In this episode of Uprooted, we soar into the mystical world of Iran’s most sacred birds: the elusive Huma and the legendary Simurgh. Revered in Persian mythology, the Huma is said to grant fortune and unseen blessings to those it touches, while the Simurgh—a giant, wise, and immortal bird—embodies divine knowledge and healing. We explore centuries-old myths, local traditions, and the enduring spiritual symbolism these birds hold, uncovering why they have captivated the imagination of Iranians for millennia. Join us as we trace the flight of these mystical creatures through legend, art, and folklore, discovering a world where birds are more than creatures—they are messengers of the divine. ———— Know more.
