In the ancient mythology the fiery bird Phoenix symbolizes renewal. The dying Phoenix turned into the fire, from which as a Young Phoenix starts to exist again.
In ancient Egypt and in Classical antiquity a fabulous bird was associated with the Sun. Firebird in Slavic mythology is a magic bird with glowing like fire feathers. The Phoenix-Firebird is a messenger of the divine will, because it has the ability to migrate between the world of the gods and the world of people.
It`s ability to reborn from the ashes is manifestation of general Indo-European idea of reincarnation.
The eternal rebirth of life is expressed by Vesica Piscis (a sacred symbol of creation of the Light that in the ancient art was used as a symbol of the womb and the birth).
