Symbolic Meaning of the Butterfly in Native American Indian Lore:
Represent change and transformation.
Butterflies can take one’s wishes up to the Great Spirit. Capture a butterfly, whisper your wish to it, and release it to the heavens. It is believed that all wishes will be granted in gratitude for the freedom of this delicate creature.
I love this quote:
Indians thought of Butterflies as Gemstones of the Gods, tossed from the Heavens to spread beauty. ~Author unknown
