This is my first year participating in the A to Z Challenge. The list of participants can be found here. Thanks to Arlee Bird and the co-hosts for hosting this awesome challenge. Check out the site here.
I’m also participating in a mini-hop that got started on theme reveal day when a few of us realized we had similar themes. It’s called Supernatural A to Z. Click below to check out the list of participants. 🙂
Today’s creature is the Phoenix. The term comes from ancient greek mythology. It is a bird that regenerates or is reborn. It is associated with Sun. The lore behind the bird is that it gains a new life from the ashes of its predecessor. It is known to have vibrant colors marking its body. The color usually associated with it is purple.

Good P choice. The Phoenix is all about hope and I hope to read more. Good luck with the A-Z!
Hi,
Thanks for stopping by. Yes, they are.
I’ve always liked the idea of the Pheonix and I like it even better now I know it’s associated with purple! 🙂

Purple is my favorite color. I loved it when I found out they were associated with the color. 🙂
The phoenix is a great legend and so useful as imagery as well, because it is so well recognised.

Yes, they are. If I remember correctly there’s one in the Harry Potter series.
Makes it eternal then.
It does. 🙂
A favorite creature of mine, I have a picture of one hanging on my wall.
As a child, I use to role play think kinda game. I use to be the hero 😉
Love using the Phoenix in my games/books.

Cool. There are great creatures.
Purple is the colour of Royalty. Fitting that it belongs to the Phoenix as well! 🙂
Wow. I didn’t know that. It’s my favorite color. 😉
Wonderful creature. Used as the symbol of my gaming guild when it was reborn. Also posted it in A to Z but under Finnish for the constellation Phoenix – http://rolandclarke.com/2014/04/07/f-is-for-feeniks/ -. and of course as Firebird is similar.
They are. Didn’t know about the constellation. Thank you for sharing that bit of info. 🙂
