How many of you have made a wish using a dead butterfly's wing ash? Have they ever come true? Is it real though? Before all this, lets dig into the history of this magical creature.
Many ancient civilizations believed that butterflies were symbols of the human soul. In some cultures it was believed that a new human soul was born each time an adult butterfly emerged from its cocoon; in other cultures, butterflies were also considered to be the souls of those who had passed away. Because of this belief that the human soul took the form of a butterfly, they were often viewed with great respect and sometimes with fear. The meaning varied from place to place . Northern Europeans thought that dreams were the result of the soul-butterfly's wanderings through other worlds.
The Meso-Americans have deeply incorporated the butterfly in their myths. In Aztec and Mayan mythology, the god of fire Xiutecutli is represented as a butterfly. Fire,
like the butterfly, is a symbol of transformation. The Goddess Iztpapalotl, the Obsidian Butterfly, stands for purification and rejuvenation by sacrifice. The powerful plumed
serpent god Quetzalcoatl is described as initially descending to earth in the form of a chrysalis, then painfully emerging into full light as a beautiful butterfly and a symbol of
perfection. In ancient Greek the word for butterfly is "Psyche", which translated means "soul". This was also the name for Eros' human lover and when the two figures are
depicted they are often surrounded by butterflies.
"Butterflies are souls of the dead waiting to pass through Purgatory. "They're thought to be able to cross into other realms and also represent transformation, creation,
and rebirth.

It was at the end of the storm,
When the night began to take form,
That the clouds cleared up,
And the stars showed up.
When the rain descended,
And the rainbow came and ended...
