A Circle of Stones: Journeys and Meditations for Modern Celts - Erynn Rowan Laurie 1995
Coire Ansic
Here is the Cauldron of Daghda that can never be emptied, from which none goes away unsatisfied. Coire Ansic contains the ocean, and the streams running into and out of it from their source at the Well of Wisdom are the senses with which we perceive the world and the life around us. This Otherworld gift contains all knowledge and all healing, inexhaustible gifts for the seeker.
Ara-caun Coire Sofhis
sernar dliged cach dáno
dia moiget moin
móras cach ceird coitchiunn
con-utaing duine dán
(Irish source: Breatnach, Liam, "The Cauldron of Poesy", Eriu #32, pp 45-93, 1981.)
I acclaim the Cauldron of Knowledge
where the law of every art is set out
which makes prosperity
which magnifies every artist
which exalts a person by means of art
AHR-a-KAUN KWEHR-a SO-ish
SHER-nar DLEE-yeth kawk DAH-no
DEE-a MOY-ged MO-in
MOR-as kawk kayrd KOHD-kyun
