So, back here we discussed the cleansing powers of fire, but, of course, there’s more to fire than just cleansing.
Fire is a very active energy and is very dynamic. When you feel motivated, passionate, and driven you are experiencing the energy of fire. Fire also has a lot of qualities around vision, enlightenment, and ideas because it is our source of light. Light a candle in the dark and see just how much light that small flame can give off. Just a little spark can go a long way.
So when you’re doing your rituals and magick, if you want there to be action, innovation, and forward movement – if you want to ‘light a fire’ under something, light a candle or maybe even a small contained fire in a bowl or a bonfire.
A wonderful ritual, especially during summer holidays, which is the time of the sun (a great source for fire) is to light on a bonfire and pass around notecards or small pieces of paper. Have everyone write things they want to accomplish – and it’s important that they’re willing to work on these goals – and then throw them into the fire. When you do so, you give that goal or accomplishment to the energy of fire, building the bridge between you and the element and bringing it further into your life. It will help you with motivation, energy, and innovation as you try to accomplish your goal.
