The Swan of Apollo; The swan signifies the soul just like the hawk or falcon, and Apollo’s soul passed into the swan upon his death. I think this is farrago of the symbolism of the sun sacrificing itself to nurture life in this realm, similar to the Pelican signifying Christ in the Rosicrucian symbolism.
I also suspect the swan, a marine bird, is another way to depict the stork, or pelasgos, and so seeing it on a coin of Argos, it could indicate the navigators (The Holy Sailors) that so much of my work has focused on. Much more on the other side, so subscribe to access it. If you’re interested in the Dioi Pelasgoi, or the Holy Sailors, dive into Book V (click image).
