Merry Meet,
So do you have a cauldron? If you do - what's it made of (brass, iron, etc?)?? How large is it? How much did it cost? (where did you get it?)
And if you don't have a cauldron, what do you use in substitute? Or do you just not feel the need for one? Are you planning to buy one (if so - whats your budget, what are you looking for, etc? Explain!)
I'm seriously looking in to buying a 'real' cauldron for myself  Up till now, I've always just been using a heat proof container instead of buying a cauldron. (they are very expensive!)
Blessings![/size]

Oh wow KA thats A LOT of cauldrons! lol i hope u get the opportunity to use them all!!! I always find that alotta stuff i buy, i never use
brass cauldrons are WAY cheaper and i dont think i could afford an iron one right now. But are brass cauldrons really heat proof? Like can you actually burn stuff in them? lol ahah sry if that sounds so stupid, guess i dont pay much attn in chemistry. (i dislike science and all subjects in school lol!)
d**n i should check out those yard sales!!! im always hearing how people jsut happen to find thse amazingly cheap tools and items that are perfect. i should relaly check them out now or else i gotta wait another year (next summer, no yard sales in winter for Canadians! lol hm wonder why! duh - snow!)

ooh okay, thats fine.
So even if i get a brass one - as long as i put sand on the buttom and burn say......um charcoal blocks with loose dried herbs (incense), nothing would burn thru or cause any problems right

ok..don't laugh at me:P I don't have a "real" cauldron...but I did find a nice golden colored pot for less than a dollar at that Christian thrift shop:P it has a cute little lid and its small enough to fit on my altar...however I have never used it due to the fact that I think you have to make it heated...or burn fire and stuff in them...and err..I dunno how flamable or if it could even stand flames:o so..I might just decided to clean it, and put it on my altar with flowers in it later in the spring...lol would that work?  |

Silver - lol of course taht would work!!! And what do you mean by its not a 'real cauldron'? As long as its a nice heatproof container that can stand some burnign of some kind inside, its a cauldron to me! It doesnt ahve to be fancy and have all sorts of wiccan symbols on it! Well about the cauldron you got at the christian thrift store! Wow that IS sooo cheap!!! No way, for less than a dollar! WOW!!! I think the cheapest cauldron you could ever get would be like $10! WOW! lol Well if you dont plan on burning anything in it, i suppose it will do fine as your cauldron. And yeah, put flwoers in it, etc and of course it'll work!  Not a problem!

yeah put sand in the bottom and only burn stuff on the sand and any cauldron should be fine, but of course dont leave it unattended |
