Strength, Courage, Vigilance

The Gryphin is symbolically significant for its domination of both the earth and sky - because of its lion’s body and eagle’s head and wings. For centuries, they have been iconic symbols of strength, courage and vigilance.

In some mythologies, the Gryphin represents the wealth of the sun; in others, for fiercely guarding priceless treasures. In ancient Greece, Apollo rode a Gryphin while guarding the gold of Hyperboreaus. What a perfect symbol for a financial planning organization!
