The story behind the name

Butterfly Symbolism

What is the meaning of the butterfly? This animal totem is primarily associated with symbolism of change and transformation.

• Powerful transformation, metamorphosis in your life, personality

• Moving through different life cycles

• Renewal, rebirth

• Lightness of being, playfulness

• Elevation from earthly matters, tuning into emotional or spiritual

• The world of the soul, the psyche What makes this creature so unique is that it transforms from one state into another. It starts out as larva, wraps itself in a cocoon, and eventually breaks free as a beautiful butterfly. The butterfly is a symbol of powerful transformations. By analogy to the development of this animal, the meaning associated with the butterfly emphasizes the ability to move from one state, perspective, lifestyle to another. When the butterfly comes into your life as spirit guide, you may be going through or expect important changes in your life. More than changes in your environment, the transformation the butterfly totem points to are more internal: They could be related to your own perspective on a subject, aspects of your personality, or personal habits. Personal transformation is emblematic of the butterfly symbolism.

Serene Beginnings: Calm, peaceful, and untroubled; tranquil. This is because I think that pregnancy and childbirth should be peaceful, instead of painful and stressful. The time after the baby is born should be peaceful and stress free, with as little distraction as possible, a time to cherish for the new family. Having a baby is amazing and awe inspiring and a miracle. How the baby goes from a sperm and egg to an infant! That is why I chose the butterfly, because it too, goes under such an amazing transformation!
