Q: Why Fire on a Altar? – (1637)

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.

End (1637).

  1. 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.
