NEEDFIRE OLD FOLK CUSTOM
Part of the Ritual of Purification That
Ha* Survived in Scotland Until
Recently.
In folk custom, ncedfire is fire kin
dled by friction of two sticks of wood
or of a rope on a wooden stake to
ward off demons of disease. Among the
■many customs and beliefs connected
with Are one of the most Important is
that of ritual purification. The new
lire is supposed to regenerate, as Are
sacrifice is designed to sustain, the
Invisible beings. Need Are is a prac
tice, usually, of shepherd peoples to
ward ofT disease from the docks. In
historic times the sparks for kindling
the need Are were obtained by twirling
« wooden peg around a wooden post.
As In the case of new Are, the need
tire was almost alwnys accompanied
with the extinguishing of the Ares of
the locality, and the neighbors nlso
rekindled their Arcs from it ns In the
new Are ceremony. In practice, the
people passed, or the herds were driv
en through or between the Aames of
the need Are for purlAcntlon. The need
tire cnstom survived In the highlands
of Scotlanl until recent date, and
probably traces of this superstition
still exist In parts of Europe.
