Fire is an alchemical element and one which brings transformation. It is lively and quick and leaves very little in its wake. Even in a more traditional sense, the Bible's last book of Revelations warns us that fire will come at about this time in history to cleanse and restructure the world as we know it. Though some might perceive this as a physical threat such as The Flood, I am one of those who feels it moving instead through our consciousness . We have evolved from a survival-driven species to one which largely takes home and hearth for granted and instead focuses on mental pursuits.
Technology is the crowned achievement of such mind power.
People who are discouraged from slaying dragons internalize the urge and slay themselves. She believes the fiery Warrior is an important facet of the Hero, but that it has been distorted in our culture. This has damaged men who become trapped in the myth and fail to develop their more caring, compassionate nature. It has immobilized women who do not speak their truth for fear of castigation. We all want to be loved.
