In the Origin of the Iron we are once again returned to the Beginning of all, to the primaeval fountain in the center of the Cosmos.

There the molten iron was originated in the breasts of three maidens, the Maidens of Iron.

They stood on a Nameless Meadow, on a Borderless Field, that is in the Dream Time without names, places, events. The maidens yielded milk which transformed into molten iron and steel.

This same theme of maidens (or a goddess or a cow or a she-goat) at the fountain in the center of the primitive world (Paradise) is repeated in the myths all over the world, also in the Genesis.

From the Fountain of Life there originated four rivers of water or milk which often were depicted as four maidens. These rivers carried life, and also the iron, all over the world.

When dealing with a wound made by an iron blade by his incantations the sorcerer makes it known to the victim and also to the weapon that he is aware of the origin of the iron and so is able to control it.
