Fire has been important to all people of the earth, and it is rich in spiritual tradition. Fire is also an element that humans and many other creatures cannot exist without, for it offers us warmth and light.

Greek and Roman Tradition
In Chinese tradition, fire is one of five elements. It is associated with the planet Mars, summer, the south and the color red. It is also believed to govern the heart. Fire is associated with the qualities of dynamism, strength and persistence; however, it is also connected to restlessness.
In the conquest cycle, fire overcomes metal, and in turn is overcome by water. In the birth and nurturing cycle, fire burns to earth, and is sparked by wood igniting. The element plays an important role in Chinese Astrology and feng shui.
