Offerings to the Fire Element
Without a beating heart we have no Gire within us, it is the blood that pumps around our bodies that generates heat and gives us the power to illuminate. Deep within our heart is a place that is eternal, an inner sun that burns with a light so bright it connects us to the very core of infinity. It is our innate nature that burns with wisdom and allows us to embrace life. When we align ourselves with the gods and with the path of The Craft we burn with fire, we burn with a yearning to know our soul’s destiny. That is what drives us on towards the source of all knowledge, it allows us to heal bits of ourselves and others because when we get just one single glimpse of the fire within the heart it is enough to illuminate the entire universe.
Although we have an inner fire there is nothing more beautiful to be sat round a camp fire, how many times have you looked deep into the flames and let them speak to you, they lull you to a place which allows visions to arise, transporting us inwards to the deep seat of knowing. The Craft has always been the place where those who follow it’s path burn with the passions of nature. To be alive with the fire of wisdom means that you have opened yourself up to the face of creation and allowed yourself to become enfolded in the arms of the Gods. They burn with the same fire, which is in your heart, they are made from the same seed fire that you have within. The Gods burn with the same eternal flame that illuminates our own being and to know the flame within means you come to know the face of the Gods. Fire burns away ignorance just like it clears the dead wood of the forest allowing new shoots to germinate bringing forth new growth. We all have dead wood within, our internal struggles and our ever-‐conflicting emotions are what keep the fire from burning bright. But when we get a glimpse of the fire we fan the f flames and they start to burn, they burn so bight that they produce a source of all light, without fire there would only be darkness and with total darkness no life would exist. Fire is the source of all life, without our sun this earth we live on would be a dead rock floating around a burnt out sun. Devoid of any life there would be no consciousness to illuminate itself. We are the universes knowing itself, and it’s through this element we come to understand these wisdoms.
Offering to fire can be anything that can be consumed by flames or even a simple votive candle.
