Phoenix

The phoenix is the legendary bird that sacrificed itself to fire and rose renewed from its ashes. Legends and myths contain common threads that link them to the phoenix. The hero lives a long life, and the phoenix appears either just before or after his death.

Through death, the hero is able to live again.

With its gold and red feathers, its pheasant like head and long plumage, the phoenix stirs the body and soul. In chinese mythology, the plumage is a blending of five colors that have a sweet sound, creating a harmony of five notes. In egypt, it was linked to the worship of the sun god Ra. Even in christianity, it is a symbol of the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Traditionally, there is only one phoenix alive at a time, and its lives for five hundred years. It lays a golden egg and rises with the flames. It is an ancient symbol of the sun and of resurrection, life after death. It reflects the immortal soul, love, eternal youth, and even self sufficiency.

It is one of the few fantastic creatures that can be fun to seek. The best time is when the early morning sun is at its peak or when the last of the evening sun can be seen. Spring and autumn are the best times to encounter it. Myrrh is a fragrance that draws it. If encountered, you can expect rebirth within your life. It will always be dynamic and beneficial. It signals a time of new life, energy, and a new beginning.
