Did you enter a college or University? Got married? Changed your job? Moved to another town? Got a dog? There are so many changes come to your life! Enjoy them! Anything that happens is for the better. Don’t you doubt!
There is a symbol of the life changes that most of people consider also the symbol of joy and beauty.
Ask yourself what associations you have for a butterfly.
Maybe it is the beauty, happiness and affection as for Lena from Israel and Irina from Europe?
Maybe it is the joy, carelessness, summer and tickling as for Maria from Switzerland?
Maybe it is grace, rebirth and fragility as for Alexandra from Germany?
The Butterfly has been always thought of as the symbol of the Soul; immortality, rebirth and resurrection. Also, like the double-headed axe it is a symbol of the Great Goddess.
In the Celtic culture it is the symbol of the soul and fire
In the Chinese culture it symbolizes immortality, abundant leisure and joy.
In the Christian culture it is resurrection; its stages of development are life, death and resurrection. Sometimes it is shown in the hand of the Christ child.
In the Greek culture it is immortality, the soul, the psyche
In the North America the Butterfly is the art of transformation. It is the mind and the ability to change it.
Like a butterfly you are always at a certain stage in your life activities. It is the never-ending cycle of self-transformation.
At the Egg-stage… an idea is born.
The Larva stage is the point at which you decide to make your idea into a project.
At the Cocoon stage… you are developing you’re your project.
The final stage of transformation is the lat step that involves sharing the joy of your creation with the world.
Ask yourself where you are now. Maybe there is need for change in your life. This could be a possible need for freedom, for a vocation, or for a new job. You may believe that change is difficult. Yes... sometimes you need courage to get used to the changes. So, the symbol represents the courage too. There is a totally new world outside the cocoon, where the known realities of the chrysalis are no longer applicable. This new world demands that you use your new-found wings... and fly!
