BUTTERFLIES AS OMENS & THEIR MEANINGS
According to the Old Ways, if any butterflies accidentally cross your path, a divine omen of transformation & change is presented to you, for good or for ill. Prophets of the Old Relifion used to ‘translate’ butterflies, as signals of heavenly intervention & upcoming change - the question is, what kind of omen is this? Moreover, ancient Greeks & Druids believed that sometimes, the butterfly is a disguised human soul, wandering around in a different form & travelling to other realms. Hence, persistent sights of butterflies might be a sign that the dead are trying to speak to you or that a deceased love one is trying to contact you. Here is some insight when it comes to butterflies as omens, & their colours & meanings when you spot them.
