Transforming Butterfly

The beautiful, delicate and slightly mysterious butterfly has been known since time began as a symbol of transformation, change and new directions, due to its impressive process of metamorphosis. Meso-American Indians and Asian religious cultures believed that the butterfly was closely tied to the idea of spirits or human souls searching for a new reincarnation. To the Aztec, the butterfly was a God of cosmic fire. To the Maori of the South Pacific, the butterfly was the bringer of dreams and a messenger of the great spirit. Celts in ancient Europe actually believed that women became pregnant by swallowing butterfly souls. Wearing a beautiful piece of butterfly jewelry will probably not make you pregnant, but it can serve as a symbol for a life change and new directions.
