Peacocks have long been symbols of spirituality. These beautiful peafowl have captivated people for millennia and over multiple continents. Originally from India, the Peacock traveled along the Silk Road, after Alexander the Great conquered west India and brought peacocks back to Macedonia. He was reportedly fascinated by them. The Persians and Indians saw the peacock as a symbol of royalty, using the feathers to fan down the royal family on exceptionally hot days. Even the Christian Byzantines had their own symbolism of the peacock. To them, the annual shedding of the feathers represented the death and rebirth of Christ.

However the ancients viewed the peacock, these iridescent feathers are captivating even without knowing about their historic lure.
