The butterfly is one of the most emblematic totem animals symbolizing personal transformation. If you see the butterfly as your totem or spirit animal, pay attention to the areas in your life or personality that are in need of profound change or transformation. Perhaps, this animal totem guides you to be sensitive to your personal cycles of expansion and growth, as well as the beauty of life’s continuous unfolding. An important message carried by the spirit of the butterfly is about the ability to go through important changes with grace and lightness.
Butterfly Symbolism
What is the meaning of the butterfly? This animal totem is primarily associated with symbolism of change and transformation.
Powerful transformation, metamorphosis in your life, personality
Moving through different life cycles
Renewal, rebirth
Lightness of being, playfulness
Elevation from earthly matters, tuning into emotional or spiritual
The world of the soul, the psyche
A secondary meaning of the butterfly is about finding joy in life and lightness of being.

This is a good reminder. When I think of where and how I was just a few years ago and compare that version of myself to where and how I am now, I can experience more gratitude for the tribulations that helped me get to better understand my true self. Granted, I’m still learning about myself and how to best navigate life, but I’m learning how to honor my true nature and see the beauty rather than focus on everything *wrong* or *bad* or *ugly*. I just “AM”. The more *myself* I Am, the more beautifully and gracefully I transform. The easier it gets. I enjoy life more and can be more present. My experience and how I see life is what transforms the more I understand what and who I Am.

When we went to a waterfall here in North Carolina over the weekend, this stunning butterfly was undeterred by the crowds around it. I watched as it fluttered around little mini-drops of water on the rock next to the flowing water, sunning itself and sharing its vibrant colors with us all.

Let’s all be like this butterfly. Let’s show our true, exquisite, vibrant colors boldly while we do the things that make our experiences in life more nourishing and fun!

Can you imagine what this view would have looked like 3 months ago? Dark shaded woods and green grass.

The “line_up“ is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The “liners” are made out of paper (Din A3/A4),
oil paint and graphite. The theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers.

Butterflies represent transformation. They evolve from a caterpillar into a beautiful, wondrous being - much like a woman finding her inner goddess; her personal power.

Bare trees shrouded in fog stand in a field of dried grass.
Just reading these words quickly creates a dreary and gloomy autumn vision.
But we haven't taken a teammate into account yet. A powerful player, the sun, which suddenly transforms this scene into a magical golden landscape.
There are often only a few aspects in life that turn a problem into a challenge or a setback into an opportunity for further development.
The difference is sometimes marginal (and is often just a matter of how we think about ourselves), but the effect it has on us is even greater.
The only question is whether we can see these small but crucial aspects, whether we even want to see them.
I too sometimes only manage to do this with some distance and sometimes not at all. But I have learned that every time I succeed, I take a big step forward.
This experience gives me the energy and conviction I need to at least try again and again.
Kahle Bäume in Nebel gehüllt stehen auf einem Feld aus vertrocknetem Gras.
Wenn man nur diese Worte liest entsteht ganz schnell eine triste und düstere Herbst Vision.
Doch da haben wir einen Mitspieler noch nicht mit einberechnet. Einen mächtigen Mitspieler, die Sonne, welche diese Szene mit einem mal in eine magisch goldene Landschaft verwandelt.
Häufig sind es auch im Leben nur wenige Aspekte, die ein Problem zu einer Herausforderung oder einen Rückschlag zu einer Chance zur Weiterentwicklung werden lassen.
Der Unterschied ist manchmal marginal (und liegt häufig nur darin begründet, wie wir über uns selbst denken), die Wirkung, die es in uns auslöst ist dafür um so größer.
Die Frage ist eben nur, ob wir diese kleinen aber entscheidenden Aspekte sehen können, ob wir sie überhaupt sehen wollen.
Auch mir gelingt dies manchmal nur mit etwas Abstand und manchmal auch garnicht. Doch ich habe gelernt, dass es mich jedes Mal, wenn es mir gelingt um einen großen Schritt nach vorne bewege.
Diese Erfahrung gibt mir die nötige Energie und Überzeugung es zumindest immer wieder zu versuchen.
