FIRE
Fire is the creator and destroyer.  It warms our homes, cooks our food, and fuels our passions.  Unlike the other elements, fire cannot exist in physical form without consuming something else.  Thus, fire transforms objects into new forms: heat, light, ash, and smoke.

On a sunny day, go outside at noon and press your receptive hand against a warm rock.  Smell the smoke from a burning fire.  Gaze into a candle's flame.  Immerse yourself in fire energy, and realize that it also exists within ourselves.

Fire must be controlled to be of benefit to us.  When we light a candle, we call upon it's powers - but also limit them.  This is necessary if it's physical forms are to be of use.  But even a raging forest fire actually helps the Earth, cleansing away underbrush and encouraging dormant seeds to burst into new life.
