Thank you for your appreciation, it's always nice to receive compliments.

I have not used my staff in rituals, I have used it in meditations and notice that it quickly burns out the outside world and heats up my core. I do a lot of spinning in place myself, not just the staff, when meditating with fire similar to suffis (it's where I got the idea actually). The fire seems to always know the right places to set aflame. It can be very intense work but is always well worth it leaving me with a feeling of joy after the embers have been crossed.
