A: Living Spirit!
Because fire brings spiritual life to the altar. If one
observes an altar one will see that perhaps present on the altar are several objects that may seem to be
lifeless (not really because every atom is a triad of matter, consciousness and
energy and especially altar objects have a certain magnetic force that links
them to spiritual forces), and one may feel that a certain something is missing, an element of aliveness.
Fire burning from a candle or a oil burner etc. brings life
and the spirit to the altar, because fire is movement, heat, life and it is the
element most akin to the spirit of things. In short it brings the altar alive.
It is quite a special element. The Chrsitic force is said to be symbolised by
fire – the Christic fire.

Earth, water, fire and air - met together in a garden fair. Put in a basket bound with skin, if you answer this riddle you'll never begin.
