Overview

Since ancient times people have been drawn to fire, not only for practical purposes but as a source of reverence, energy and comfort. The element of Fire is purifying, uplifting and has a strong protective power. A masculine element, fire is both a creator and a destroyer. By calling forth and drawing on the positive aspects of fire we can bring its energy into our magickal work and daily lives. The positive aspects of fire include creativity, passion, confidence, courage, transformation and purification while the negative aspects include jealousy, anger, fanaticism and control. However, these negative or “shadow” selves are not so much things to fear but rather they are possible aspects of our selves that we should be aware of and also be learn from.

Candle magick and fire rituals such as fire scrying and banishment spells are common ways in which to work with the positive, cleansing and empowering nature of fire. But because it can be a dangerous element, precautions should always be made when working with fire such as keeping lit candles away from flammable objects and carefully supervising an open flame or fire pit.

For ritual work, aside from the use of fire whether with candles, fire pit or cauldron, there are other ways to call forth its energy. The following is a list of herbs, plants, gemstones, colors, etc., which are associated with the element of Fire.
