Alchemical symbol for fire

Warmth, heat and fire (from Old High German: fiur; Greek: πῦρ pyr; Latin: ignis; Hebrew: אֵשׁ esch or נר nour, cf. ner, "candle, light(s)"[1]; Arabic النور Al-Nour "light, day, fire"), the fire element, formed the basic substance of Old Saturn. It came into being through the sacrificial act of the Thrones who surrendered their will substance. In the Hebrew alphabet Shin (שׁ), the first of the three mothers, stands for the creative fire of the spirit from which this material basis of Old Saturn had sprung. At that time the physical body of man was predisposed as a body of pure warmth or heat body. w:Heraclitus' view that everything sprang from fire vaguely points to this origin of the evolution of our whole planetary chain. Old Saturn's fire can today only be compared approximately with that which flows through our blood as living warmth. Just as light is opposed to darkness, heat is opposed to cold as an independent force.

From a chemical-physical point of view, fire is based on the formation of flames associated with light and heat phenomena, which are caused by the hot, partially ionised gases produced by the combustion of suitable fuels. Heat, or more abstractly energy, still forms the basis of the whole material world. From the theory of special relativity published in 1905 by Albert Einstein (1879-1955), the equivalence of mass and energy follows according to the well-known formula E = mc2.
