«I want to talk about the most mysterious and profound, transforming legend of Celtic Wales. It tells of an innocent boy, turned into an all-seeing prophet by the magic of a witch, and the secrets that accompanied this transformation. Scholars have said much about this legend, but my book differs from academic works. It — a bridge between the worlds of science and mysticism, combining scientific and spiritual knowledge».

The book is divided into three parts. In the first, you will find a general description of the legend of the cauldron of the goddess-witch Cerridwen: how it originated, how it developed, how it has reached us, and what role it plays in our modern life. The second part presents three versions of the legend: two traditional ones from surviving manuscripts and one written by the author. In the third part, you will find an analysis of the characters, archetypes, and other components of the legend: what they can embody, how they relate to secret knowledge, and how we interact with them. In conclusion, a yearly ritual will be presented for you to contemplate all these metaphors, dedicating a year and a day to the transformational practice. There, all accompanying rituals are also detailed.
