To Hindus, fire is: the light of life, the brilliance of intelligence, the ardor of strength, the glow of health, the energy of passion, anger and lust, the spark of divine desire.
"Fire of Azrael, used to see into the past and learn about past lives, is kindled of cedar, juniper and sandalwood.
The ancient fire festivals were sun charms. A burning fire wheel represents the course of the sun through the sky. Midsummer fire was concidered the fire of heaven.
In Ireland, coals from the bonfires of the fire festivals were carried into the grain fields as a charm against blight."
- from the Wiccan Hanbook (Eileen Holland)
