The incredible beauty of the
Swan 🥰

According to the legend about the creation of the world, which is considered to be the oldest found, that swans represent a combination of air and water...
Two elements that are necessary for the growth and development of seeds and vegetation...
This symbolizes life itself.

On the walls of Hindu temples, a couple of swans are depicted drinking the blossoming lotus of knowledge, thus sustaining themselves in life. They are a symbol of the perfect union to which all heavenly beings strive. Brahma himself, depicted riding a swan."

I love to see swans, and to watch them float slowly and gracefully.....
And I always remember the fairy tale The Ugly Duckling written by H. K. Andersen, which I read as a child.

It is special that they choose partners in the first year of life, when they are not yet sexually mature. And so they spend 3-4 years as engaged, and only then does the female lay eggs. They stay with that partner for the rest of their lives.

"In ancient Egypt, the swan was believed to take the souls of the deceased to the afterlife. Among the Celts, the swan is the deity of the Sun, mystical but benevolent. He is believed to have the healing power of the Sun and his song has magical powers."

"The old Slavs believed that the swan represented the soul of the ancestors and that it could have divine and demonic qualities. Fairies can turn into swans. "

There are many more about swans... But these were the most interesting to me....
I left out the legend about Zeus and Leda, because it is even more famous... (for those who know, Zeus turned into a swan so that Leda would fall in love with him)

"In the northern sky there is the Cygnus constellation of 6-7 bright stars, arranged along the neck and spread wings of swans."

I hope you enjoyed reading about the ranks, and that you will see these beautiful birds with different eyes.💕
