Fire is the element of will, creative ignition, and directed force. When it appears as anger or impatience, it is not asking to be extinguished — it is asking for a channel.

• You feel reactive — quick to ignite, hard to come down from.
• You have energy with nowhere to go, and the effort of containing it is exhausting.
• You're emerging from burnout and need to rebuild what the fire is actually for.

• Kadulja (Sage) Salvia officinalis

  Harvested at dawn. For threshold moments before action or decision. Single leaf, brief burn, 30 seconds.

• Divlji timijan (Wild Thyme) Thymus serpyllum

  Harvested at noon. Courage and vital energy. Steep as tea before you need to speak or move.

• Metvica (Peppermint) Mentha piperita

  Fresh from the garden. Clears stagnation and revitalises. Use before action, not before rest.

1. Light a candle. Real flame.
2. Look at it for 30 seconds without looking away.
3. Write one sentence: "Today, I direct this toward ___." Blow out the candle.

For creative blocks, loss of passion, and the period after burnout. For women who have been told they are too much — too loud, too intense, too everything.
