How to Control Fire Magic
- 1). Attune yourself with fire. Light a candle in a darkened room and put on a soothing CD. Instrumental music, such as drums or Native American flutes, is best.
- 2). Focus on the candle flame. Notice how the air currents move the flame, how the colors change from the wick to the outer edges. Hold your hand above the flame to feel its heat.
- 3). Understand the fire. While studying the candle flame, watch how it melts the candle. Know that fire is dangerous and must be treated with caution and respect.
- 4). Stack small twigs in an inverted cone-shape and light them. Slowly feed larger bits of wood into the flame, noticing how the flame grows and consumes the wood. Understand that fire will keep consuming until it is put out.
- 5). Start small when you begin to use fire magic in rituals. Begin with using candles, asking fire to lend you its energy. Direct the energies only with the fire's permission
- 6). Thank the fire after each ritual and always snuff candles with fingers or a candle snuffer. Put out larger fires by tossing dirt on them. Blowing out candles or using water will offend the fire element.
- 7). Never use fire magic to harm. This taps into the darker energies of fire that are harder to control. Always practice fire magic in a safe area, cleared of flammable items, where the fire can be contained.
