«I want to talk about the most mysterious and profound, transformative legend of Celtic Wales. It tells of an innocent boy, turned by the witch's magic into an all-seeing prophet, and the mysteries that accompanied this transformation. Much has been said about this legend by scholars, but my book differs from academic works. It is a bridge between the worlds of science and mysticism, combining scientific and spiritual knowledge». Kristoffer Hughes

The book is divided into three parts. In the first, you will find a general description of the legend of the cauldron of the witch-goddess Cerridwen: how it originated, how it developed, how it reached us, and what role it plays in our modern lives. The second part presents three versions of the legend: two traditional ones from manuscripts that have survived to us and one written by the author of the book. In the third part, you will find an analysis of the characters, archetypes, and other components of the legend: what they may symbolize, how they are connected to secret knowledge, and how we interact with them. In conclusion, a year-long ritual will be presented for your attention so that you can contemplate all these metaphors, dedicating a year and one day to the transformational practice. All accompanying rituals are also described in detail there.
