BS&S ~ South something NOT a candle

For this swap, make or buy something that represents the element FIRE or the direction SOUTH to you. But, here's the twist, it can't be a candle!

Examples (suggestion only):

A wand or a stick
A red leaf
Something red: a rock or a feather
A heart to represent passion
A decorative matchbox (please do NOT send matches through the mail)

Some of the suggestions above can be used to represent more than one element. In my Trad, a wand represents Fire, while in other Trads, the wand represents Air.
I was going for the color of the leaf to represent fire, but again leaves can represent air or earth.
A feather is definitely Air, but a red feather could be Fire. Again, I was going for the color.

You do what feels right to you. This is Sender's Choice. Please include a note why you feel this object represents Fire.

If you were to set up an altar and you were out of candles, what would you use?

This can be handmade or store-bought. It can be a Found Item. New or used. Whatever calls to you.

If you choose to buy something, please don't spend too much. Thrift stores are fine.

Have fun with this one. Enjoy the hunt.

Next month, we'll do something to represent Water.

This is Sender's Choice. You can start looking now.

If you receive something that represents South or Fire, you must rate a "5".

Note: Because of the outrageous cost of postage, I'm going to make this USA only. I wish this wasn't necessary.
