Huma Persian Symbols Charm

Huma, also Homa, is a mythical bird of Iranian-Persian legends and fables. While there are many legends about the creature, the one thing they all have in common is that the bird never lands on the ground, but instead lives its entire life, flying invisibly high above the ground. In the myths of Huma, the bird is said to be like a phoenix, devouring itself in fire every few hundred years, only to rise again from the ashes. The Huma bird is said to have both male and female natures in one body, with each nature having one wing and one leg. Huma is considered to be compassionate and the 'bird of good luck' as his shadow is considered auspicious.
