The Sacred Bird
The traditional phoenix lived near a cold well, and every morning seemed to sing a song to welcome a new day. The song "Sun god" Greek "Apollo" listening to listen. He only thought there was one Phoenix at any one time. Phoenix youth collected ashes from its predecessor an egg made of bitter and deposited on the altar of God the sun in Heliopolis, the city of the sun. Phoenix lives in the morning dew, and no one has ever seen him. He will not kill anything or crush anything that touches him. When the Phoenix wound can renew itself, it is immortal and invincible and a symbol of Sophia's divinity. Phoenix is also a healer, because tears can heal wounds. Jewish folklore claims that phoenix was the only animal that did not dispose of the Garden of Eden with Adam.
The magic of ancient Egyptians with Phoenix arose from their own longing for eternity and eternal life. They named the bird Pino (or Pino), and was portrayed as a heron, with long legs and long white feathers on both sides of his head. The sons of either the crown of the god Osiris of Atif (white with ostrich feathers rising from both sides) or the sun god Ra disk. The holy bird of Heliopolis, bound by the sun, photographed his image to represent Ra. Thanks to the Phoenix of Egypt in the creation of the Nile, the first model of life appeared on rocks and isolated islands after the floods that generated the river. Her call is the cry that marked the beginning of time, the God of time, and therefore hours, days, nights, weeks, and months.
In Chinese mythology, Phoenix is known as Feng Huang (or Fung), the second most respected creature after the dragon. It is a symbol of high virtue, grace, strength and prosperity, representing the Ying-yang union. Described as containing cock beak, face of swallow, snake neck, goose breast, turtle back, back of the deer and fish tail - definitely unusual looking bird! Fenghuang feathers are colored by the five basic colors: black, white, red, green, yellow, representing the Confucian virtues of loyalty, honesty, fitness and justice.
Japanese Phoenix is named according to gender: Hou-Ou or Hoo-Oo - male and female Ou. It is similar to its Chinese counterparts, and is often depicted nesting in the paulownia tree. Appears only at the birth of a virtuous ruler, and marks the new age of falling from heaven to perform good deeds for people before returning home to await the birth of a new era. Some traditions claim that Hou-Ou only appears in times of peace and prosperity - in other words, very rarely!
Persian legends say of Huma, also known as "Paradise Bird". "Huma" is the Persian "wonderful bird". Being a very emotional bird, the shades of Homazza bring great wealth to anyone who touches it. If he bends on a person's head, even for a moment, he will become a king. Homa has the power to free the mind and break all restrictions so that the person is wise and considerate. They do not kill the food, choosing instead to feed on the carcass. Both sexes are contained in the body of the hema, with each joint wing and leg.
Another Arab mythological bird is Cinomolgus or Cinnamon, which builds the cinnamon nest at the top of the cinnamon tree. Just recently, cinnamon was very rare, and has been very sought after. People were throwing stones or stealing arrows in the nests of synomglas in an effort to remove cinnamon sticks when the poor bird began flying. Another story claims that the Arabs will distribute pieces of bulls or other monsters at the bottom of the nest. Sinomulgos, unable to resist such a delicious treat, turn over and carry the flesh to the nest. The weight of the meat would break the nest, leaving the cheerful Arabs to gather cinnamon sticks from the ground. This is why Cinomolgus began nesting in cinnamon trees away from human settlements and became very rare scenes.
The Avalerion is a very rare bird of Indian mythology - there is only one pair of these birds. Every sixty years produces two eggs. When the eggs hatch, the mother birds sink themselves. Legend is concerned ... unfortunately I could not find more information about these birds.
Russian folklore Zhar-Ptitsa is a glowing magical bird from a distant kingdom. Known as Firebird, its name means "bird heat", which is both a blessing and a curse to any captivating. A large bird with a crest of firecrackers and glowing eyes, Firebird feathers illuminate red, orange and yellow feathers, giving the illusion of fire. When removing the feathers continue to glow, one feather has the ability to illuminate a large room. Firebird has been the main element in many fairy tales, usually based on the quest to find a bird or a tail feather. The hero finds the badminton, and sets off to catch the birds - usually after the request of a parent or of the king. The hero begins his quest with the noble ideas about Firebird, but when his research becomes more difficult he begins to blame the bird for its problems. Many fairy tales use this quest to introduce countless fictional characters, many of whom are willing to help the hero catch the bird and return with him to his home.
There are other stories about Firebird. One of the most popular beliefs is that Firebird flies around giving hope to the desperate. Flying legends say Firebird's eyes sparkle and pearls drop from his beak. Farmers collect pearls that are traded. Some claim that Firebird Sufism spends his days flying around the king's castle, and knocks at night to eat the king's golden apples. The most popular legend of the Tsar, tired of Firebird, stealing golden apples, tells his three sons to arrest the bird. The Tsar's apple was very private, enabling all those who ate them young and strong. The children tried hard, but they could not catch Firebird Dodger. However, they approached her and seized a few tail feathers. Sadly, they returned the feathers to their father, who turned their disappointment into joy when he saw how the feathers lit the palace rooms.
They also have another sacred bird called phoenix which I myself have never seen, except in pictures. Indeed, it is very rare, even in Egypt, to come there only (according to the accounts of the people of Heliopolis) once in five hundred years, when the old phoenix dies. Their size and appearance, if they are like the pictures, are as follows: - Feathers are partly red, partly golden while the size and overall size is almost exactly of the eagle. They tell the story of what this bird is doing: it comes from the Arabian Peninsula, and the parent bird, all crammed with palmer, goes to the Temple of the Sun, where the body is buried. In order to bring it, as they say, is a first ball great over as far as finding that it can load; then comes out the ball and puts his parents at home, and then cover the opening fresh Palmrrh, then the ball is the same weight exactly at the beginning; Vokhrjha to Egypt, collage as I said and made him in the age of age This is the story that tells about the actions of this bird.
