There's just something about butterflies that captures the human imagination ... their colour, their delicate stuttering flight, their transformation from caterpillar...
The butterfly's capacity for change, transformation and growth have made it an obvious subject of magical folklore and legend in many cultures. Since ancient times, the fluttering butterfly has been seen as a symbol for the human soul. The Egyptians believed that they were just one of the ways the human soul was immortalised, and Aristotle referred to them as 'psyche', the Greek word for soul. In various Native American mythology, butterflies also symbolize the human spirit. Some tribes believe that the butterfly is able to take wishes up to the "Great Spirit". Others believe that butterflies can be an omen that something of significance will soon occur in one's life - a symbol for personal growth and spiritual rebirth.
