     Fire is the element of spirit, courage, will, and desire.  It is a projective element which means that it is ruled by the male aspect.  Fire represents the will and drive of each individual spirit.  Fire is represented by the wand during ritual and is usually placed in the southern part of the circle.  Fire will help manifest truth, and tradition in your life, but it takes strong drive and an even stronger will.  Fire can have both a smooth, methodical energy (a candle flame), and a swiftly moving one (forest fire) depending on individual circumstances.  When you call upon fire in ritual, you will feel a strong sense of tradition, and overwhelming purity.  You cannot deceive Fire, it always knows your spirits true desires.  Its energy is one based in truth and honesty, and therefore it will always bring results of genuine intent.  Fire cannot only manifest things in your life, but it can help rid you of any unnecessary issues you may be dealing with.  Banishing with Fire is very effective and brings immediate and long lasting results.  Fire is the element of transformation and can help change old worn out habits or patterns into strong, healthy traditions that produce beneficial results.  Fire is also the element of desire, and it will help to bring about any desire that you may have.  If you are unsure of any situation focus on Fire for the strength and courage needed to bring the situation to light.  

     There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
