FIRE is the element of Will and Passion and is considered an Active element.
The direction and quarter of the Circle that corresponds to Fire is the
South, which we associate with heat. The season is, of course, summer ...
the time of growth and culmination of that growth. In the foundations of
magick Fire is the Magickal Will. The force of the magickal will enables the
magickian to carry through with goals, plans and dreams. Will serves as the
impetus for the magickal energy which is sent forth to act on the physical
plane to manifest the desire.
The tool of Fire is the Athame, the ritual dagger, which is used to inscribe
the magickal sigils in the air during ritual; to describe the circumference
of the magickal Circle; to banish phantasms and defend against them and to
heal via the act of removing holes in the aura through cauterization on the
astral plane.
The Sabbat which corresponds to Fire is Lammas, the Sabbat dedicated to Lugh
the Sun God. Lammas falls in the fixed fire sign of Leo, which is
characterized by dignity authority, creativity and flamboyance.
The archangel of Fire is Michael (pronounced Mee-kee-al), the archangel of
authority, victory, initiative and splendor. Michael is visualized in robes
of scarlet and green, bearing before him a flaming sword.
Fire is the application of the ideas of Air into physical reality as we
perceive it.
Salamanders are attributed to the element of Fire. They are not considered a
part of the physical flame as such, but the essence which enables the flame
to burn. Naturally, they are most active in the summer months and
geographically prefer the hotter regions. When they live in cold places,
salamanders reside in the hearth. They are full of passion and enthusiasm
and for this reason are sometimes considered dangerous as their
unpredictability can be disconcerting. However, they are actually very
generous and warmhearted, if treated with the respect due them. Salamanders
relate to the heart in the human body as well as the circulatory system.
Their king is called Djinn. Salamanders love the smell of burning wood and
spicy odors such as cinnamon and nutmeg. Candles, lanterns and mirrors are
attractive to them.
