Why Seek Counseling?

The Griffon

The Gryffon (also spelled griffin, griffon, etc) is a mythological creature uniting the feminine watery powers represented by the eagle with the fiery masculine powers of the lion. The Gryffon symbol reminds us of the harmonious balance achieved by consciously containing the opposites. We move toward wholeness by being aware that we are both positive and negative, masculine and feminine, light and shadow.

The Gryffon from Ancient Crete guards the Throne Room of Knossos (location of the

mythological Minotaur and Labyrinth). As guardian of the Throne-symbolic seat of consciousness-the Gryffon is a powerful therapeutic ally.

This symbol, like many others from the ancient world, acts as a formula that we can examine, unpack and understand, thereby unfolding its wisdom to enrich our own lives.

The Eagle, long associated in the Western Mystery Traditions with the element of Water, is combined with the image of the Lion. The Lion, symbol of the Astrological Sign of Leo, has been a traditional symbol for the element of Fire.

By uniting the Alchemical symbols of

we reveal the six rayed star, a symbol of balanced and equilibrated energies and the wholeness of the soul.

This blending of elements reflects the potent balance and harmony of combination of opposites.
