spiritualist sir arthur conan doyle, never known as a qualified observer of mediumistic phenomena, had a number of sittings with him and thought highly of his powers. however, phoenix was later demonstrated to have been a clever fraud. lord charles hope of the society for psychical research invited neville whymant, a professor of oriental literature and philosophy, to join him for a sitting with phoenix in glasgow and later in london. in the first glasgow sitting, the voice of an indian attempted to speak in a variety of persian. in the second sitting a conversation of real import was being worked up in italian but the control s power failed too soon. modern greek was also heard. the persian voice reappeared and was a little more explicit than on the previous occasion. finally, a chinese

mong the ancients a fabulous bird called the phoenix is described by early writers. in size and shape it resembles the eagle, but with certain differences. the body of the phoenix is one covered with glossy purple feathers, and the plumes in its tail are alternately blue and red. the head of the bird is light in color, and about its neck is a circlet of golden plumage. at the back of its back the phoenix has a crest of feathers of brilliant color. the phoenix, it is said, lives for 500 years, and at its death its body opens and the new born phoenix emerges. because of this symbolism, the phoenix is generally regarded as representing immortality and resurrection. the phoenix is one sign of the secret orders of the ancient world and of the initiate of those orders, for it was common to refer

isguised themselves as composite creatures, thereby symbolizing different aspects of human consciousness. they used birds and reptiles as emblems of their various deities, often creating forms of grotesque appearance and assigning to them imaginary traits, habits, and places of domicile, all of which were symbolic of certain spiritual and transcendental truths thus concealed from the profane. the phoenix made its nest of incense and flames. the unicorn had the body of a horse, the feet of an elephant, and the tail of a wild boar. the upper half of the centaur's body was human and the lower half equine. the pelican of the hermetists fed its young from its own breast, and to this bird were assigned other mysterious attributes which could have been true only allegorically. though regarded by

the birds which flew across the sky were regarded as thoughts of the deity. for this reason odin's two messenger ravens were called hugin and munin- thought and memory. among the greeks and romans, the eagle was the appointed bird of jupiter and consequently signified the swiftly moving forces of the demiurgus; hence it was looked upon as the mundane lord of the birds, in contradistinction to the phoenix, which was symbolic of the celestial ruler. the eagle typified the sun in its material phase and also the immutable demiurgic law beneath which all mortal creatures must bend. the eagle was also the hermetic symbol of sulphur, and signified the mysterious fire of scorpio- the most profoundly significant sign of the zodiac and the gate of the great mystery. being one of the three symbols of

agan mysteries which still existed in his day? both the peacock and the ibis were objects of veneration because they destroyed the poisonous reptiles which were popularly regarded as the emissaries of the infernal gods. because of the myriad of eyes in its tail feathers the peacock was accepted as the symbol of wisdom, and on account of its general appearance it was often confused with the fabled phoenix of the mysteries. there is a curious belief that the flesh of the peacock will not putrefy even though kept for a considerable time. as an outgrowth of this belief the peacock became the emblem of immortality, because the spiritual nature of man--like the flesh of this bird--is incorruptible. the egyptians paid divine honors to the ibis and it was a cardinal crime to kill one, even by acci

h mohammed drove the doves from the temple at mecca, occasionally he is depicted with a dove sitting upon his shoulder as the symbol of divine inspiration. in ancient times the effigies of doves were placed upon the heads of scepters to signify that those bearing them were overshadowed by divine prerogative. in medi val art, the dove frequently was pictured as an emblem of divine benediction. the phoenix clement, one of the ante-nic an fathers, describes, in the first century after christ, the peculiar nature and habits of the phoenix, in this wise "there is a certain bird which is called a phoenix. this is the only one of its kind and lives five hundred years. and when the time of its dissolution draws near that it must die, it builds itself a nest of frankincense, and myrrh, and other sp

it passes from the land of arabia into egypt, to the city called heliopolis. and, in open day, flying in the sight of all men, it places them on the altar of the sun, and having done this, hastens back to its former abode. the priests then inspect the registers of the dates, and find that it has returned exactly as the five hundredth year was completed" although admitting that he had not seen the phoenix bird (there being only one alive at a time, herodotus amplifies a bit the description given by clement "they tell a story of what this bird does which does not seem to me to be credible: that he comes all the way from arabia, and brings the parent bird, all plastered with myrrh, to the temple of the sun, and there buries the body. in order to bring him, they say, he first forms a ball of m

hollows out the ball, and puts his parent inside; after which he covers over the opening with fresh myrrh, and the ball is then of exactly the same weight as at first; so he brings it to egypt, plastered over as i have said, and deposits it in the temple of the sun. such is the story they tell of the doings of this bird" both herodotus and pliny noted the general resemblance in shape between the phoenix and the eagle, a point which the reader should carefully consider, for it is reasonably certain that the modern masonic eagle was originally a phoenix. the body of the phoenix is described as having been covered with glossy purple feathers, while its long tail feathers were alternately blue and red. its head was light in color and about its neck was a circlet of golden plumage. at the back

careful analysis of the seal discloses a mass of occult and masonic symbols, chief among them the so-called american eagle--a bird which benjamin franklin declared unworthy to be chosen as the emblem of a great, powerful, and progressive people. here again only the student of symbolism can see through the subterfuge and realize that the american eagle upon the great seal is but a conventionalized phoenix, a fact plainly discernible from an examination of the original seal. in his sketch of the history of the seal of the united states, gaillard hunt unwittingly brings forward much material to substantiate the belief that the original seal carried the phoenix bird on its obverse surface and the great pyramid of gizeh upon its reverse surface. in a colored sketch submitted as a design for the

nation of the original seal. in his sketch of the history of the seal of the united states, gaillard hunt unwittingly brings forward much material to substantiate the belief that the original seal carried the phoenix bird on its obverse surface and the great pyramid of gizeh upon its reverse surface. in a colored sketch submitted as a design for the great seal by william barton in 1782, an actual phoenix appears sitting upon a nest of flames. this itself demonstrates a tendency towards the use of this emblematic bird. click to enlarge phoenix or eagle, which? on the left is the bird's head from the first great seal of the united states (1782) and on the right the great seal of 1902. when the first great seal was actually cut, the bird represented upon it was very different from the eagle w
