The Goddess and the Cauldron with Christopher Penczak In this day-long intensive, delve deep into the mysteries of the cauldron, the sacred brew of Awen, and the magick of the Ladies of the Lake.  Through a study of Celtic myth, particularly the story of Ceridwen and Taliesin, we will look at the spiritual significance of the cauldron of the Goddess.  She is the force of life, regeneration, and true wisdom.  She gives birth to the Child of Light that dwells in potential within us all.  Through ritual, we will align with the powers.  Through visionary pathworking, we will journey to the otherworld and directly experience the Mother and the Child.  Discover the image of the cauldron and the grail, as a five-fold vessel of abundance, transformation, rebirth, inspiration, and healing.  Learn about Ceridwen's origin as one of the first Ladies of the Lake and the evolution of the god-form into Morgan of Avalon.  Undergo the inner world initiation of the western island with the Great Mother.  Ally yourself with the sacred herbs of knowledge and wisdom of the brew of Awen.  Experience the transformation and challenge of the four elements and their animal totems.  Dwell in the three great darknesses of the hut, the womb, and the sea.  Become reborn as the Child of Light, flowing with the powers of inspiration, knowledge, poetry, and wisdom.  Through this work, forge the spiritual links to the past Cult of Taliesin and take up the mantle of bardic inspiration, fulfilling your True Will in the world, shining like a star upon the Earth.
