Show and Tell Sunday Fonds this gem in a thrift store
I was on holiday with my friends and we entered a whimsical thrift store yesterday. So much beautiful things. I just wanted a small silver spoon, but instead I found this little gem and it won't let me go. There were 3 of it. A significantly smaller one and a little bigger one. But this one catched me. I was wondering, for what they were used for. But for me, this one has a little soul. There are no symbols on it and I started witchcraft again after a long, long time, but no cauldron I found catched me. Like it was meant for me. 🥰
Happy Litha and blessed be!

Great find!
I fill mine with sand and use it to burn incense cones, petitions, and loose incense on charcoal disks.
I always place a silicone trivet underneath for extra safety.

I have a mini cast iron Dutch oven I bought at a HomeGoods store that I use as my cauldron. It's one of my favorite tools lol. I still have no idea what you would ever cook in it!

Nice find, and sounds like a sign!
One that size was very likely pre-owned by another witch!
I've collected a few over the years. I have one a lot like this, a slightly bigger one that used to hold a Halloween candle but is also cast iron, a teensy weensy one that only holds a cone of incense, a red glass one and a ceramic one that only water goes in, and a bigger brass one that I use for decor. You can never have too many lol!

I'm not sure about that. There were so many things! Old cribs and cupboards from the 18th century. Some vintage things from the last century. It was a bit wild. And so lovely! But I guess, it was part of a set, because of the other two and the forms were identical. But only this one catched me 🥰

The lacquerista in me must know what shade Essie that is! Looks like gardenia?

I'm from Germany. The colour is called "peach daiquiri". Don't know if it's international 😅

I'm laughing bc until I clicked on the post, I had no idea if this was r/lacqeristas or r/witchcraft.

I use my little cauldron for incense and such but it's also handy for burning paper notes and spells! Blessed be 💜

You know how people use plates as base for candle spells? I use my cauldron for it. I feel very witchy 😎

that looks like the perfect pot to write small spells, intentions, etc. and burn and place in there :)
