	Simurgh
		Initially a griffin-like (lion-bodied) bird, with a formidable beak containing sharp teeth, the Simurgh later assumed the shape of a true bird, one with glorious plumage and immense wings.
		The original home of the Simurgh was supposedly the fabled Tree of Knowledge, whose branches were festooned with the seeds of every plant that has ever existed.
		When the Simurgh took flight, it was said, its powerful ascent shook the tree's branches so violently that the seeds were scattered throughout the world, bringing a wealth of valuable plants to mankind.

		The meditation spontaneously stopped itself when the Simurgh told me who/what it was, and I just sort of 'filed the whole thing away', as an interesting inner experience with no direct outer correlation that I could see.
		I am familiar enough with Persian mythology to know that it was supposed to be a sort of 'amalgam bird' (Simurgh is from the Persian 'sen-murg', meaning '30 birds'), and that it was sometimes portrayed as having lion's paws instead of talons, plus it was also said to have the head of a dog.
		The original home of the Simurgh was supposedly the fabled Tree of Knowledge, whose branches were festooned with the seeds of every plant that has ever existed.

	The Bird Simurgh Takes the White-Haired Zal to Her Nest in the Mountains (From the Shahnama)
		The Simurgh swooped down from the clouds, thrust out her claws and lifted the babe from the torrid rock, then carried him to that point of the Alborz mountains where lay her eyrie and her brood.
		The attributes and the iconic elements of the simurgh’s physiognomy were well established in literary sources: it was large enough to carry human beings, held either in its strong beak or by its powerful talons; and had glorious plumage and flowing tail feathers which reflected the color of the spectrum of the divine.
		The painting transcends its ruled margin on all sides, and the simurgh’s tail is a rich profusion of orange and iridescent green feathers trailing behind her as she holds the infant Zal in her claws and ascends to her enormous nest at the top of the mountain.

	Mandaean Oral Traditions
		It happened one Sunday that the Simurgh came to visit Hirmiz Shah, who had prayed to his Lord that she might come, and had prepared a castle for her reception on a hill, which was set with trees and watered by clear rivers, and adorned with a garden.
		The Simurgh was astonished at the training of these birds and the cleverness with which they struck their wings together in unison, and, indeed, it was a strange thing.
