Magical day today!
This morning we went to witness a friend releasing her newest hatched Monarch Butterfly from the ... nest?
It was girl, of course, and she stayed for ages on the flowers then went into the apple tree. Girl Monarchs do not have a black dot on the orange part of the lower wings. Boys do. Girls are rare.
Then we took a wonderful long mountain hike, 3 of us, and went all over. Finally, 5 hours later we are walking back towards my house. Across town, and we spot a butterfly. Yep. It is our little girl! WHAT are the odds I ask ya, of seeing the same butterfly in another part of town??? I would think pretty high! Pretty rare. Pretty magical.
We don't have Monarchs up here. I've never seen one before. It was the girl we set free this morning...
So the meaning of butterfly?
Transmutation
Dance of JOY!
Symbol of change. Symbol of the soul.
