The Earth's Cauldron, the melting pot of the world. A center for us all. A place where you can find many different cultures existing
side by side in relative harmony. We like to explore all areas of ancient culture, and bring to our shop, the most practical (and
still available) items that were used and cherished by people in ancient times.
The Earth's Cauldron story:
When I was a child, my favorite book was Richard Burton's Arabian Nights. I took this
book with me everywhere I went! Although I admit I did not understand much of it, words like Sandalwood and Aloes Wood and places
like Damascus intrigued me. I knew then I had a liking for the exotic, the ancient, and the cultural influences of our human
society.
My days were filled with learning about the differences in our world, and in the process I began to see the oneness. My ability to
view all cultures with equality had begun to take root.
In about 1985 I was in the magazine isle of a store when I
saw the latest issue of National Geographic Magazine. This magazine literally changed my life. The eyes of a woman stared
out from the cover, we knew her at the time only as "The Afghan Girl" a picture for the article "
Along Afghanistan's War-torn Frontier"

Something changed in me that day, I never looked
at the world around me the same again. The Earth's Cauldron had been born.
A few years later, I purchased a book on how to make
natural soap, a$4.95 book on Aromatherapy and a small bottle of Patchouli oil, after that I was hooked! I started making natural
soaps, then candles, then anything else I could find a recipe for.
It didn't take long to manifest the dream of The Earth's Cauldron.
I started out at fairs and flea markets, and in
1998 I opened my first real shop and started importing handmade goods from all over the world, and have never looked back. This
has not only been a passion, but my life's work.
Today along with my beloved soaps and essential oils, I also make other body
care products, natural wax candles and custom made Mojo bags & oil blends. I import incense, statues, teas, herbs, oils,
henna and many more hard to find exotic items and spiritual supplies.
All of our imported products are authentic, and not cheap
imitations. IE: If it's Indian, it came from India; If it's Egyptian, it came from Egypt.
In these last few years,
with my love of ancient cultures, also came a love for Mehndi ~ henna body art. I am a natural henna artist, certified through
the ICNHA.
The Earth's Cauldron brings together all that we love about the world, past and present.
