Simorg: (noun)
Known as a benevolent, mythical bird in Persian mythology and often associated with the Greek, mythological bird, called the Phoenix.
Pheonix Rising
In early Persian text, the Simorg was depicted as a mixture of peacock, griffon and lion and symbolized the union of heaven and earth. Its feathers were known to heal deep wounds with no more than a touch, as well as purify the land and water, bringing fertility with medicine and rebirth. The Simorg was said to reside in the all-healing tree of knowledge. Simorg was most famously described in the book, The Conference of the Birds. It is a figurative story of a group of birds that embark on a long journey to find their God. At the end of this arduous journey, the birds reach their destination only to find a mirror. Author and poet, Farid ud-Din Attar, intended to leave his readers with the moral that we are continually shaping the world around us as a result of conscious and unconscious thoughts. Reality is but a mirror reflecting on your inner world.
Naissance Rebirth
Throughout time, wild and powerful birds have been used as symbols of transcendence and liberation from the human condition into a better and more empowering one. They also symbolize the ambition to attain superhuman strength or a transpersonal reality in the form of flight. Our flock is a representation of a collective unconscious underpinned by universal tendencies that precipitate reactions as an individual and the evolution of those reactions with heightened awareness. This work exemplifies the need to let part of the self (which is dependent on pride and ego) go and join together in love for a higher purpose.
