Magical Element Fire: The Action and Will of Manifestation
Fire is
the action-oriented part of the creation sequence that is also
associated with will, personal power and creativity. Once you've
developed the idea of what you want to create (and done the planning
part) in the Air element, it's time to move into Fire, where
you take action and endeavor to bring your creation into being.
Fire is associated with the direction South, which is
also the direction in which we perform all major spellwork and
creation. Fire elementals are called salamanders and reside in
campfires, woodstoves or anywhere there is a fire.
Specifically,
Fire corresponds to:
.energy, power, will, desire, anger, pain, motivation,
radiance, passion, initiative, aggression, limitation, endeavor,
activity, creative, willingness, urge, inspired, excitable, courage,
bravado, compulsion, fanaticism, frustration, resentment, rage,
freedom..
If you want to affect any of these areas in your life,
then you need to work with Fire. Unlike Air, which has only three
colors, Fire has six major
colors:
Sun Yellow - Spirit
fire, creativity, radiance
Yellow-Orange - Motivation, excitability, activity
Red-Orange - Anger, pain, fever, aggression,
drive
Bright-Red - Courage, bravado,
will, endeavor
Deep Red - Passion,
flow
Electric-Blue - All bands,
initiating force on galactic or universal levels
As with the element Air, you can use the element Fire
to adjust various aspects of your life. For instance, if you
consistently wake up with the "Monday morning blues," try adding Sun
Yellow to your environment. For instance, you could start dressing
in Sun Yellow, burn a Sun Yellow candle or put a Sun Yellow spread
on your bed.
All of these sources of Sun Yellow will nourish and
feed your spirit, increasing your Spirit vitality and chasing away
feelings of gloom and doom. Sun Yellow also feed any "hole in the
soul" feelings you might have (and which you might otherwise try to
fill with food, sleep or other numbing pleasures). Sun Yellow is
literally a spiritual "jump start". Give it a try!

More About Salamanders
Harry Potter played with salamanders in his movie.and
so can you! Salamanders occur around fires, such as wood burning
stoves or campfires. They are ball-shaped, pick up the energy of the
fire, and become visible. You will see a ball shaped dome in certain
parts of the fire, and ashes will fall around them, not on them.
They are useful to have around as they increase the
level of heat, making the fire hotter with less wood. If you leave
an inch of ash at the bottom of the campfire, it will encourage the
salamanders to stay in the campfire, which makes it easier to
restart when you return. To keep salamanders around, bed down your
coals with layer of earth, it provides an air insulator that they
can burrow into. You can dig them out later, and easily restart your
fire. A candle flame will spit out little sparks called sprites,
which are actually baby salamanders. You can catch them in baby food
jars and they will stay glowing in there for 30 or 45 seconds. If
you open the jar during that time, they will jump back into in the
candle flame. Have fun!
