Candles were once composed of fat of coes or humans, and recently have become beeswax. Therefore, flame is of course fire and spirit as spirit is a consuming fire; but also earth and air.
All fires consist of flammable matter consumed by air - and catch fire with a spark or by friction.
incense are flammable materials dry and cold, therefore of Earth air and fire.
Which is why the chalice is to contain water or wine, better rainwater, melted snow or wine as it is heavens or earths water.
But why oh why must we have these elements in Ceremonial Magic but to spark the mental drama?
