FIRE
Fire is the Element of change, will and passion. In a sense it contains within it all forms of magick, sinse magick is a process of change.
Fire magick can be frightening. The results manifest quickly and spectacularly. It is not an Element for the faint-hearted. However, it is most primal and for this reason is much used.
This is the realm of sexuality and passion. It is not only the "Sacred Fire" of sex, it is also the spark of divinity which shines within us and in all living things. It is at once the most physical and spiritual of the Elements.
Its magickal rituals usually involve energy, authority, sex, healing, destruction (of negative habits, disease), purification, evolution, and so on.
A ritual of Fire usually involves the fuming, burning or smouldering of an image, herb, or other flammable object, or the use of candles or small blazes.
Its magick is usually practiced near the hearth, or beside fires lit in wilderness clearings, or beside the flame of a single candle.
Fire is masculine. It rules the South, the place of greatest heat, the colour red, and the season of summer.
All candle magick comes under Fire's powers.
This is the element of power, strength, determination and courage. It is the father of all energy and passion. It is the Sun, the stars, the heat in the earth, it is the flame and it is the flame in your heart.
Whenever you need power and strength, when you need defence against evil and forces tearing you down, share with fire and your strength will return, you will gain defence against evil and nothing will be able to harm you. Fire is the defender of all that is good, it is strong, filled with passion and determination.
When one lives in union with fire, one will be strong, never fail in belief and do everything with full conciousness.
Fire is the element used in defence and strengtening.
Magic uses: Defense, Cleansing, Strengthening, Weakening, Creation of life.
