Fire, honestly, is a scary topic. Why? Because from our very first years of life, we have been admonished by our parents and other authority figures to stay away from fire. ”Don’t get too close, or it will burn you.” Was the common refrain. And they spoke the truth. Getting burned hurts, and it’ll leave a scar too. But after the first or second time of being burned, that lesson was learned. Fire, or maybe it’s just the pain of burn that fire imparts, teaches lessons. A fire has so many uses. It keeps us warm, alchemizes (cooks) our food, purifies water, coteries wounds, purifies metals, hardens pottery, and lights the way. Fire is indispensable. So why has fire been demonized rather than respected for its transformative powers?
