Fire Angels

So who are the Fire Angels
A female only traditional witchcraft path that is the nearest of the traditional paths to Wicca. They use more spells and ceremonial magic and have their own range of skills.
In this overview we will look at Fire Witches generally, Fire Angels, what they do, and how to find out more.
Fire Witches
According to tradition, there were originally 4 types of witches, one each specializing on a single element, water, fire, earth and air. The fifth element, spirit being nearest in concept to water made the Water Witches the senior group.
There have been many references throughout history to those who tended or looked after the sacred flames. Just about all, were female orders, from vestal virgins, to UK groups that are thought to have become the first nuns on conversion.
Not all fire witches are completely female, the Fryske for example were/are a group coming originally from Germany and in Britain on the waterways up to a few generations ago, who could trace their ancestry back over 6,000 years with the aid of the Oera linda book. They had both male and female members although only females stood within the mill, a sort of square arrangement similar in function to a magic circle during ceremonies.
Fire witches, deal with demons, use lightning or fire stones, candles, emotionally hot topics and don't get so involved in the vast array of majic that orders like the Water Witches learn. Some like the fire Angels have a range of other interest as well.
So although fire witches are traditional witches some of their beliefs and practices are specific to them.
Fire Angels
Fire Angels are a path or type of fire witch, that was created by taking all the female parts from all fire traditions and some female parts from other traditions. It is a path only open to those who were born female in this lifetime. All religions were at some point made up or created, most from sections of older ones, and Fire Angels likewise were, they do not claim an ancient history in this format.
Being a female only order, they have additional power concentrating on the female elements of nature, are not distracted during most of there sessions by males, and can within a sisterhood fully support each other.
They are not bra burners or into women's rights, but instead empower their members to be equal or superior to men. They are not anti men, and enjoy there company individually, as equals, without being considered their property, or servants to them. They see sex as a source of pleasure as well a means of procreation, and have no hang ups on this.
Fire Angels have no higher structure, so each circle or coven is complete. They have only three grades of witches; apprentices, priestess (full witch) and high priestess. Where they need on occasions men or higher officers for a ritual they borrow them (work with) the senior traditional witchcraft order, who are the Water Witches. Each covens and circle are members of the Traditional Craft Association and cooperate with all other traditional groups.
What Fire Angels Do:-
- Empower their members, by teaching them how to manage people, control people by using emotions, gain personal confidence, and supporting each other.
- Help each other to look their best by sharing skills from make up and hair, makeovers, clothing choices, tanning, massage, and skills for looking younger and fresher.
- Allow sharing of skills and knowledge in craft skills and magic, practical training, role play and more. A trusted place for advice and training on sexual skills, contraception and similar topics.
- Provide a couple of friends they can each talk confidentially with at any time, and who are able to offer personal support when needed.
- Sort out any type of spirit that is not content or causing problems from ghosts and poltergeist to demons.
- Work with other traditional witchcraft groups when necessary.
- Enjoy life and every aspect of it to the full.
They do not get so involved in learning complex witchcraft skills as some orders, and are far more into the improvement of the quality of the lives and experiences of those who are Fire Angels. They look on it as a pleasant and contented way of life, not a religious calling, or a life long battle. They have no mission to convert anyone to our order who is not seduced naturally by what it has to offer them.
The main tools they use are wands, and fire stones. The wands are given to them when they become a full witch and are already empowered.
Fire Angels do not study craft skills in the same way some traditions do, so have less paramedical and similar skills available to them without working with another tradition.
In many ways they are similar to the Wiccans in that they can do some ceremonial magic, candle magic, and other non technical vibration magic and spells.
They instead concentrate on other skills, such as reading people, working out how to control emotions, manage people, and situations, seduction and flirting techniques to get others to do what they want, and studying popularity, seeding public opinion, and more.
They also take a great deal of interest in how they look, clothing, makeup, aging, and help each other to produce exactly the effect desired.
Both overcoming and preventing depression is another of their areas of interest. While you could probably not go as far as to say no fire Angel ever suffers from depressions, you could say that it is both very rare and a lot of understanding and help is available to those who do.
Counselling is another of there skills, providing an honest, comfortable environment where fellow witches know they have truthful and reliable friends to come to their assistance if needed.
