Phoenix | Mystic Bird of Renewal
The concept of dying but being reborn into a new and more beautiful form is common throughout mythology, but arguably none are more famous for it than the mystical phoenix. The phoenix is said to be a magnificent bird full of purity who, every number of centuries, builds itself a funeral pyre before it catches fire and crumbles into ash. Yet from the ashes arises a new phoenix that fills the world with hope. A beautiful tale...but just where does it come from?
