The butterfly is associated with trips between the worlds in search of knowledge, crossing borders and with the experiences of unconsciousness that enrich us.
“Among the ancients, the butterfly was the emblem of soul and of the unconscious attraction towards the luminous, symbol of rebirth. A butterfly is a symbol of total transformation, and represents the need for change and greater freedom, and at the same time courage.
A butterfly goes from crawling on the ground to touching the sky blue sky with a sensation of lightness. In short, it could be about the very meaning of human life; after all, we all struggle to be butterflies.
The butterfly is a symbol of the “sidhe” and represents a metamorphosis, a metaphorical transition of the spirits that wait to be reborn, to die in the other world to be born in this one in a perpetual exchange. These spirits, who have to return to our world, used to be represented as fairies riding butterflies, to remind us of the symbolism of this transformative aspect.
It is the symbol of total transformation, it represents the need for change and greater freedom and at the same time courage.
In ancient times the amazing transformation of the butterfly was believed to be similar to the journey of the soul from an earthly body to a spiritual body. It is a symbol of immortality, rebirth and resurrection. For a white butterfly to enter your house in spring or summer means that your luck is going to change for the better.
In Greek his name is psyche like soul. The psyche was thought to fly out of the mouth of the dier like a butterfly. In the dream it is an announcement of good luck and prosperity.
The butterfly symbolizes lightness, inconstancy, and recklessness. But in the butterfly there is also another symbol and it is that of its transformation from a disgusting caterpillar to a beautiful and light butterfly, which symbolizes the soul, death and rebirth in a higher form.
The passing away of the human body is identical to what happens when a butterfly emerges from its cocoon. The cocoon can be compared to the human body, but it is not identical to your real self, it is just the house where you live for a while. To die is to move from one house to another much more beautiful. An emerging butterfly.
Life is a walk through a physical dimension in which we share perceptions, sensations and emotions that are stored in each of the cells of our bodies and our souls and that are transmuted into learning and therefore into personal and spiritual growth.
