The phoenix is a sacred fire bird. It has been found in the mythologies of the Chinese, Greek, Persians, Egyptians, Romans and Phoenicians. Phoenix compositions represent freedom and new beginnings. The mythical bird has a 500-1000 year life cycle.
Mythology says that,”Just before it passes on, it builds a new nest then ignites. Once the bird has burned, a new bird comes out of the ashes. It reproduces itself, which represents strength and fresh starts. There are many different stories featuring the bird but the general themes include resurrection, immortality and the undying soul.”
