The Cauldron Of Inspiration

In ancient Celtic times there is a story about The Cauldron Of Inspiration. You must add the correct ingredients and cook them for a year. I'm still searching for the recipe and  ingredients.  It is said, this story eventually evolved into the story of the Holy Grail. 

You can read  the story of Cerridwen, the Celtic goddess of inspiration, and how she cooked up the brew. see Cauldron Mead of Inspiration

Before making my own Cauldron Of Inspiration, I asked others, "What is your metaphor for Inspiration?"  We placed some the the metaphors on the side of the Cauldron.  

Inspiration is like;
 ---> arrows inside of you --> one idea --->  leads to another  --->
