Butterfly spiritual meaning through history: Symbol of love or spirit of the dead

There are many beliefs surrounding this pretty insect. Firstly, it was a symbol of marital happiness and joy in China. Then, it was revered by the tribes of the American Southwest, plus, it was also linked to the marital domain, as traditionally, single girls wore their hair in the shape of butterfly wings to announce their availability. As for Native Americans, the butterfly is a symbol of change, joy, and color.

In contrast, in the ancient world, butterflies had a negative image because it was believed that they were the spirit of the dead. In Gnostic art, the angel of death is represented as crushing the animal with his feet. Furthermore, sailors who saw butterflies before embarking feared dying during a shipwreck.

Primary symbolism of the butterfly: Evolution

Before being the beautiful insect that we know, the butterfly goes through the unappealing caterpillar stage, which struggles to move forward, then transforms into a chrysalis to become the colorful animal you know. This is the very example of evolution, and that's why seeing butterflies is a sign of an important and necessary change in your life. You will have to go through a mutation similar to that of the butterfly. Maturity and inner peace await you!

Flight and freedom: The second meaning

After encouraging you to take a step back from your life, this little message tells you that it is time to spread your wings, to be freer, and stronger! Like this carefree animal, you can radiate, spread happiness around you and arm yourself against your own misfortune. Stop being a caterpillar that hides its inner beauty, seeing a butterfly means that it’s time to transform yourself!
