Yes, there is a real Halcyon! I’m Halcyon Blake, founder and president of Halcyon Yarn. Halcyon is a family name - it was my grandmother’s and my aunt’s name as well. The origins of the name Halcyon and the term “Halcyon Days” are found in Greek mythology. Halcyon was the wife of Ceyx who drowned at sea. Grief stricken the widow threw herself into the sea after him. The gods took pity on them and transformed Halcyon and her drowned husband into kingfisher birds. Together they made their nest upon the water during the brief period of calm surrounding the Winter Solstice. These few days of calm winds and gentle seas are known as the “Halcyon Days” and the kingfisher is their symbol - we’ve adopted this colorful bird as our symbol too! Category:
