Where do you go from here? What happens now?
The cauldron has brewed its magic, and the searing heat of Awen has scalded your thumb and caused your spirit to burn brighter. The journey into mystery continues—it does not end with the spilling of the cauldron’s content. The end of this tale is merely the beginning of your adventure into the heart of the Celtic mysteries.
Consider the components of the tale—Morfran Afagddu, Creirfyw, Morda, Tegid Foel; what of them? Have they simply vanished into some Celtic otherworld of redundant archetypes? On the contrary, they continue to exist in you; you carry their qualities with you. Having acknowledged them as facets of your own spirit, humanity, and personality and offered them to the cauldron, they remain aspects of you that continue into your future; they are an essential aspect of your unique song. They have not been vanquished, they are not individual beings who lived in a distant era, and they rise anew from the spirit of every initiate that treads the damp grass to the cauldron’s rim.
Having faced the cauldron and your own magical transformation, you also face the responsibility of using that experience for the benefit of yourself and others. You are in prime position to tease the qualities essential for the brew—as seen in the archetypes—from the spirits of those who are called to the cauldron. One responds by disseminating the wisdom of the Celts to those of good intention, and by doing so you strive to maintain a mystery tradition that has been thousands of years in the making.
Do not lose your connection to the cauldron and its guardian; continue to serve the witch goddess in your endeavours, in your Craft and magical practise. You are transformed and inspired by the rays of Awen that shine from the darkness of potentiality; powerful spirits and gods walk with you, allies in your quest of mystery and magic. Other secrets await you; seek them out, find them in hidden pages of wisdom, and listen to them in the whispers of trees.
The burning fire of the Celtic spirit gleams within you, its light radiant and awe inspiring, for you are from the cauldron born.
