauldron card, it indicates the importance of combining a variety of techniques or elements to get the best result. Do not pull all your eggs in one basket. Refuse to choose just a single rigid pathway when a variety of ways are there to be enjoyed and experienced. You can find your own ways to create something new. The cauldron is a deeply transformational tool – things change once they are put under pressure. Resilience is being cultivated over time and this means that you will be able to withstand any negative pressure much more healthily from the inside out.
