It has been argued that storytelling was invented not long after the discovery of creating fire. It was after this that man could sit down and rest, become warm and as night fell have a source of light.
If you have ever been in nature sitting by a fire you know the trance-like state you can easily put yourself in by stearing at the flames.
Although scrying can be done looking at many objects, even candles, I think a live burning fire is by far the best thing because it has sound. The crackle and pop of burning twigs is extremly relaxing - and it helps to be relaxed when meditating.
In modern society, unless you live in a house, it is very rare that one gets to enjoy a fire. This is too bad because we loose contact with a source of power that nature has given us. Seems now the only time fire - for citydwellers - enters our lives is when a Firetruck is steaming past us on the street. This it too bad...
Also I always feel that fire is the same fire that has always burned, as if it was part of some collective unconcious fire. As if in the flames aeons of time were kept. The fires that burn now are part of the same fire that burned thousands of years ago.
Perhaps that is why the past - more than the future - shows its face when I stare into the flames!
