Cauldron Substitutes?

Post by **[Haley]** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 9:01 am

my parents don't like that i'm a wiccan. and i don't have access to occult shops and i definatly can't get anything form an online shop. so how i'm i supposed to get a cauldron? is there an alternative to the traditional cast iron cauldron?

Hello

What are you going to be using your cauldron for?

Yep, depends on what you'll use it for. If it's just symbolic of the Goddess or water a chalice or cup would do nicely. If you'll be burning things in it, a small cone incense burner often does the trick.
Though, tools arent necessary. If your parrents disapprove, and tools are hard to get, you really only need yourself.

a microwave safe bowl can work as a good burning item as well, but I wouldn't suggest a 12 year old burning anything without a parents approval.......though saying that would make me a hypocrite *insert flashback here* ...anyway, its just not a bright idea.

Use a metal washing pail.

thanks for the advice. i probably won't burn anything cuz i already have a burner and my mom will let me use it when she is home. i am probably just going to use it for water, sybolism, etc.

A lot of people have old cast iron pots laying around too- those are always safe for burning things in. Explore the cupboards! :28:

Hmm, here's another thought I just had-- never tried this, but it'd probably work.... a tera cotta plant pot (-just watch out that it doesn't have any holes in the bottom or you'll set your carpet on fire...). Anyone tried this? I don't think it can catch fire.

believe it or not, my couldren for burning is a metal fondu (I dont know how to spell it) pot. I just took the hangle off. It's the perfect size and easy to hide lol.

if anybody in your house smokes nick an ashtray. What i did lol

Yep- those are some great ideas too! Pretty much anything that says "microwave safe" is probably okay to use for this purpose.

Never thought about it- I have a completely Wiccan-supply stocked kitchen. :28:

Thanks guys! I have another question, Meketheru said you only need yourself but I have yet to find out how to tap into whatever it is I'm supposed to tap into and not use tools, how is that done?

I only read, haven't actually tried anything, although I do have a wish box.
Which reminds me, I have yet to decorate it.
