Casting Instructions for ‘Elements Meaning: Fire’

Fire
Fire is both creative and destructive, its qualities are Brightness, Thinness and Motion and its mode is Active. It is fire that we and our ancestors used to heat our houses, we use it to cook our food, we sit around it to ward off of the darkness of night, and it fuels our passions. Fire, unlike the other components, does not exist in a pure state. Its physical form can only take place by swallowing another element. Fire is the transformer, converting the energy of other objects into other forms: heat, light, ash, and smoke.

To feel the manifestations of this power, go out on sunny day and feel the warmth and light of the Sun, hear the crackling of logs and smell of smoke from a burning fire. As you gaze into the transformational flame of a candle, immerse yourself in the energy of Fire. Fire is the natural element of animals and mankind, and they have, in their natures, a most fiery force, and also spring from celestial sources.

So as to get benefit from the energy of the element, we will need to control Fires destructive aspect. When we light a candle, we are not merely calling on the energy of Fire, we’re also limiting its power. This destructive aspect shouldn’t be seen as negative, forest fires, actually help, clearing away underbrush and encouraging seeds lying dormant within the Earth to burst forth into new life.

Fire is a masculine element, its aspects being change, enthusiasm, creativity, motivation, will power, drive and sensuality. It’s sexuality, both physical and spiritual. Fire is used in spells, rituals and candle magic for healing, purification, gender, breaking bad habits or destroying illness and disease. Fire is the element of authority and leadership.

The properties of Fire, Heat, Making things fruitful, Celestial light, Giving Life to everything. Its opposite the Infernal Fire are a parching heat, consuming all things and darkness, making all things bare.
