The swan is one of the oldest and most powerful of all the animal symbols. In the English language, 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.it.
