I will kindle this fire under the
eyes of the Tuatha De Danann
under the eyes of Brigit daughter of the Dagda,
under the eyes of Aedh the bright one.
Without fear, jealousy or malice of any
kind to anyone under the sun,
but with the light of the Goddess to protect me.
Goddess of the sun, kindle within me a fire
of generosity and love to all:
To my friends, my kindred, my foes
and kindle within me a fire of bravery,
eloquence and generosity of truth,
strength and wealth, of beauty, charm
and grace, so that I may inspire with my words.
May this fire be blessed in the eyes of the Ancient
but ever-present Gods.

Add to a red candle power in your name
and then call forth the elements of the Earth.
Invoke the element of fire
Say Aloud:
Fire, I appeal to your heat,
To help me in this magical feat,
Bring me what I ask,
As will be seen, as can be!
Sit in front of the candle flame to see her dance for a while.
Say Aloud 3 times:
Allow the flow of passion in me, and above all,
Allow me to completely fill its tides, inside and everywhere.
Enthusiasm and new Fellowship force for whatever comes my way,
And make me eagerly seize every new day.
Allow the candle to burn completely.

Random Madness Home PageDisposal In Fire
Although it could be argued that the ritual burning of candles
and incense powders constitutes laying a trick in fire,
for all practical purposes fires are only used to deploy
the items in a spell when something flammable and small,
like a name-paper or photograph, is burned up rapidly.
Because such spells are quite often intended to harm the
victim whose name or picture is being burned, in these
cases the fire is used not as a location for deployment,
like earth or running water, but as a symbolic form of torture,
similar to sticking a doll-baby with pins and needles.
Singing a picture, a little bit at a time, is considered
a strong method to "light a fire" under a person
to get them to obey your commands.
Fire can be used to dispose of the remains of spells,
but generally speaking, because fire is seen as
completely terminating the object that is burned,
disposal by fire is not performed on remnant materials
you may have laid down yourself, whether for good or for ill,
either on your own behalf or as work for a client
unless you are well and truly finished with that piece of work.
Rather, fire -- especially an open-air bonfire
is considered a sovereign vehicle for disposal of the
dangerous remains of an enemy trick that someone else
has laid down for you or for a client.
A suspicious gift that might have been fixed to harm
you or a letter that you suspect was dressed with
coercive powders are prime candidates for disposal by fire.
Root workers who are helping a client take off a jinx
or break up crossed conditions often dig around the
victim's doorstep, porch, fireplace chimney,
or house corners until they find a bottle or box spell
and this item becomes a prime candidate for disposal in a fire.
If it explodes as it burns, that is seen as a highly
satisfactory sign that the jinx was successfully
removed and sent back to its maker.
Disposing of a petition paper in fire after burning a candle
is an old traditional practice and may have entered African
American hoodoo through contact with Chinese folk magic,
where it is an essential ritual act. Not everyone does it
the same way, but in my youth, the most popular method was
to burn the paper in the candle flame right before it went out.
However, as conjure practices have evolved, this method has not
always been seen as practical, due to changes in the types
of candles that people employ in their work.
In the old days, most folks used free-standing candles in their
spell-casting rites. If you are burning a free-standing offertory,
jumbo, or figural candle, then setting the petition paper alight
at the end is a great conclusion to the ritual. All it requires
is having a brass dish on the alter in which to drop the burning paper,
lest you scorch your fingers. The ashes from the petition paper can
be mixed with sachet powder and used to further the intention of the
spell, according to the many ways in which powders are customarily employed.
However, during the late 1970s, glass-encased candles were introduced
into rootwork practices. Their long burning times and relative safety
when left unattended made them quite popular and to some extent they
have replaced the old-style free-standing candles once so common in
our work. This change in candle usage has also brought about a change in
the disposal of the petition paper after the candle is done.
if you are burning a glass-encased vigil light or a religious novena candle
and wish to perform a divination on the candle glass after the candle is
finished, either via ceromancy (wax reading) or capnomancy (smoke reading),
then burning your petition paper inside the candle glass will definitely
smoke the glass up and change the signs you would have seen if you had
left the glass alone. Because a clear, clean candle glass portends success,
it would seem counter-productive to smoke up a clear glass at the end of the
rite, by tossing the petition paper into it and setting it alight.
Thus it would behoove you to invest in a small brash dish to catch the ashes
from your burning petition paper, and not to drop the smoking paper into the glass.
Finally, regardless of the kind of candles you set on your altar,
you may not want to dispose of the petition paper in fire, and you
should not feel bound to do so. There are cases in which you might
find it a good idea to save the petition paper for further use rather
than to dispose of it. Depending on the kind of spell work you are
performing, you may wish to wear the petition paper in your shoe,
carry it in your wallet, hide it over a door-frame, set it loose in
running water, or save it for a continuation of the candle rite at
a future date. The latter is especially the case if the petition has
taken the form of a packet rather than a mere paper and contains personal
concerns or herbs that would be difficult to replace if it were burned.

Random Madness Home PageFire Spell 1
Casting fire spells is one of the most common ways of
harnessing the elements, usually with candles.
Fire is a powerful element that represents all kinds
of passion, energy, ego, willpower, creativity,
strength and even anger. Though you can cast spells
specifically for these things, fire is usually
introduced to bring more energy to your purpose,
even if that purpose is not fire-related on its own. Make sense?
You Will Need:
altar tools like an athame or candles
stones such as carnelian, garnet, bloodstone
oils and herbs like cedar, cinnamon, basil and rosemary
As I mentioned, most fire spells include candles as a way
of using the element. You can also burn things,
though this isn't always practical.
Having a fire-proof cauldron can help
if you want to use more fire.

Random Madness Home PageEveryday Fire
It is around us every day. We see it, touch it;
we are sometimes burned by it.
It is the warmth of a comfortable place to sit,
and the roaring blaze that devastates an entire village.
It burns within every beat of our heart. Fire.

Random Madness Home PageFire is Change
Fire is around us everywhere. The energy of Fire is often
quite obvious, but sometimes can be tricky to spot.
Do you have a special piece of jewelry? Most times we
look at an object and see its earthy solid form, what
it looks like today. But the metals in your jewelry
took their present shape by being forged at temperatures
higher than we might imagine. And as long as they retain
that shape, they retain the impact of Fire. Fire is energy.
Energy has the power to change things. In fact, the symbol
for Fire (a triangle pointed upwards) is a Greek symbol
called Delta – which means change. Think how the energy
of events in your own life have “forged” you, changed
your life and shaped you into what you are today.

Random Madness Home PageFire is Light
Much of the work and play we do is aided by Fire.
Reading uses Fire, since it requires light, usually
either Sunlight or electrical light — both very Fiery indeed.
Next time you read something, give a special “thank you” to
the light energy which carried its joy off the page to the
gleam in your eye. Take note that whatever change in the
world caused by reading – every classroom, every election
booth, every love-letter – comes to us via the light of Fire.

Random Madness Home PageFire is the Sun
What else depends on light? Photosynthesis:
the act of turning Sunlight into food.
Plants do this everyday. All our food, our incense,
our herbal medicines, our wooden homes, all contain
the Sunlight stored away over the years by plants.
Feel it? Recognize the Sun’s stored flame next time
you hold an object made of wood. When wood burns it
actually releases this solar energy into a fiery glow.
Feel the warmth of the sun next time you enjoy a camp
fire, fireplace, or simple votive candle. There is something
very primal within Fire. From cave-times to today, people
huddling around an open flame regard it as something special.
Without question, people notice how Earth’s agricultural
breadbasket nourishes us. But what nourishes the Earth
with enough energy to create such delights? The sun!
Mother Earth contains the solid materials, the building-blocks
ready to construct this bounty. But Sunlight provides the
energy to ignite life, turning the fields green and growing.
Sunlight also charges people with a special glow.
Try soaking up the Sun on a hot summer day.
Store it within you. Whether you feel it or not,
the Sun’s energy changes you a bit, like the way
a glow-in-the-dark watch shines after you hold
it up to the light. Feel the Sun’s flame within you.
Is there a special part of your body that reacts to
the Sun more than others? Maybe after hours of
soaking up its energy, you have Sun-hair, Sun-skin,
Sun-eyes? Do more intense things happen to you after
you’ve been in the sun? Do people treat you different?
Perhaps they sense a little bit more radiance within you.

Random Madness Home PageFire is Magic
We often recognize the magic of water and herbs when brewing
our magical teas, but the heat in our hot steamy cup also
contains Fire. Next time you seek healing energies from a
cup of hot tea, direct the Fire energy within its heat to
work for you as well. Ask it to speed your recovery.
You might find working with all the elements within your
cup works better than any single one alone.
Your home is well-charged with Fire. I often look to my
heater’s pilot light as a perpetual candle flame that
always stay lit. A home is rarely without Flame.
Its lights, its electrical devices all breathe Fire’s
life throughout your house, transforming it from a
cold dark place into a warm happy home.
People often find special magic within color.
Fire burns with a variety of colors. Copper
burns green; silicon (like sand or glass)
burns yellow. If you like working with Fire,
and color, try creating a Flame that matches
the color of your desires.
But be ecologically aware – whatever you burn ends
up in the air and the ground where its ashes remain.
Try to keep it simple.
People work with Fire in many ways. Ever notice
someone trying to start a difficult car?
They make facial expressions, utter words of encouragement;
they even do some rather interesting rocking motions –
anything to crank electricity from the car’s battery
to the starter and into the engine!
Gotta light? Ever notice the way someone acts when they
light a cigarette for someone else, someone they desire?
Its like they communicate right through the flame as it
is passed from one person to another.

Random Madness Home PagePassing the Flame
Try passing a flame from one place to another,
like lighting a candle or incense stick from
somewhere special on your altar. I like to pass
flames from one candle to another, thinking about
how one candle gains the gift of life from another.
If you use a candle in magic, when might you want
to light its flame from the Goddess candle on your
altar? The God candle? Or perhaps the candle of a
particular direction? Is there a particular source
of flame that might work best for your intent?
If you own a car, what type of special work might you do
with the flame from your car’s dashboard lighter?
From your kitchen stove? What fires await within that
matchbook you took as a memento of a special place?
For some fun, try lighting a Fire with a magnifying glass,
starting your flame with nothing but the light of the Sun!

Random Madness Home PageFire is Divination
Fire can be used for a variety of divination techniques.
We’ve all heard of scrying into tea leaves,
but what about scrying into the ashes left behind
by a small fire, perhaps in your trusty cauldron,
or maybe in that same heat-resistant mug you use for tea.
Instead of pouring water on your fragrant leaves, light
them aflame! Try burning special woods or herbs, parchment,
photos, old pay stubs, the daily news. What might work best
to answer your particular question? Besides looking at the ashes,
did you notice anything unusual about the flame? Did it peak
in any particular direction before going out? What does that
direction mean to you? For a new experience, take a blank piece
of paper and wave it over a candle flame, close enough to leave
black soot marks, but not close enough to ignite.
Interpret these sooty shapes and designs the same way you would
a cloud in the sky. Do you see a pair of lips? Perhaps a bunny
rabbit? What do these shapes and symbols mean to you?
(“Faerie Realm,” Ted Andrews, Llewellen Publications.)

Random Madness Home PageFire is Alive
Each flame is a unique life form, a unique spirit unlike any other.
It has life and breath, it is born, consumes, grows, then flickers out,
leaving behind an empty shell. Ashes to ashes. Are we any different?
Try sensing the spirit in the flames you encounter. What makes “this”
candle just a little bit different than the other? Try communicating
with the engine spark that moves you from one place to another.
Acknowledge the energy that warms your bath, rings your phone,
gives you a tan or just keeps your heart going one beat to the next.
Try whispering softly to even the bathroom nightlight.
Some of these flames might just answer you back!
