The butterfly is one of the most beautiful, unusual and graceful creatures on earth. And the most beautiful among insects. Since ancient times, people have treated butterflies with admiration and amazement. However, magicians and sorcerers are sure: they symbolize the rebirth of the soul.
In esotericism, the meaning of these insects is interpreted this way: after death, a person can be reminded of himself in the fragile body of a butterfly. It is not for nothing that according to ancient Slavic beliefs and legends, these insects were harbingers of death, of a person’s departure to another world.
Christians even depicted Jesus Christ with a butterfly in his hand - this insect goes through the stage of life, death and resurrection. The Japanese still believe that white winged beauties carry the souls of dead and sometimes living people. According to Asian legends, they are a symbol of fertility, spring and the sun, and in European mythology, these insects are magical fairies.
However, among some peoples, winged beauties still became a negative character in legends and myths.
For example, the Bulgarians believed that a witch was hidden in her body, who could take milk from cattle and this was the most harmless crime of such a butterfly-witch.
The most dangerous type of butterfly among different nations is considered to be the hawk moth - this insect has a skull on its back. This winged beauty is believed to symbolize doom, death, fear and evil. In some areas of France, it is believed that scales from the wings of hawk moths, if they get into the eye, can cause blindness and death.
Not only the symbols associated with butterflies are interpreted ambiguously, but also dreams about them. It would seem that if you dreamed of a butterfly, it definitely meant being kind. But is it really that simple?
