A little bit about the beautiful - and powerful - symbolism behind the Phoenix...
The Phoenix is a mystical and magical creature. The symbolism of the Phoenix can be found in the myths, fables, legends and religions of nearly all civilizations and indigenous cultures throughout the world. In Ancient Egypt, it is called the Benu bird; in India, Garuda; in China, Feng Huang; and in Japan, Ho-oo. In addition, the Phoenix is also an integral, and archetypal, symbol
used in Alchemy.
The Phoenix is a beautiful bird that enjoys an extremely long life span of 500 to 1,000 years. When its current life cycle is complete, the Phoenix sacrifices its current self through fire and renews itself three days later. Only one Phoenix can exist at any given time.
Its cycle of death and life is a constant reminder that our current incarnation is a path of expansion and growth. It is also a reminder that our journey is an infinite adventure in which we can decide, at any time, that our old self has completed its cycle of usefulness. Once we choose to leave our old self behind we simply need to follow the example of the Phoenix: immerse ourselves in the spiritual fire of sacrifice and transformation, and use the ashes of our old self to create the new person we are destined to become.
Such a stunning representation of strength and life anew!
