The Sacred Fire — the living flame of the hearth and the altar, both a god and the carrier of offerings to the gods: the Vedic Agni, whose name is the very Latin word ignis (and Slavic ogon); beside it stands the Iranian Atar, the fire of the Zoroastrian temples. The flame that bridges earth and heaven, named almost the same across half the world. — comparative mythology
