The Phoenix In The Desert Rising From Its Ashes
The Phoenix it is said lives 500 years
Knowing when its time to die
The bird returns to its place of birth
A nesting grounds in Arabia
Before its demise
It builds a nest of frankincense and myrrh
When the time is come
It enters and dies
Bursting into flames.
From its ashes
A new phoenix arises.
The Phoenix burst into flames
From its ashes arose
Andrea Angelicus.

Frankincense and myrrh are wonderful to burn, I like copal too.

Phoenix: part of a new medical spa treatment? It used to be โvampire facialsโ. But I guess celebrities will go to any lengths to stay young. I think the preservatives alone will keep them alive for another 450 years. โOh look, PayLo flaunts bikini bod on her 400th birthday.โ

Yes, I can see them using the Phoenix as part of a new medical spa treatment for the residents of Hollywood and Beverly Hills.

“This is 9-1-1. What’s your emergency please?”.

PayLo is on Twitter talking about how to do a ponytail. This is a woman in her 50s. Wow. Her legs are insured for $2billion so Iโm sure she can use the payout to buy a brand new body.

Most definitely.

Love the art and the story Chris. It has that mysterious eastern mythology feel brought back to modern times. I look forward to reading about the new Phoenix, which is an Easyern symbol of Yin energy.
Dracul Van Helsing said,

Yes, Andrea Angelicus is definitely Yin energy all right. ๐
