The Bastet (Egyptian Cat-Goddesses) were sometimes portrayed with wings.\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=bastet&btnG=Google+Search\n\nAnd then there are gryphons, which are half eagle and half lion.  They are also sometimes portrayed with lizard tails or lizard-like facial features.\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=gryphon&btnG=Search\n\nSphinxes are creatures portrayed with the body of a lion, head of a human, wings of an eagle, and the tail of a bull.\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=sphinx&btnG=Search\n\nAnd here's an interesting cryptozoology page on winged cats.\nhttp://messybeast.com/winged-cats.htm

I think you're referring to Norse mythology, which was sort of a religion.  Here's a link to give you a good bit of info.

I've seen a tree represent it (with branches) and a triangle (to show checks and balances).  \n\nThis has to be an opinion question, I've never heard of a symbol representing the three branches of govt.\n\n(Maybe the Eagle that has the arrows in its talons -- I think there are three arrows -- maybe that's what you mean.)

In ancient Egyptian mythology and in myths derived from it, the phoenix is a mythical sacred firebird.\n\nSaid to live for 500, 1461 or for 12594 years (depending on the source), the phoenix is a male bird with beautiful gold and red plumage. At the end of its life-cycle the phoenix builds itself a nest of cinnamon twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix arises. The new phoenix embalms the ashes of the old phoenix in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in Heliopolis ("the city of the sun" in Greek), located in Egypt. The bird was also said to regenerate when hurt or wounded by a foe, thus being almost immortal and invincible — a symbol of fire and divinity.\n\nOriginally, the phoenix was identified by the Egyptians as a stork or heron-like bird called a benu, (see Bennu), known from the Book of the Dead and other Egyptian texts as one of the sacred symbols of worship at Heliopolis, closely associated with the rising sun and the Egyptian sun-god Ra.\nOne inspiration that has been suggested for the Egyptian phoenix is a specific bird species of East Africa. This bird nests on salt flats that are too hot for its eggs or chicks to survive; it builds a mound several inches tall and large enough to support its egg, which it lays in that marginally cooler location. The convection currents around these mounds resembles the turbulence of a flame.

The article below tells quite a few symbols. It's pretty well-written. You have to go down a few paragraphs before it starts listing the symbolism in more detail.

Here's the true answer.\n\nCats were the devil's animal in folk belief and were thought to have power over good and evil.  This power extended to control over the weather.  Superstitious people believed that if a cat washed it face then that meant that it was going to rain.  If seen clawing or leaping - that meant gales.\n\nOdin was a Viking god and his attendant was a dog, which symbolized the wind.

We got a Maine Coon cat who we named Harryhausen. His father's name was Hal Bop, which I thought was a cool name for a cat. Harryhausen is the greatest - provokes astonishment from guests, is gigantic, peaceable, with a quiet meow. I had an Angora once and he was the most obnoxious bloody cat on the planet with a very irritating meow. Manx cats look kinda cool, but I don't know much about them. Ditto, Persian.

There's not terribly much out there on the web.  This is what I could find:\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=chibcha+%28religion%2C+god%2C+goddess%2C+myth%2C+mythology%2C+folklore%2C+folktales%29&btnG=Search\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=muisca+%28religion%2C+god%2C+goddess%2C+myth%2C+mythology%2C+folklore%2C+folktales%29&btnG=Search\n\nThis book is out-of-print, but there seems to be one used available on Amazon: \n"Some folk-tales of the Chibcha Nation" by Malbone W Graham\n\nThere are more (also out-of-print) books listed at Amazon if you search for "Chibcha" or "Muisca," but they are all in Spanish.

What does a cat symbolize?  Cunning, sneaky, carnivore, what?  Cats were worshiped in ancient Egypt, but I wonder if that wasn't because they kept the rats out of the granary.  Anyway, think about what cats symbolize to you.\n\nNow, as to the idea that your father won't help you, perhaps in fact he will not help you with the problem the cats symbolize.  Could you be representing male admirers with the cats?  You know, like "cool cats," as in jazz slang?  If that is the case, then your unconscious mind undoubtedly believes your father will not help you with regard to men.  That is, you are facing a grown-up question and you have to answer it yourself.  Papa won't make everything right and safe and easy for you on this topic.

It is kind of a three-legged crow which has been a part of the mythology of many countries, including Egypt and China. In Japan it is called Yatagarasu and it is the bird of the sun goddess Amaterasu.\n\nThanks for bringing that up, I had never thought about it!

the "who so beareth this sign about him, all spirits shall do him homage" symbol on page 153 of The Complete Book of Magic & Witchcraft by Kathryn Paulsen is but one of a pair of symbols called the "Seales of the Earth", required to summon spirits... listed just before chapter eight in Reginald Scott's The Discoverie of Witchcraft, London, 1655.\n\nhttp://www.esotericarchives.com/solomon/scot16.htm
