“I am Cerridwen, keeper of the Cauldron, Goddess of Renewal, Lady of Transformation, Mother of Inspiration. My Cauldron is the Womb of Life Itself. It is the Cauldron of Wisdom, Inspiration, Rebirth, and Transformation. Its brew is an undeniably powerful source of primal wisdom. Drink, embrace death in its many forms, and learn the secrets of immortality.” Pronounced ‘Ke-ri-dwen’, and also spelled Ceridwen or either way but with a ‘K’ instead of a ‘C’, she is known under many guises; She is a Triple Goddess, the Great Mother, the Old one, the Wise Crone, the White Lady of Inspiration and Death, the Goddess of dark, prophetic powers.

It is said the Cerridwen had two children with her husband, Tegid Foel; there was her daughter, Crearwy, who was light and beautiful, and then her son Afagddu who was reputedly the ugliest man in the world, (it could be seen that these two children represent the
The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram is a ritual which originated within Ceremonial magick from at least the nineteenth century, but is used by many, including wiccans.

Visualize a white light, hovering just above your head - this light will attach you to the divine, the spirit, the all. Traditionally it is performed with an athame (I personally prefer using my athame for this), but you can
For a long while I have been feeling pulled towards a Deity, but the 'signals' haven't been very clear. Nothing concrete. I could tell it was a feminine presence, so I assumed to be a Goddess, associated with both Earth and Fire, as well as blessings, the hearth and divination. I have done countless searches, looking for Goddesses of Earth and Fire and of the hearth, but have for a couple of months now come up empty handed.
