"Believe it can
be done. When you believe something can be done,
really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing
a solution paves the way to solution." ~ Dr.
David Schwartz

The swan is one of the oldest
and most powerful of all the animal symbols. In the Englishlanguage,
the word swan comes down unchanged from the Anglo-Saxon times.
They are found in mythology as traditional symbols of grace and
beauty. Swans were associated with the ancient gods and stories
often reflected their ability to link different worlds and dimensions.
A symbol of the beauty within, almost everyone has heard the
story of "The Ugly Ducking" which later transforms
into the beautiful adult. Many folklore stories involve swans
and attribute them with connections to the fairy realm.

The story of the swan song that originated in
Greece, states that a swan will sing the most beautiful melody
just before it dies. This relates to the long held belief that
the swan can teach us the mysteries of music and poetry. The
keynote of the swan as an animal totem is the awakening of true
beauty, sensitivity and the power of the self.
