Fire is associated with the energy of life and in many traditions is considered the mouth of the Gods as it is used to deliver offerings.
Traditional Wicca hails Fire from the South, although it can be called from any direction one feels it connected to. If you live in the Southern hemisphere, you may want to call Fire from the North since the equator, and warmest part of the planet is North of you. Fire is sympathetically related to candles and swords. These items are often used on altars for the elemental representation.
In a dream, Fire can be a purifying element; it can relate to anger, to lust, passion or destruction. Its appearance signifies a major change happening.

Fire is active, warm, dry, bright and masculine. It can be represented on the altar with a candle or a fire bowl or a blade.
