The symbolism of the Phoenix, like the mystical bird itself,
dies and is reborn across cultures and throughout time.
Ancient legend paints a picture of a magical bird, radiant and shimmering,
which lives for several hundred years before it dies by bursting into flames.
It is then reborn from the ashes, to start a new, long life.
So powerful is the symbolism
that it is a motif and image that is still used commonly today in popular culture and folklore.
The legendary phoenix is a large, grand bird, much like an eagle or peacock.
It is brilliantly coloured in reds, purples, and yellows, as it is associated
with the rising sun and fire.
Sometimes a nimbus will surround it,
illuminating it in the sky. Its eyes are blue and shine like sapphires.
It builds its own funeral pyre or nest, and ignites it with a single clap of its wings.
After death it rises gloriously from the ashes and flies away.
