Hiya A'll,

Well, I'm stuck. In the past week I have visited well over 250 pagan sites on the web, and apart from having a headache, I can't find any cauldron stockists in the UK. It is flaming well doing my head in!! I don't want a big one-it has to be a wee cauldron, owing to space etc.
The nicest ones that I have seen have been ceramic ones-huge problem though, they're on Triplemoons website in the states, and I reckon shipping would be a ruddy nightmare.

Help me out guys-where can I get a nice cauldron, at a reasonable price, in the uk??

ookster:)

have you trie your local garden centre?
some ignorant once borns have taken to using them as planters!!!!! ;)
otherwise check out jusk shops and flea markets, always a good bet.

Garden centres are great for stuff like that, I've got a black clay bowl which I use as a cauldron, I bought it in Oxfam!

ooh ooh ooh...did I hear someone say cauldron?!

Yep..thought so!....Ookster & me are on the great cauldron hunt!!

There are some lovely ones on triplemoon....but they only take Mastercard & Visa (which I don't have..I've only got the humble Switch card!)....

I want a cast iron one anyway...I know...I'm fussy!!

As for the junk shops....I've never found one near me...maybe I'm just not looking well enough!

Does this mean I've got to go around garden centres with my mum?!..ohhhhhh ..
Maybe I could just ask her to look for one for me..hmm...then again, maybe not!...I don't think she'd take too kindly to being asked to look for a cauldron! (I wonder if she could find me a broomwhile she's there!)

Anyway...I need a cauldron...desperately...NOWWWWW!!hehehe

Love & light...

Dionne (the mad woman)

Hi
I might have a solution or two. I found these two adverts in the back of 'Pagan Dawn' magazine Lammas issuse 2000

" Cauldrons - traditional heavy black cast iron 2.5 gallon capacity - 11 kilos weight - 10" tall x 11 1/2" - £57.50 including delivery credit cards / cheques or enquires to :- John Ruse, 68 Harvest Road, Canvey Island, Essex, SS8 9RP, tel: 01702 480115 "

" White Witch - Pagan mail order - www.whitewitch.co.uk " they claim in their advert to carry cauldrons but there is no sign of them in their online store it might be worth giving them a call tel: 01306 711660 their online store entry page is http://www.darkforce.com/fantasy/gothic.htm
I hope this helps
Bright Blessings

Hi Ookster

There are two blacksmiths in my area I will see if they have foundry facilities, if they have then I will post their contact details here

http://www.whisperedprayers.com/Cart/WP27_Cauldrons.html has cauldrons, they are american but they don't look too expensive... so perhaps they are worth checking out...

Cauldrons - just bought one. Have not read all messages - but in case this is useful - I went to an Antiques centre here in the West Country. I had CHOICE. Down here we still use open fire cookpots - honest...... My choice was one with snake handles - size 18" diam maybe same deep - £23. There were also cast iron which I use also - similar size. I place them on a tripod trivet - made from horseshoes - when I do indoor fire ritual. health and safety. More details about location of these? [email protected] Blessed be your hunt friends - Maia
