LOGHA and its descendants

Post by Coco »

The descendants of LOGHA can be divided into two broad categories: one relating to the physical flame (Licht, ljocht, lux, etc.) and the other relating to the cultural ideas of the flame, such as truth and knowledge, which can be associated with reason, order, and law (logos, law, lex, etc.). Jan has previously discussed LOGHA in a 2012 blog post, but I wanted to add that idea on the subject. For instance, he observes that flames are also associated with the tongue, which is logical given that the Greek term "logos" can mean speech, reasoning, explanation, tradition, or law, among other concepts. Additionally, he notes that gazing into flames has historically served as a wellspring of inspiration, a practice that may have contributed to the development of sungazing.

I'm glad you mentioned sungazing, that has also been linked to fire-gazing and the fire "worship" of the Zoroastrians.
