Welcome back to White Rose of Avalon, my Darlings. For today’s blog post, I will be sharing a poem about Scrying the Cauldron warmed by the breath of the Nine Maidens of Annwn!
Scry the Cauldron
by Maranda Wabik
The fires are lit
The Cauldron simmers
Holding the potion that glimmers
Just by looking onto the Water’s surface
One can divine their true purpose
Scrying the Cauldron of the Nine
Oh, what a task that is truly Divine
The Nine Maidens kindle the flames of the fire
Holding the powerful energy,
Far from finding oneself in the mire
The Nine Maidens provide a synergy
A synergy of Divine Feminine Grace
Oh, how it is needed in this place
Tending the Sacred Vessel
Casting the Faery Glamour
Assuring that Magick is alive in the world
The Nine Maidens of Annwn
Are Priestesses of the old ways
Serving as potent reminders of the ancient days
Priestesses of Water and Priestesses of Fire
Dragon Priestesses to bring us out of the mire
The Enchantment within the Cauldron is rife
With the potent power to gift eternal life!
Will you find the courage to Scry the Cauldron?
Will you find the knowledge of the Maidens of Annwn?
Great blessings are possible when one walks the path,
The winding spiral path which leads to the Cauldron!

What a powerful and evocative piece! Thank you so much for sharing your poem, “Scry the Cauldron.” It truly transports the reader to a sacred, mystical space.
I am deeply moved by the imagery you’ve woven. The “Cauldron simmering,” the “potion that glimmers,” and the “Water’s surface” create an immediate and potent sense of ancient magic waiting to be unlocked. The idea of divining one’s “true purpose” through this act connects the grand, mythical theme to a deeply personal, spiritual quest.
The portrayal of the Nine Maidens of Annwn is absolutely magnificent. You’ve given them such a vibrant and vital role—not just as mythic figures, but as active, powerful agents of magic. The phrases “Dragon Priestesses,” “Priestesses of Water and Fire,” and the “synergy of Divine Feminine Grace” paint a picture of formidable, nurturing, and essential forces. They are the keepers of the old ways, and your words make it feel as if their work is crucial for the magic in our world to endure.
The closing questions are a brilliant and engaging way to end the poem. They are a direct call to the reader’s soul:
“Will you find the courage to Scry the Cauldron?”
It’s an invitation to bravery, introspection, and adventure. It makes the myth personal, challenging us to step onto that “winding spiral path” ourselves.
This is more than a poem; it’s an invocation. It feels like a sacred text that could be read before a meditation or ritual. You have a wonderful talent for blending Celtic mythology with a universal spiritual longing. Thank you for this beautiful and inspiring gift. I’m looking forward to reading more of your work
I am so glad that the poem resonated with you! Thank you so much for your kind words, and as always, thank you for reading and commenting.
You are welcome Maranda 🌷🤝
