The Sacred Fire
A magical valley surrounded by mountains is the shelter of ´The Sacred Fire´. The wisest man of the community has been given the role to keep the village fire alive. The fire is the keeper of life, keeping the people of the valley´s heart burning with joy for the dawn sun and for the winds which bring change and growth. The wise man guides the people in the valley in a gathering every full moon. The gathering helps the valley people to breath in the next stage of life and knowledge and to keep the magical world alive.
