Wikipedia
cleanup-dateAugust 2005 Fire has been important to all peoples of the earth, and it is rich in spiritual tradition.
Western concepts of Fire - Fire is one of the four classical elements in ancient Greek philosophy and science. Prometheus stole fire from the gods to protect the otherwise helpless humans, and was tortured for his kindness. Fire is considered to be both hot and dry, and according to Plato is associated with the tetrahedron.In Wiccan tradition, it is associated with the South, Summer, and the color red on the physical plane. It is sometimes represented by a red triangle, the athame, blood, candles, the guitar, rubies, and incense. Fire represents energy, inspiration, passion, and masculinity. In rituals, Fire is represented in the forms of burning objects, love spells, baking, and lighting candles and fires.The manifestations of the Element of Fire are the sun, lightning, fires, volcanoes and lava, all forms of light, and ovens. Cats of all types, especially the lion and tiger, are also thought to personify the element of Fire, as are all predatory creatures, such as the fox. Astral creatures of Fire (elementals) are the Salamander, Phoenix, Drake/Dragon and the Falcon (Although most associate this with Air). Fire’s place on the pentagram is the lower right point. Fire is represented by the Greeks, an apple-bough and in Christian iconography by a lion.An anonymous poem called "Invoking the Elements" says::This is the Fire, my Children; these are the Creatures::Drake who hoards; Kirin who gives;:Angel who heals; Chimera who reaves;:Coal the slow; Lightning the quick;:Salamander, power's wick;:Soul who praises; Gryphon who scorns;:Phoenix who dies and is reborn.:This is the Fire I conjure, and this is the birth of the World.
Non-Western concepts of Fire - In China and Japan Fire is represented by a red bird; in the Aztec religion, by a flint; to the Hindus, a lightning bolt; to the Scythians, an axe.

Laboratorio di archeologia sperimentale
In questo laboratorio i partecipanti diventano protagonisti e non spettatori passivi nell'apprendere la Preistoria. Vengono utilizzati gli elementi essenziali della natura con ingegno, ragionamento, inventiva e fantasia per raggiungere un fine: costruire un utensile in osso o in pietra, tessere con un telaio verticale in uso nel Neolitico, accendere il fuoco con le pietre focaie o con l'archetto, scheggiare la selce, lavorare la ceramica o pitturare con l'ocra. Tutto ciò solo con l'aiuto dei materiali della natura, delle informazioni essenziali e con l'immedesimazione nel periodo trattato. Nel laboratorio si modifica il rapporto di subalternità che esiste tra il docente e lo studente nella lezione tradizionale. Qui tutti diventano protagonisti, uno sperimentatore che formula ipotesi di ricostruzioni, osserva e analizza, manipola oggetti e strumenti, applica, reinventa o riproduce, riflette sui risultati e sugli errori attraversando le tappe dell'evoluzione umana culturale e sociale. A differenza del museo, dove l'oggetto viene solo osservato, nel laboratorio viene analizzato e ricostruito sviluppando quelle abilità manuali che oggi purtroppo non vengono più esercitate avendo a disposizione tutti gli oggetti già definiti. Passare dalla storia narrata al fare storia, vuol dire anche attraversare in modo orizzontale e verticale il curricolo in un percorso pluri ed interdisciplinare.
