Dreaming of lighting a fire at a shamanic ritual - dream meaning with inherited lore
Lighting a fire at a shamanic ritual may touch on a desire to burn away and sort through what has built up inside, then start fresh.
Firewood or embers lie to one side of the ritual, and you light them yourself. As the flames grow, the surroundings brighten or smoke slowly rises.
Korean lore: Traditionally, lighting a fire at a ritual has sometimes been interpreted as easing bad energy and welcoming a new energy. If the fire burned steadily, it may also suggest greater momentum or order in your affairs. (Because fire in folk rituals was used to cleanse what was impure and brighten a space, it is sometimes read as a symbol of purification and transition.)
Through the mind: You may be feeling ready to sort out something you want to finish or an emotion you’ve carried for a long time. It may also be a time when you want to change the atmosphere by starting with a small action.
