Story Behind This Piece

"We are all butterflies and the world is our chrysalis."

The butterfly is one of the most emblematic totem animals symbolizing personal transformation. The metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly links the creature to ideas of new beginnings and liberation.

If you see the butterfly as your totem or spirit animal, pay attention to the areas in your life or personality that are in need of change or transformation. An important message carried by the spirit of the butterfly is about the ability to go through important changes with grace and lightness. A secondary meaning of the butterfly is about finding joy in life and lightness of being.

When the butterfly shows up in your life as a spirit animal or totem, it might indicate the need to look at a conflicting situation with more lightness and different perspectives. This power animal invites those who have a connection with it to bring joy and bliss into their lives.
