The Phoenix is a mythical bird that has been incorporated, over the history of humanity, into cultural stories and religions around the world.  The story is that 'When the Phoenix feels the end of her existence approaching, she builds a nest, sets it on fire, and is consumed by the flames. From the pile of ashes, a new Phoenix arises, renewed and powerful.

​

The Phoenix speaks to many themes (archetypes) including eternal life, death, resurrection, recovery, rebirth, renewal, fresh beginnings, self-regeneration, and healing. She symbolizes the eternal flame which be be faith, transformation, or will.  Continually morphing, she represents the idea that the end is only the beginning. 

​

The Phoenix can be a helpful symbol when you feel your need to regenerate any area of your life. This could be your health, relationship(s), a creative endeavor, your environment, your attitude, or the way you view the world.  At the heart of Phoenix symbolism and meaning is faith, and knowing that you can begin again. Like the Phoenix, one can navigate through difficult periods in life and come through them stronger and more resilient than ever.
