It is the destruction of life into ashes, the magic of catabolism, exothermic destruction and release of life's constructive energy. |

If, before beginning a work of any importance, initiates customarily light a candle, it is because they know that fire will introduce them to the subtle regions where their thoughts and their voices will be heard and where they will find the conditions for achieving their goals. All true magi have a very powerful bond with fire. Even though religion has gradually lost the meaning of these initiatic practices, the tradition of lighting candles or lamps in churches continues; this proves that human beings unconsciously preserve the ancient knowledge that the presence of fire promises fulfilment."

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 41217722 Indeed - the symbolism is amazing. The lower nature recoils from fire, but the "spiritually inclined" (for lack of a better term) do not. Moses atop Sinai comes to mind. . .the mountain was on fire, and the Israelites were terrified, but Moe went right up there and communed with God. Fire cleanses, leaving us in ashes - a symbol of humility. |
