Fire across spiritual traditions

Fire appears across spiritual traditions as a symbol of transformation, purification, divine presence, and the destruction necessary for renewal—burning away illusion in Hindu tapas, consuming sacrifice in ancient ritual, illuminating truth in mystical experience. Its dual nature as creative and destructive force makes it a nearly universal image for the divine at work.
