Cauldron

A cauldron is a large round iron pot that use to be a very popular means of cooking over an open fire or on the household hearth. Today, it is mostly associated with witchcraft. Some Trads use them in ritual and in magical workings.

The cauldron is an ancient vessel and has a colorful, if mysterious, history. The Celts were skilled metal-smiths and were known for their iron cooking vessels. Their iron vessels became legond in the Roman Empire as the Celtic lands became an intregal part of the Roman world.

The cauldron should be made of iron. Many have three legs, a handle, and a lid. Some use a very small cauldron.
