It's a bit intriguing in the sense of a Witch to think of wildfires. What happens in a wildfire? The destruction of many habitats for familiars, perhaps, and it's unfortunate for the time being. An unlikable view of a beautiful, gigantic sentinel tree going timber to the ground all burnt up and all. But what is probably peculiar is a migration of animals going toward the burnt wilderness (or what was left of it). And actually...in a sense the wilderness is still there...regardless of whether a tree is seen standing or not. :)
I remember listening to a study on why this happens: the animals who embraced the wilderness were really taking advantage of the wilderness's resources. I guess it's kind of like the saying "life goes on". Later on, much later on, after the newly transformed wilderness became a resource to feast on, the trees regrow much stronger, much thicker!
In addition to this, it's much like fall and spring: the leaves fall sometime during October, and then they regrow beautifully during the Spring. The winter is only a phase.





The earth uses fire as a way to rejuvenate. Survival of the fittest is not a new concept. Its a shame that human life and possessions get in the way of the Earth's transformation, thus causing people to feel the need to stop nature. The wildfires should be allowed to burn (of course, excluding those caused by careless humans- but even those fires serve a purpose.) As for the animals (minus homo sapiens) they are the true guardians of the Earth, the ones who really do "leave no trace", they know the Earth will renew, it does so FOR THEM. I, as well as many others, do not see the fire as destruction, only as a form of housecleaning.
