What is the spiritual meaning of Fire? Transformation and a new beginning, fire is the destruction or removal of the past and it is a time to begin anew.
Why does Fire appear now? Fire replenishes the soul, the salamander walks out of the flames, the phoenix rises from the ashes. This is your time to walk away from the past.
How do I call upon fire? The smallest candle will light the way ahead, provide heat, bring light to the darkest space.
The Eastern continents and along the equator, fire is red, yellow and orange, it is most powerful from the West of a morning in Spring. It is inquisitive and promotes fresh perception, it burns ego and restores humility. Selfishness is replaced with passion, ignorance with curiosity.
The Northern Hemisphere and western society accepts fire to be in the South controlled by the Earth and Water and inspired by Air and Earth. For the alchemist Fire is both the inspirer and destroyer it is wisdom and knowledge that separates the two.
For the alchemist, spellcaster, witch, wizard and the weavers of energy: Fire is the inspirer, it will bring light into darkness. By using fire with Earth, Air and Water the strongest steel can be produced, lightning unchecked causes devastation to all who witness it.
Emotion is linked to ego and rage, the power of a volcano is uncontrolled causing devastation, a candle brings light to the darkest corner, a fire brings warmth, light and protection to the coldest night.
The Tarot is an amazing tool for divination recognised throughout many cultures: Fire is represented by the Wands. The wands can mean many things including: action, will, ego and temper. They can also mean positivity, ambition, passion and inspiration.
Fire and Air are influenced by the Sun and the divine masculine, coming from the South and West (northern hemisphere) Water and Earth are influenced by the Moon and the divine feminine coming from the East and North. when all of these are in alignment and balanced the Aetheric energy surrounding you is in total harmony. This is the point where the impossible becomes possible and time, place and circumstance create their own 'happenance.'

Here in the Northern Hemisphere we relate to: North / East / South / West - Horizontal Earth / Water / Fire / Wind - Aether Winter / Spring / Summer / Autumn – Year Lunar / Dawn / Mid- day / Dusk – Horizontal
Earth, Wind, Fire and Water as Elements. We relate the associated directions as North, West, South and East, with the seasons being Winter, Autumn, Summer and Spring. The natural power we can attune to with natural perception or through meditation, all of us have a natural ability to aspire to be a better person then we were yesterday. The art of alchemy = The transfer of energy we generate to natural.
