Phoenix Necklace in 925 Silver and Blue Crystal

A powerful symbol for the human psyche is that of the Phoenix, (from the gr. foinix = purple red ) which represents the cycle of death-rebirth and the mystery of immortality. For alchemists it was one of the symbols of alchemical transmutation , for the first Christians it was the symbol of the resurrection of the flesh and of the figure of Jesus and in the transpersonal sphere it symbolizes the spiritual rebirth that occurs following the incineration of the false vision of the ego!

Anyone who chooses to embark on a path of personal evolution , as well as those who want to fully develop their noetic potential, must accept the idea of ​​a progressive transformation of their belief system. Personal growth always involves many deaths and rebirths, exactly like those experienced by the Phoenix. It is necessary to learn to question oneself (which is certainly not easy) and to let go of old concepts and habits, especially the most limiting and crystallized beliefs. A new breath of consciousness will thus be able to emerge and a brighter and more optimistic vision will be able to make room... This process is cyclical, in fact, periodically there are phases of crisis and questioning, in such a way that the cycle of purification and renewal can be repeated and refined!

The Phoenix and its power of transmutation

In the West, the symbolism of the Phoenix was transmitted to us by Greek writers ( especially Hesiod and Herodotus ) who referred to an astonishing animal present in Egypt called Bennu (from the "benu" = to shine, rise or fly), sacred to the city of Heliopolis (lit. "City of the Sun") and consecrated to Ra (God of the Sun). In some ancient traditions it is considered consecrated to Osiris.

Because it was thought to live in an oasis in the Arabian desert it was also called "Phoenix Arab". His song was so melodious that the God of the Sun stopped his boat to listen to him; only one specimen could exist and since it self-regenerated it was also considered a symbol of androgyny. Initially represented in Egypt as a heron , the Phoenix then assumed the image of an eagle in Greco-Latin culture; its color is red-purple and golden.

In many cultures there is a mythological animal analogous to the Phoenix; it is in fact present in Chinese myths (Feng-Huang: "Male-Female"/Tan Niao: "Bird of Cinnabar"), Indo-Buddhists (Garuda), Japanese (Ho-oo/Karura), Korean (Bonghwang), Persians ( Simurgh), Hebrew (Milcham/Hol/Ziz), Amerindian (Yel/Wakonda), Sumerian, Assyrian, Incan, Aztec and also Russian (Firebird).
