Fire represents the direction/Guardian of the Watchtower of the South and the colors Red, Orange, and Scarlet. Fire is the element of anger, passion, strong will, and energy and is used as a purifying agent. It is sometimes known as the living element. It is perhaps the most ancient symbol of divinity.

Fire is a living principle of duality, providing light and heat to aid humankind, while at the same time being a force of death and destruction. When we invite fire into our circle at the south quarter we are visualizing the eternal flame of Spirit. It never dies. Fire is the sizzle of creativity and the eruption of passion.
