Evil hates fire, so lighting a fire cuts off impurity and exorcises evil spirits. It is used to ward off evil spirits, purify oneself, grant wishes, and pray for safety and security when going out. To start a fire, hold the flint in your dominant hand and the flint sickle in the other hand, holding them as horizontally as possible. Without moving the flint sickle much, he struck the corner of the stone in his dominant hand forcefully forward, scraping off the edge of the sickle, sending several sparks flying. The proper way to purify the sparks is to tap them two or three times on the right shoulder of the person leaving or from the area you wish to purify.
