Elements series - Fire

-


 Hi guys,

First, let me apologise for no blog post yesterday, my 3 hours at work turned into an epic shift that started at 7.30 am and went on well into the afternoon. No excuse, I should have planned in advance, but I didn't, so my apologies once again.

So, grovelling out of the way, let's start this week with a bang!

Fire!

Continuing with our elements theme, we are starting fire today. I thought we had to really, as the tarot on Tuesdays have all been fire cards.

I have just realised that in our previous elements posts, that I have not covered the cardinal compass points correspondences, so that will be a separate post at some point.

Uses in magicks:

Fire has been used for centuries in magicks. 
Think of purifying smoke. Incense is used extensively in various ceremonies, including secular and non-secular ceremonies. 
How many of us have candles, or have practiced candle magic in one form or another?
Ever leapt over a Beltane bonfire? I have, and I have ashes from that same bonfire to use in magical workings too. 
Ever written a letter and burned it? Sent a letter up the chimney with your wishes on it? Ceremonially burned everything you have left of your ex?
The wand or rod corresponds to fire in ceremonial use, hence the tarot reference above.

Altar items:


As you can see, Cat did all my work for me on this section, so enjoy her posts.

Ancestral Work (part 1 )

 Ancestral Communication and Work. Hi Guys, It's me again, as this is work that I have been actively doing, and Cat and I agreed that I would do this post for you. It seems to fit in well with the season. We have discussed this subject briefly in some other posts, such as Vivianite  (just use the search function and input ancestors or spirit work, and you will find the posts to read whichever ones shout at you, as there are too many mentions to put them in here). We discussed communication with spirits in a previous post but this is a lot more specific as it deals with our own flesh and blood. I do have a qualification in Ancestral Healing, so this is a precursor to any more in-depth posts that we may do in the future if you want them. The pic above is one I took recently when I felt the call to tend to the graves of my nan, and her mum, whose headstone is pictured above. As with a lot of practices, you can be as elaborate or as basic as you need.       ...
