Fire from the Cauldron - Intimate Encounters with the Old Ones (Paperback)

Fire from the Cauldron is a bold step for Craft teachings. It takes traditional Craft teachings and blends them with stories of the Goddess Aradia and the God Cernunnos. The result is a series of Pathworkings (deep guided-meditation) that are designed to teach Craft wisdom to the "inner" or deeply intuitive part of the student. The goal is to create a profound link or bond with the student and the Gods. This link will help the student to take their own personal Craft to a new level because they will be able to draw from the essence of Craft, itself. This book is a call for the leaders and teachers of Craft. It is time for our faith to stand beside the other faith traditions of the world. It is time to stop seeing our tradition as one who stands in the back of the room, while the others are having a grand banquette. We need to stand at the table with the other traditions. In order for us to do this, we need teaching aids that allow us to deepen our Craft. This is one such aid. The pathworkings allow the pathwalker to stand with Cernunnos as he grows from the wild-child of the forest into an unlikely King and again when he gives up his life to become the Lord of Death and Resurrection. They also show the pathwalker the birth of the Star Goddess, join her as she teaches humanity the ways of Craft and see her loss as she sacrifices her Beloved so that the people might live.
