Message From Butterfly Maiden:

“As you go, through this period of Change, it is natural for you to wonder if your future is safe. I am here to assure you that you are part of nature’s cycles of Birth, death, and rebirth. To bring in your desired newness, you must first allow old parts of your Life to fall way. These Changes are to be celebrated, not feared. Give thanks for this shedding of the old! Embrace all of the lessons it brought, and then let it go! Be giddy with excitement at the newness of the Gifts that are now being Bestowed upon you, and let their magic surprise and delight you.”

“The Butterfly Maiden”, is a Hopi Kachina that governs the Spring.

Kachinas’ are supernatural beings who control nature and have the spirits of living things such as animals and plants within them. Some Kachinas also hold the spirits of the non-living as well–wind, rain, thunder, lightning, clouds, etc. Although most Kachinas’ are not considered to be gods, Butterfly Maiden is believed to be a fertility Goddes who brings about transformation, new beginnings, and fresh starts in life.

She is often pictured as a young Native American woman dressed in and surrounded by butterflies. She lives within the plants, animals, and female ancestors who link the human with the Divine. It is said that She pollinated the world with our nighttime dreams, carrying the life force from Dreamtime into reality; in essence, She makes our dreams come true.

She is a creative force and a symbol of rebirth and regeneration.

In the Native American world, we find that each animal, plant, and insect is said to have energy and spirit. Their healing qualities are referred to as medicine. Because butterflies are deeply symbolic of our own unique struggle to grow, butterfly medicine represents transformation and our personal power to heal and transform ourselves.

The butterfly begins its life as an unappealing larva which one day goes into seclusion and emerges as a beautiful winged creature which spreads the rest of its life spreading beauty and joy as it flits from one flower to the next. And as we move through our daily lives which are filled with chaos and challenge, it would do well for us to remember that each of us has one of these beautiful winged creatures inside of us…just waiting to emerge from the darkness. And, like the butterfly, we need only to enter the stillness and solitude, to look within ourselves. There we will find this wise inner self waiting to transform us.

“CHANGE … is an Inside Job!”

 

“Butterflies have a complex social meaning to the Hopi people. They are a symbol of renewal and spring. Butterflies adorn Hopi basketry, textiles, pottery and jewelry. Butterflies are associated with much needed rain for growing corn and other crops. The butterfly dance, a social dance that occurs at the end of every summer, has spiritual significance. The dance is a prayer to bring rains and also is a community celebration in the gathering of dancers, singers, and families.”

Various Meanings of This Card: “Do not be concerned about endings, as they are bringing in the new for you. Your Prayers have been Answered. with this Change. Let go of the old. Do not worry about these Changes – they are truly for the best.
