Pyrokinesis

This is a basic pyrokinesis practice, something to help get you started.

What you will need: lighter/match, candles(preferably more then one), energy, concentration, patience, and stillness(little/no movement in the room).

Set the candle(s) in front of you and light one, just one. Place your hands on both sides of the flame, close enough for you to feel the heat without getting burned. Focus your energy into the flame and the flames energy into you, as some would say ''become one with the flame,'' and keep your mind clear of all other thoughts.

Now, visualize that single flame moving. First one way, then another, in circles, then reverse the circles, it doesn't matter which ways you move it first. Keep yourself calm and relaxed while you do this. Be patient and keep visualizing, willing the flame to move as you want it to, until it moves exactly as you want it to.

Once you have managed this with one candle, light another and move on to moving two with the same steps as mentioned before except that you would be visualizing two flames instead of one. After successfully doing this with multiple candles move on to bigger flames, but only if you are capable of doing so safely. Small bonfires, torches, etc. Remember that in all practice sessions, safety is very important. Be careful not to burn yourself, other people, or buildings.

One safety precaution that uses pyrokinesis is to put the flame out using your mind. To do this, simply visualize the flame disappearing. Whether it ices over, dissipates into the air, or simply extinguishes, putting it out with your mind is a very handy skill to have in case things get out of mundane control.

A very good safety precaution to take regardless of your level, and one I urge all of you to do no matter how good you think you are, is to keep plenty of water and/or a fire extinguisher nearby. Even if only working with a candle, fires can be dangerous and if you learn how to manage it with your mind there is the risk of it building up to a size that no candle could reach mundanely. Be safe and have fun.

Breaks between steps/attempts are acceptable so long as you do not give up. Some people find it easier to do after asking their spirit guides and the fire spirits for help. Good luck.

Elements

In many traditions there are five main elements.
-Air
-Fire
-Water
-Earth
-Spirit

A pentagram (Five pointed star) holds these elements. Every person is made up of all of these elements. Though some people lean more toward one element, or many depending on the person.
The zodiac signs do not dictate what your element is. One can be drawn to the element of their sign element though.
The zodiac signs do not use spirit for any of the sings. Here is a list of the zodiac signs and which element it falls under.

Air:
-Gemini
-Libra
-Aquarius
Fire:
-Aries
-Leo
-Sagittarius
Water:
-Cancer
-Scorpio
-Pisces
Earth:
-Taurus
-Virgo
-Capricorn

Alright, something often befuddles me, why is it that no one ever mentions the other sets of elements (the elements of other cultures), like the Wu Xing: Fire, Wood, Earth, Metal, and Water? Or the dozens of Alchemical Elements, or the Chinese Elements (apparently not the same as the Wu Xing though I'm sure the name Wu Xing is Chinese): Gold, Wood, Water, and Fire. The point is, it is kind of aggravating that I cannot find them anywhere while we offer knowledge of all paths, and yet one major culture group is seriously neglected, meanwhile everyone else just chants Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Fire, Water! There is more to it, and though I like the information of this thread, there is a serious cultural gap that I think needs to be considered (even cameoed) but not forgotten altogether.
