The ancient Greeks and Egyptians described a 𝐦𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐝 called the 𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐱, a magnificent creature that was a 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐥, 𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡, 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧.
According to a legend, the Phoenix is a one-of-a-kind bird that lives for 500 years. When it is nearing the end of its life, it makes a nest for itself. The nest is made with aromatic plants, such as myrrh, cassia, sage, frankincense, and cinnamon. The phoenix then strikes his beak against a rock, which sparks flames. Then, he flaps his wings like a bellows, setting his nest and then itself on fire.
The magic of the phoenix is that as soon as it perishes in the flames, it is reborn in its nest. Thus, as the saying goes, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐱 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬.
