A little cast iron kettle wearing the triple moon: about 2 3/4 inches, lid included, the Goddess's emblem raised on its round belly. Too small to brew a pot and entirely the point, it is a decorative altar kettle, a holder for a votive, a bowl for salt or offerings, or simply the tiniest sweetest cauldron on the shelf.

Sturdy little vessel. Cast iron heft in a small package. Product Details Cast iron triple moon kettle with lid, approximately 2 3/4" A decorative miniature; not intended for brewing or stovetop use Keep dry and lightly oiled to prevent rust, as with all cast iron The Spiritual Significance The kettle and the cauldron are close cousins in the craft, both the vessel of the hearth, and a miniature kettle brings that hearth-emblem to the altar at charm scale. The triple moon on its belly sets it in the Goddess's register, maiden, mother, and crone over the little pot. It makes a fine home for a small offering, a pinch of salt, a votive candle, or a few curios that want a lidded keep, and its size suits the apartment altar and the traveling kit especially. The kettle does not act on its own; it holds what you place in it with intention, which is the whole quiet office of a ritual vessel. How To Use Set it on the altar as the hearth-emblem of the space. Hold a small offering of salt, herbs, or coins in its belly. Cradle a votive for a bit of contained candlelight. Keep it dry and lightly oiled so the cast iron stays rust-free. Pairs Well With Triple Moon Cast Iron Cauldron, 3.5": the bigger burning vessel of the same emblem. Triple Moon Brass Altar Bell: the emblem's voice for the altar. Black Salt, Fine: a fitting thing to keep in the kettle's belly. Frequently Asked Questions Can I actually brew in it? No: at about 2 3/4 inches it is a decorative altar kettle, not a working teapot. Use it for offerings, a votive, salt, or curios. Does it come with the lid? Yes, a fitted lid comes with the kettle. How do I keep it from rusting? Keep it dry and wipe a thin coat of oil on the iron now and then, the same care as any cast iron.
