Phoenix

Rise Again

To the ashes, I fell, from the ashes I rise.

Fly far and wide; I have been advised.

My wounds have integrated and healed,

and now my past lessons will be my shield.

The mystical journey is long and true,

I’ll be courageous and wander through.

Wanderer’s Wisdom

Life has brought you to your knees, and you felt no choice but to dive into the safety and security of darkness. This is where you have stayed, but now it’s time to let the light in once more, to pull yourself up from the deep womb of love you have created. You are ready to break through the surface back into the world, back into believing, into loving, into creating and into being. The phoenix is allowing his undoing to be his becoming and so now the time is right for you to do the same. You need to rediscover the feelings of liberation, of flight and towering heights. You have been hibernating, licking your wounds but now it is time to rise again. There will be another part of your life where the deep cave of shadows will be your home again, but right now, it is the time in your cycle to venture out, climb mountains, cross oceans and be daring.

Take Action

Break free from old comforts. Time to use your renewed energy and ambition wisely. Time to start a new venture. Follow your soul’s purpose. It is the perfect moment to do something that scares you. We are cyclical beings, and though you will revisit this winter, it’s time to experience the summer. Ignite your dreams!

Phoenix Revealed

It is said this unique bird lived for hundreds of years before burning itself on a funeral pyre and rising from the ashes with renewed youth to live again. This embodiment of resurrection straddles civilizations from the Greek Phoenix, the Egyptian Bennu, The Native American Thunderbird, the Russian Firebird to the Chinese Fèng Huáng, and the Japanese Hō-ō.
