THE ROYAL PAGES OF THE KINGS COURT

THE PHOENIX

This mythical birb is the alchemical symbol of rebirth through fire. The phoenix, sometimes known as the firebird, sets itself on fire every 100 years, dies in the flames, and then rises again from the ashes. In medieval legend, the phoe- nix lives in Arabia but flies to Egypt, the home of alchemy, to undergo its ritual of death and regeneration. Here it cradles the all- powerful elements of fire and water under its wings.
