“My chair is in Caer Sidi
where no one is afflicted with age or illness.
Manawydden and Pryderi have known it well.
It is surrounded by three circles of fire.”

Taliesin in the defense of the Chair as translated by Caitlin Matthews

We can create our own sacred spaces in a variety of ways. We can use chanting and musical intonation as we previously discussed, or we can construct spells and carve them upon Ogham wands or fedha. We can use symbols for each of the Four Hallows and place them in the appropriate Quarter. We could also use forms of personal meditations such as the Tree Meditation given within the Keltria Book of Ritual, or we could focus on the dúile themselves, that are found at the centers of each of the Three Cauldrons. I call this technique the Cauldron Meditation. It shares many common elements with chanting and drumming methods of achieving altered states, as well as with the Tree Meditation. Before we discuss these meditations and methods, let me say a few words about setting the stage, gathering the attention and focusing the will.
