As with Greek and Egyptian culture, the Firebird is said to be a resident of the heavens. Russian folklore speaks of the Firebird as a symbol of rarity and magic. Indigenous Cultures have the Thunderbird and its symbol of power, strength and protection. Other Cultures in Which Mythological Birds Appear The Thunderbird Above Tsonoqua in the Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada There does seem to be a consensus amongst myths that the rebirth process is complete after three days. Yet another legend suggests that the phoenix loses many of its feathers on the journey to the mortal world and set itself on fire, only to be reborn. In this version of the story, the resurrection birth of the new bird would take place within three days. Once the phoenix reached earth, it would sing a final song so hauntingly beautiful that the charioteer responsible for the rising sun would stop to listen and a spark would fall from the sun to the earth, igniting the bird. The bird’s successor was born from the ashes.Īnother story suggests that the phoenix lived in Paradise amongst the gods and was therefore immortal, so it would have to fly down to earth to end its life cycle. According to one version of the phoenix myth, when the lone phoenix was ready to die, it would create a nest and spontaneously ignite on fire.
