Fire holds the power of both creation and destruction- will you use this element to kindle warm emotions or ignite the fiery might of a volcano?
Blessed be!
Yes- spread those flaming wings and let your fire magic take flight! 
And such a lovely chant, too- reading it fills me with energy! 
as I feel like it symbolises rebirth, power, fire etc.
Iāll post a pic after. 
closet to my siblings and they were really nice about it I decided to throw an impromptu fire magick ritual at them they could participate in too. It was the first time I had done any kind of a group ritual, so it felt pretty special to be actually hosting one! Dressed for the occasion too, I was radiating power and self confidence that surprised me too.
I took my cauldron (a cooking pot, you use whatās available) and lifted it ceremoniously to become the centerpiece of the table. I explained them how the ritual works and asked for their consent once more. Once I got it I gave them and myself a pen and a piece of paper. We each wrote one thing on the paper we wanted to banish from our lives, and folded it in two and once more in two to keep it private. Openness and transparency are generally nice, but some things you want to keep secret especially if you want to burn and not communicate them! 
I have a few small tattoos, all mean something to me- pentagram star on the back of my neck, air water and earth symbols, treble clef and stars on my foot.
