I identify myself with the methodology bird known as Fenix, cause it represents the birth, the renewal and the life cycles, the restart and the hope.

I learned more about these creatures when we moved up north. They like to live under your the roof, but are not seen. They can be nice or really ugly depending on how you treat them. At Christmas you should think of them and provide a bowl of milk rice (traditional danish desert). They symbolise the atmosphere and spirit of your family/house. Even when you move, they come with you (nisser flytter med). I think it is very wise, you take all your joys and problems with you wherever you go. Besides children love them, nisser may annoy grown ups around Christmas, because that is fun!

If I had to choose a guardian figure, as a Christian, I would definitely choose the Guardian Angel.
I was raised believing that  this protective figure exists and seeks to guide people on their life journeys.
I believe that in many moments of our lives our calls are answered promptly, through the signs we receive from our Guardian Angel!
All we have to do is believe!

As far I am concerned, I truly, from the bottom of my hearth, believe that guardian angels exist.
They are guiding us, giving us messages and advice how to get through rough and difficult times in our lives.
When we pray to angels, they will always listen to us and follow us every step of the way.
The Bible mentions the three archangels; Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. They also play a huge role in our existence. They are divine creatures that God has sent us to give us strength and wisdom whatever we might face in our every day life.
We all have four guardian angels, we might not see them, but they are there, even now when I am writing this post.

Adamastor: It is one of the mythological giants children of Earth, who rebelled against Jupiter and were defeated. This mythological figure is widely portrayed in the Portuguese epic poem entitled: Os Lusíadas by the poet Luís Vaz de Camões - 16th century.

The Adamastor represents, in a grandiose and moving figuration, the forces of nature, their opposition to the audacity of the Portuguese navigators commanded by Vasco da Gama in the discovery of the maritime route to India.

Adamastor has not only the role of reinforcing the positivism of the voyage, but also of emphasizing the superhuman achievements of Portuguese navigators. Enhancing the courage of the Hero, individual or collective, who faces, despite fear, challenges superior to the power of man.

Finally, he is the personification of fear, but also of the courage we have to have to face the adversities we encounter in our daily lives.

JOHANNA: Otso-The king of the forest (a bear)

# data[].attributes.body
In Finnish mythology Otso, metsän kuningas (the king of the forest), and mesikämmen (honeypalm) are some of the many rarely uttered circumlocutory epithets for the spirit that was never directly named. Generally, the spirit of the bear was referred to as friend, brother, uncle, or forestcousin, or ways were thought up that would bypass the need to refer to the spirit at all, even indirectly.

Some sub-traditions considered the bear to be a relative who had fled the community and been transmogrified by the power of the forest.

If I had a mytic figure I will choose phenix bird, not because of its immortality but cause it regenerates or born again.
Sometimes it's how I feel... I have to reborn,somehow, and get new strengths for some obstacles and challenges in my everyday life.

A dragon came into my life with a surprise.
I was on a creative writing seminar. Our task was to make a print painting, then to write a story for it. As I started writing - I had a human in my head. But as the story flowed through my pen onto the paper - my human turned to be a young dragon, which took me by surprise!
Since then dragons started appearing in my life and urged me to get to know them a little bit better: water and fire, harmony and destruction, power and wisdom - fascinating contradictions!
Here is one of the dragons that inhabits my house:

Horses are one of my favourite animals.
When I was a child I always asked my parents to give me a horse but we were living in a flat and that just wasn't possible.
I now live in the countryside and among other animals there's Mimosa, my mare.
So, I choose for my patron Pegasus, the winged horse, creator of fountains and wings. Represents spiritual creativity and symbolizes poetic inspiration.

Bicho-papão is an imaginary being from Portuguese children's mythologies. It is the embodiment of fear.
It is a monstrous-looking being or animal that eats children. It is always on the prowl and is attracted to disobedient children.
It is used by parents to scare and prevent children from disobeying.
All of their representations are associated with the harm that can happen to children if they distance themselves or contradict their parents.

There are no pictures or vídeos available as they exist only in the imagination of children.
