Cauldron

A cauldron or caldron (from Latin caldarium, hot bath) is a large metal-made pot (kettle) for cooking and/or boiling over an open fire, usually attached to a hanger with the shape of an arc.

In legend, a cauldron is purported to be where leprechauns keep their treasure.

In Wicca a cauldron is often placed at the centre of a sacred circle, and used to contain items that will be set alight during a ritual.

Traditionally, or in myth, a cauldron was also used by witches to prepare their potions, most notably the weird sisters in the play Macbeth.

As a cooking vessel it is now rarely used. The myth of the Holy Grail probably refers to a cauldron or similar vessel.
