==Tarot== Fire in [[Tarot card reading|tarot]] symbolizes conversion or passion. Many references to fire in tarot are related to the usage of fire in the practice of [[alchemy]], in which the application of fire is a prime method of conversion, and everything that touches fire is changed, often beyond recognition. The symbol of fire was a cue pointing towards transformation, the chemical variant being the symbol delta, which is also the classical symbol for fire.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tarotteachings.com/fire-symbolism-in-tarot.html|title=Fire Symbolism in Tarot|website=Taroteachings.com|access-date=3 September 2017}}</ref> Conversion symbolized can be good, for example, refining raw crudities to gold, as seen in [[The Devil (Tarot card)|The Devil]]. Conversion can also be bad, as in [[The Tower (Tarot card)|The Tower]], symbolizing a downfall due to anger. Fire is associated with the [[Suit of wands|suit of rods/wands]], and as such, represents passion from inspiration. As an element, fire has mixed symbolism because it represents energy, which can be helpful when controlled, but volatile if left unchecked.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.corax.com/tarot/index.html?element-of-fire|title=Raven's Tarot Site|website=Corax.com|access-date=3 September 2017}}</ref>
