The Fire Phoenix and the Stars

One of the most mysterious myths of ancient Egypt was the legend of the Phoenix. Rundle Clark in explains the relationship of the bennu bird to the phoenix and the symbolism it was intended to invoke.

Clark: "One has to imagine a roost extending out from the deep of the Abyss. On it rests a herald (a grey heron) of all things to come. It opens its beak and breaks the quiet of the dawn with the call of life and destiny, which 'determines what is to be and what is not'...

The Phoenix, therefore, embodies the original the Word (or Logos) or declaration of destiny which mediates between the divine-mind and created things...In a sense, when the phoenix gave out the primeval call it initiated all those [calendrical] cycles, so it is the patron of all divisions of time, and its temple at Heliopolis became the centre of calendrical regulation."

The fact that shafts in both the kings chamber and queens chamber point to specific stars fixing their processional cycles confirms that the phoenix is closely related to the Great Pyramid. The Great pyramid served as the epoch time keeper of pharaonic kingship both mystical and historical.

The link, therefore, between the Great Pyramid and the phoenix is unmistakable. In the Book of the Dead (see chapter 17) the question is asked: "Who is he'? ..I am the great phoenix which is in Heliopolis. So the link connects the two as time keepers of the stars of Orion and the "soul" of the Osiris kings.

According to the interpretation of Rundle Clark, the phoenix was a great cosmic bird that came from a place called the Isle of fire. It was a a magical land and a place of everlasting light. It was from this place that gods were born and from this Isle of fire they were sent into this world.
