Fire spirits are mythical beings often associated with flames and heat. They are commonly found in various cultures and folklore, symbolizing energy, transformation, and passion. In many traditions, fire spirits are believed to control fire, bringing warmth and light, but they can also represent destruction if not respected. These entities are sometimes depicted as elemental creatures or deities, such as the Greek god Hephaestus or the Japanese spirit Kagu-tsuchi. Fire spirits can be seen as guardians of the hearth, embodying the dual nature of fire as both a source of life and a force of chaos.
