Fire is the element of change, will, and passion. In a sense it contains within it all forms of magick, since magick is the process of change. Fire magick can be frightening. The results manifest quickly and spectacularly. It is not an element for the faint-hearted. However, it is the most primal and for this reason is much used. This is the realm of sexuality and passion. It is not only the 'sacred fire' of sex, it is also the spark of divinity, which shines within us and all living things. It is at once the most physical and spiritual of the elements.
