Lady Alaria -> RE: Fire Play for the First Time (11/16/2006 3:54:05 AM)

I adore fire, been playing with it since I was a kid and nearly set the kitchen on fire. Me and my sister discovered that you could light the vapors that came out of a nail polish remover bottle. Then accidentally spilled the bottle across the floor. Wanted to ask, what is fire flogging? And, MasterFire, how would fire poi work into fireplay? I mean, I could see spinning fire around someone's head could invoke a bit of terror play. I sworddance, and love to spin a fully live blade around, at speed, while someone is kneeling at my feet ;). But I'm not sure what you mean by 'swish the fire across the body'. Elaborate? Couple notes To Marquisd: Alcohol+fire out of control+ water generally=bigger fire methinks. I could be wrong on this. Wet towel is great, but just 'water on hand'.... The point about 70/30 was good though. 99% isopropyl will actually ignite(as opposed to the vapors igniting) and therefor roast the skin. Could be bad. To MaamJay: depends on who's system of reference you're using as to what the definition of 'alive' is. According to the modern scientific definition of life, you are absolutely correct. But science is just a methodology of understanding. A map, not the territory. And words have a lot of other ways of being used than the pure scientific definitions. Just like 'energy' can be, quite correctly, used to describe things other than what those crazy electrons get themselves up to while you're not lookin. I tend to think of fire as being alive, but then, I have meaningful conversations with trees, so...shrug. Sorry for the mild thread hijack in the last bit, I'm just annoyed by fundamentalist science dogma almost as much as I am by it's christian equivalent..
