i, too, think that in a way, the cauldron is both.
it’s literal because it’s a symbol of transformation. items are actually placed into it for various reasons (mixing items for spells, cooking food, etc), which lead to a physical (e.g., chemical) transformation of the items.
however, it’s also symbolic, because to wiccans, it is the symbol for the magical womb of the Goddess.
You all are doing great! Like I said, these will get progressively tougher, but if you guess at least part of the symbol’s meaning, I’ll give you the credit earned.:smile:
The more you guess, the better your chances at winning the amulet. And don’t forget to enter my other contest for the fortune telling teacup! Nothing to guess, just sign up for my bi-monthly newsletter on yahoo.
Better put on those thinking caps, ladies and gents, ’cause tomorrow is a little tougher. But I think ya’ll are super smart and can guess it!
Both?
It’s a cauldron, which can represent plenty. And then there’s Cerridwen’s cauldron … it held inspiration, I think.

Well, transformation is the usual one I think…change, rebirth (the womb thing)…but also knowledge and inspiration…
