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

DEE-a MOY-ged MO-in

MOR-as kawk kayrd KOHD-kyun
