Witches Cauldron
Spell-brewing vessel
A witches cauldron is the large pot traditionally depicted in folklore where witches brew potions, cast spells, or concoct mysterious substances.
The image comes from early modern witch-trial imagery—an iron vessel bubbling over flames.
Figuratively, a witches cauldron describes any turbulent situation where chaotic elements combine: The region became a witches cauldron of ethnic tensions.
Also spelled witch's cauldron or witches' cauldron.
