July 3rd
Festival of Cerridwen
In the rural villages of Wales, the festival of Cerridwen celebrates the fertility of the land and is a reward for the labors of Summer. As a Goddess of grain, the moon and abundance, Cerridwen represents ingenuity and fortuity. Her major contribution to Celtic mythology rests with her cauldron, around which numerous legends were developed. The cauldron, called Amen, contained a sacred beverage that bestowed creativity and knowledge on all who partook of its contents. Symbolic of the womb, the cauldron still holds a special place with the Wiccan and Witchcraft religions as it repreents the Mysteries—the inner teachings of creation, transformation, and regneration.
Magickal Activity for July 3rd, The Festival of Cerridwen
Cauldron Magick
This spell is designed to make a wish come true by reinforcing the desire on a daily basis. Affix a white tape candle to the bottom of a cauldron. Light the candle as you say:
Within this cauldron burns the fire,
That will now manifest my desire.
Concentrate on the flame of the candle, and visualize what it is you desire. Allow the candle to burn for one hour, and then extinguish it. Each day, at the same time, light the candle and repeat the chant as you focus on your desire. Allow the candle to burn for one hour. Repeat until your wish comes true.
