Combination

main shape

The main part of my symbol:
Shape of the body that shows many modes such as
1) Freedom
2) Health
3) Thinking beyond
4) Happiness

Wing symbols

1) Wings, often associated with birds, represent speed, elevation, freedom and aspiration.

2) Wings associated with angels are spiritual, symbolizing enlightenment, guidance and protection - to be taken under the wing - and inspirational.

3) Wings associated with butterflies, dragonflies, fairies, mythological winged creatures like dragons, griffins, and the winged-horse Pegasus, have an element of the magical about them. As in alchemy and magic, wings can be transformational, allowing an individual access to a previously unattainable state. The presence of wings allows the combination of different elements, earth and sky, wind and fire.

The haft sin

Haft Sîn (هفت سین) or the seven 'S's is a major tradition of Nowruz. The haft sin table includes seven items specific starting with the letter S or Sīn (س) in persian alphabet. The items symbolically correspond to seven creations and holy immortals protecting them. Originally called Haft Chin (هفت چین), the Haft Sin has evolved over time, but has kept its symbolism. Traditionally, families attempt to set as beautiful a Haft Sīn table as they can, as it is not only of traditional and spiritual value, but also noticed by visitors during Nowruzi visitations and is a reflection of their good taste.
The Haft Sin items are:
1)sabzeh - wheat, barley or lentil sprouts growing in a dish - symbolizing rebirth
2)samanu- a sweet pudding made from wheat germ- symbolizing affluence
3)senjed - the dried fruit of the oliester tree - symbolizing love
4)sīr - garlic - symbolizing medicine
5)sīb - apples- symbolizing beauty and health
6)somaq - sumac berries - symbolizing (the color of) sunrise
7)serkeh - vineger - symbolizing age and patience
Other items on the table may include:
Sonbol - hyacint(flower)
Sekkeh - Coins - representative of wealth
traditional Iranian pastries such as baghlava, toot, naan-nokhodchi
dried nuts, berries and raisins (Aajeel)
lit Candles(enlightenment and happiness)
a mirror(symbolizing cleanness)
decorated eggs, sometimes one for each member of the family (fertility)
a bowl of water with goldfish(life within life, and the sign of pisces which the sun is leaving)
a bowl of water with an orange in it (the earth floating in space)
rose water for its magical cleansing powers
a holy book (e.g., the Qur'an, Avesta, Bible, Torah, or kitab-i-aghdas,) and/or a poetry book (almost always either the shahnama or the Divan of hafez)
