Fire that ends, fire that begins — the cycle of death and rebirth.
In ancient myth, the phoenix was the bird that burned to ash only to rise again. Its flame was never destruction alone, but transformation into new life.
Rebirth, resilience, eternal renewal. The phoenix flame shows that endings are beginnings, and that what is lost can return in new form.
Phoenix Flame reminds us to trust the cycles of collapse and renewal in our own lives — knowing that fire clears the way for what is yet to come.
Light a candle. Watch the flame. Ask: What within me is ready to be released into ash, and what wishes to rise anew?
The phoenix endures because life is woven with fire — what falls away becomes the fuel for what will be.
