Being aware of the heat of a fire is to be aware of someone elseâs strong feelings. Baptism by fire signifies a new awareness and awakening of spiritual power and transformation created sometimes through extremes of emotion. Fire is a valid western symbol of the spiritual energy known as kundalini, which rises from the base of the spine to the crown of the head and brings with it a shift in perception.
A fire bucket, as with any hollow vessel, can represent the feminine principle.
