Witchy Cats Around Cauldron Tealight Holder

Three black cats stand peering over the rim of a cauldron, and the cauldron itself holds a tealight, so a small flame glows up between them. It is a playful, properly witchy little piece, at home on a Halloween altar or a year-round one.

Each cat wears a different colored hat, and because the hats are painted by hand the colors vary from piece to piece, so yours will be one of a kind.

Cats and the Cauldron

The black cat is the witch's classic companion, a symbol of magic, mystery, and, in much folk tradition, good luck and protection of the home. The cauldron is the witch's vessel of transformation, of brewing and blending, and an old emblem of the Goddess and of rebirth. Together they make this little holder a cheerful nod to the craft itself.

How To Use

1. Set the holder on a flat, heat-safe surface, away from anything flammable.
2. Cleanse it in incense smoke or moonlight before first use, if that is part of your practice.
3. Place a standard tealight in the cauldron and light it.
4. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from curious hands and paws.
5. Let the holder cool, then lift away the spent tealight and wipe it clean.
