GCCB06 Phoenix Rebirth

The mythological bird called the phoenix (also known as the Garuda or Sunbird) is said to have been the only living creature that was allowed to fly into Paradise The phoenix is a legendary immortal bird that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again. Originating in Greek mythology, it has analogues in many cultures, such as Egyptian and Persian mythology. Associated with the Sun, a phoenix obtains new life by rising from the ashes of its predecessor. Some legends say it dies in a show of flames and combustion, while others say that it simply burns to death and decomposes before being born again.Fionn uisce: The word phoenix in this name is not related to the mythical fire bird. It comes from the old Irish words fionn uisce, which mean clear water.A phoenix rising spiritually represents personal transformation, profound inner death of an old identity, and subsequent rebirth into a higher state of consciousness, the eternal cycle of time and existence, symbolising the importance of old endings and new beginnings, with the extra element of starting each rebirth at a higher level.
