Description

In the cosmology of antiquity and ancient eras, fire was the primordial element. It was the cradle of the force and unity of the world, the source of its soul and movement. A mediator between gods and mortals, it is venerated in a number of traditions. It in turn symbolises passion or anger, courage or fury. A means of purification and regeneration in the laboratory of the alchemists and the heart of the mystics, it is also a means of destruction wielded by man at his most bellicose. This review issue “Food for Thought” studies all facets of fire: the fire of passion, that of love and desire; the fire of initiation, that present in holy architecture from the temple of Solomon to Christian churches; the fire of the heart, the ally of the féron and the alchemist, the guide of the solar hero, the divine fire, the sacred fire of oriental tradition, the eternal fire of Agni Yoga founded by Nicholas and Helena Roerich...
