During the fire, the pit filled with charcoal was placed so high that the spectators could not see into it. The fire was prepared in such a way that a strip of 30 to 40 cm remained free in the middle. The priests then rubbed the soles of their feet with salt and marched along the narrow strip. The spectators did not notice that these firewalkers did not even touch the fire. Of course, I know that there are real firewalkers who prepare themselves by meditating for several months.&rdquo; (Source: Jesus auf allen Kontinenten, Dr Kurt E.

While the Indian firewalkers walk through the embers with a deadpan expression, and the Balinese fire dancers show signs of fear and exhaustion, the Fiji firewalkers walk over the glowing hot stones in an exuberant, cheerful and joking manner. This is a major attraction for anyone visiting Fiji. Two professors tested the conditions. They measured the temperature. It was 282 degrees Celsius before the thermometer melted. The firewalkers were exposed to this heat for 28 seconds. Firewalking is only practised by the Bega tribe, which has a demonic tradition. Christians on the island confirmed to me that this firewalking is pure Satanism. (Source: &ldquo;Jesus auf allen Kontinenten&rdquo;, Dr Kurt E.
