In most religious philosophies, the north or the top is considered to be the strongest & most empowered. Until correction occurs then realizing that the south or the deepest is the strongest & most empowered, in almost every aspect. Seeing the symbolism of the cardinals such as with the north & south like the phoenix & dragon, we could begin to see the differences. It is in nature that the serpent way is the most empowered than the avis way. Serpents are naturally larger when compared to the avis. We could see it with boa constrictors, pythons & finally anacondas. Wotan & the way of the universe decreed that the nature of serpents compels their way & it is their way that brings about the fairest karmic chances of survival compared to the outcomes of the avis phoenix whom is usually only utilized to conquer the extremist cowardist ways. Cowards must be dominated to prevent their consequences from affecting all others.

HAIL BALANCE & MOST THE SOUTH, THE DRAGON

The symbolism is like trees, the further out of the tree branches, the thinner & more frail the tree gets. Making it easily susceptible to being broken. While the further into the tree branches, the stronger & harder a tree will be; especially with the tree trunk.

Mountains are another example of this cardinal symbolism & philosophy. The closer you get to the base, the stronger the mountain is & the further out you get to the top, the thinner it gets. Making it easily susceptible to being broken by catastrophic causes.

Hence the meanings & symbolisms being tied to the phoenix & dragon. With the south being the bottom & deepest, like serpents live in the earth below. While the north being the top & highest outer limits, like the avis live in the skies. The further into the earth, the strongest & heavier. The further out of the earth, the lighter & weaker; but even the weak have a purpose in this universe. The meanings are more than symbolic when studying & analyzing the core nature of their representations such as the phoenix & the dragon.

THE BEST IS SAVED FOR LAST

The meanings & representations could be explained more profoundly, but for now it is a base understanding for all others to comprehend the statures of universal order with the phoenix & dragon being the most empowered as supreme beings.
