the Fair Folk are always within

The Element of Fire

Fire is dynamism, Fire is heat, Fire is change. It brings both creation and destruction. Without Fire all would be inert and frozen. In all its forms, Fire is what makes life exciting, and it is often the energy that moves us on to new phases, when suddenly everything looks different.

In some ways Fire is the most difficult Element to work with, because it is so powerful, and these energies can easily get out of control. However, it is important that we do become aware of the fire fairies. We need them in order to get in touch with the passion and creativity within ourselves.

Fire spirits are called salamanders, and they are present wherever there is Fire, both seen and unseen. Despite their name, they do not by any means always appear as reptiles. While the dragon is one of their forms, they may also be human like. Tiny fire spirits dance in each candle flame, while mighty salamanders play in desert and volcano.

Salamanders are highly intelligent spirits and one of their functions is to inspire. This is not the inspiration of ideas that comes with the sylphs, but flashes of genius that come when we connect with the Otherworld.

Salamanders are also stimulator's of passion, including sexual passion, and instill courage, idealism, and vision. Their hearty play renews the soul. They become interested in us when we harness our demons, face ourselves, and meet the challenges of life.

Flames are the manifestation of the elemental force, which is Fire.

Attune to this and your spirit will ignite.
