Phoenix❤❤☼ღ(◕‿◕。

Phoenix
The phoenix has been written about many times over this I do
know...But since it is such a fabulous bird in the Ancient legends,
Middle East and may have its origins in the Egyptian Bennu Bird, I thought I would add the Grand and Powerful Bird to my Collection of Magick Creatures. 
I found in my research on the Phoenix it is also can be spelled, "Fenix." It is described I found in a few different  ways depending on what country you maybe to be in. For the Greeks, the Phoenix is described as looking somewhat like a pheasant in the shape, but larger than an eagle. Its plumage is mostly a
reddish - purple color. The Phoenix being purple with gold around its neck too. 
Other accounts of the Grand Phoenix appearances say that it was purple and gold, red and Blue. This magnificent bird was said to be very rare, that no two birds of its kind would be alive at the same time.
It is said that the Phoenix the very first phoenix ~ came to us in the year 485-425B.C from a Greek writer Herodotus who related that as one bird died after 500 years of life, another would take it to the temple of the sun at Heliopolis for burial. I've have always found the Phoenix to be very fascinating. I hope

this history of the Phoenix is for you my Readers too! In continuing to the history of the Phoenix there were many other versions of the  origins of the Grand Bird;
1) Ovid and Pliny in 43BC - AD77 believed that the living Phoenix
constructed a nest of spices, upon which it incinerated itself. 
From this the new re-birth phoenix emerges from the sorted maggot, when they finally developed to the progeny the bird took form from the ashes of the former bird in the nest to Heliopolis. 
2) An even later version of the birth death and re-birth of the Phoenix states that it will construct its nest of spices and sang to the
sun god who filled the nest with fire. Which consuming the bird. From the ashes a entirely mature adult Phoenix emerges from the ashes taking the ashes of the altar at Heliopolis. 

The final version that I could find were actually 2- The Phoenix was adopted into the symbolism of the resurrection of Christ - A
symbol of immortality. The Phoenix was also well established in the ecclesiastical repertoire and commentaries were made by Tacitus in AD 100 and Aelian AD 200. These all had now achieved a vastly stronger and larger Phoenix - Vast in size and much more luxurious in his coloring together with an estimated much longer life span  more than four solar years combined . Of course this is all different opinions ~ of the Grandest bird ever born in my opinion.

You the Readers of my blog have to decide your own opinion on what you think about this subject and the Phoenix. I hope that Ihave given you enough to think about it. And again I thank you all for reading my blog and coming tovisited all of you all over the world Wendy..

Ningyo Japanese Mermaid~
In the Japanese folklore they are called the Mermaid - Ningyo.
Unlike the European and Westerns who call them Mermaids. They are also a different kinda of creature in Japaneses culture compared to the European and Western Culture  too. In Japan the Ningyo is depicted as being an enormous fish but, with the head of a beautiful woman. Plus she is benevolent and very protective towards humans. They warn humans against misfortune on land and in the oceans and seas. They do not entice them into danger like her occidental counterparts. Note: These different folklore's are all up to a matter of opinion. I've just written the different cultures, myths, legends and folklore of the different counties. 
The Traditional Mermaids are often seen sitting on rocks on the
edge of the ocean seashore. They are usually singing and enticing curious sailors to come closer to the dangerous rocks near the oceans shores. It is this singing that allies them to the sirens, luring sailors to their doom. Even the ancient accounts as well as the more modern ones, the appearance of these creatures will conjunction with misfortune and disaster.
Although there are a few regions - Scotland, Wales and Cornwall in
England where the Mermaid has been kind and benevolent towards humans when they have rescue humans from the oceans and give humans their great knowledge in herbal cures for fatal sickness, others have given humans rich gifts in gemstones and warned them of terrible storms that are coming. 
It is also been heard of that a few of these Mermaids will marry a human. Their children will often have webbed feet and fingers. Yet these marriages never last very long. The mermaid usually will return to their watery world of the sea, where their men are called mermen. 
There are some stories during the medieval period in Europe that considered the mermaid to be an  agent of the devil and a symbol of deceit, but I don't believe in that at  myself personally so I am not going to go further on that subject.
I have found that there is a rich history and tradition in folktales, songs and culture around the world with the Mermaid-
These places are such as;
The Bonito Maidens of the Solomon islands
The Saivo-Neita and Havfrue of Scandinavia
The Nakinneito of Finland
The Nakinein of Estonia
The Imanja & Jamaina from Brazil 
The Margygr of Greenland 
Ningyo of Japan.
I hope you Enjoy the legend of the Ningyo Japanese Mermaid
Love you all my dear Friends and Followers! Your Wendy!

It was an Early November 4 an I happened to be looking out my sliding glass window when I heard my Rosy [My Red-throat
a hummingbird that I've had living on my porch for the last 6years] making lots of sounds. I was amazed at what I was, so I just had to share with you all my readers. I  have had my Rosy a male Red-Throat hummingbird live on my porch for the last 6years and has been quite territorial over my porch area. I never knew how much until today! When I looked outside my partly opened sliding glass door. When I looked outside, it was amazing to watch these two males ~ I'm guessing Male Red-throat's another like Rosy flying around in ways know other birds could ever do and at the same time making this sound like they were talking to each other in their own language. This is my guess. That my Rosy is telling the other male to take a hike or else!  It lasted about almost 3mins between the two tiny hummers. They would dive bomb up and down very fast within and 1/2 inch I would guess between them. Although it could be even closer. Dive bombing with each at the sidewalk then all the way up to the feeders -facing each other with their beaks almost touching. Still moving their tiny wings very fast, it was as if they were having a heated argument about who was the boss of the porch area - food, and the female hummingbird that I saw in the tree close by watching all of this. It was so amazing to see these tiny birds still in flight yet moving very fast at the same time - beak to beak making this sound that only these types of hummers can make. They kept at it in front of the feeder for at least a 1min. Then after that, they kept up all over the porch area zooming fast speed to the right to the left to the sidewalk then up to the feeders then they would stay stationary for a bit and like talk again ~ Like who is going to be the boss or king of the porch! They even looked like they were fighting with each other, I have never seen such a thing but then again it is the survival of the animal kingdom. I couldn't even tell which one was my Rosy. 
They even looked like they were fighting with each other. I have never seen such a thing but, then again I stayed and watched till they finished because I was concerned if one of the hummers might get hurt. But thankfully after watching them from inside my apt. It seemed that the hummers were coming to an end to their I guess conquest for the porch. 
I watched one quickly fly away for now - And the other flew to a branch that was quite close to the porch. I opened the sliding glass door slowly so I could get a better look, but didn't want to open the door for he might fly away. He was calm but his feathers were quite buff out and he seemed to be breathing very hard. But he had his domain back. 
And it's been like that ever since. I have since found out my friend that it was, in fact, my  Rosy that did win the battle. We have since then had many chats. I hope that you all enjoy my Monday morning and I hope you're all have a lovely day and enjoy life and the nature around you.  
Wendy ~ Rosy
