Ashes as well as the heavenward flight are included in this blend dedicated to the beautiful Phoenix of brilliant plumage.. Phoenix often chooses to be spirit guide for the human who has already gone through a cycle of ruin and resurrection. The Phoenix-guided human who has successfully navigated this pathway has the potential to be a healer and savior to others who face this challenge. In this way the light of the Phoenix is passed along across generations of humans.

The Phoenix is an ancient symbol which goes back to Phoenicia. There is a similar fire and sun bird from ancient Egypt, the Bennu, which very much resembles the Phoenix of Greek mythology. This bird lives for 500 years, and then builds a nest, which is also a funeral pyre, made of myrrh, frankincense and other spices, and burns itself. Then after three days, an egg or baby phoenix arises from the ashes to live again. A phoenix bird in Jewish legends, the Milcham, is much the same, but lives for 1,000 and so it might seem to herald every new millennia.

Phoenix oil is made in two sessions. The funeral pyre ingredients, including freshly-burned wood ashes, are put together at night on the Dark Moon, and the resurrection ingredients are added on the day of New Moon.
