The ancient Greeks, the transformation of Butterfly from pupa to adult
was a metaphor of the soul's resurrection and immortality. In fact, the
ancient Greek word for butterfly is a word which also means "soul" or
"mind."
Native Americans embroidered Butterflies onto their children's caps to bring sweet dreams.
Twin Realities: the world of dreams and the world of work. These worlds are likened to the opposing wings of a Butterfly: The dream world is one wing, and the awake world is the other. They believe the wings must connect at the Heart for the Butterfly to fly and live. Real life occurs because of the interaction of the wings. The Life is the Butterfly's Heart. Life, like the Butterfly's Heart, is kept alive by the two opposing, mirroring twinlike wings...
In certain areas of Ireland, people believe a white butterfly or moth is a soul on its way to paradise. If the wings are spotted, the soul must pay for its sins in purgatory but a pure soul will be all white.
