The Butterfly Angel

Quite often Angels and Fairies use butterflies to remind us of their presence, and to send signals and validations to guide us through life. In early depictions of the Goddess of Death during the Mycenaean period, ancient paintings depicted the goddess being accompanied by butterflies. Meanwhile, early Christian symbolism suggested that butterflies represented purified souls as they were hatched from a pupa, where that soul’s release symbolized freedom from material bonds and finding happiness in eternal life. Looks like I caught a magnificent Angel-butterfly as she extended her majestic fluid wings to me , and I was lucky to capture it!
