To purify all things that hinder the conduct of life and lead you to the blossoming of your destiny.
It is a ritual with great spiritual power.
The fire is not lit with a match or a lighter. It is a pure fire that was created by bringing the light of the heavenly sun to the earth.
In the early morning of Risshun, the starting point of the year, an annual ritual is held to light the fire. Similar to the Olympic torch, the sun’s rays rising from the East are focused through a lens. The fire is then lit in front of the gods for a year, and the fire itself is worshipped.
Light is both sun and fire.
The power of purification resides not only in water, but also in fire.
Your life is being taken care of by the protection and assistance of the gods. Focus your prayers into the fire ritual. It will purify everything that hinders progress in your life. It’s like stopping, taking a good look around, and then moving forward again. It is akin to misogi.
