Symbolism and Meaning in Tarot
The butterfly, throughout ages and cultures is an inspirational metaphor
for complete metamorphosis. Because of its impressively intricate phases of
change as it transforms itself from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis and finally
to breathtakingly beautiful butterfly.
It's a long process to reach that kind of striking beauty, and that tells
a story about the evolution of the soul. In sometimes strained and
unquestionably odd phases, the human soul makes its progress in much the same
way as the butterfly. Just as the butterfly looks almost nothing like it does
when it was a caterpillar, the landscape of the human soul also goes through
the same kind of graduation in evolution.
Butterfly
symbolism in Tarot is the same as it is in natural symbolism. Here are some
symbolic suggestions that pertain to the butterfly:
Beauty
Cycles
Psyche
Delicate
Intuitive
Unfolding
Metamorphosis
Transformation
The butterfly also talks to us about impermanence and the consistently
forward momentum of life. All things grow, evolve and change. It's this
inevitable cycle of life the butterfly perfectly symbolizes.
When we think of the butterfly and the Tarot, our first inclination might
be to associate them with the suit of cups which represents dreamy, loving
aspects of the soul and psyche. However, we find butterflies fluttering in the
sword cards (in the standard Rider-Waite version).
There's explanation for this. As I discuss in the suit of swords, the
element of air is symbolic of thoughts and thinking. As the butterfly is a
creature of the air, their marriage with the suit of swords is a natural link.
When the butterflies fly into your awareness when reading the cards, it
will have a message of metamorphosing thoughts. In this perspective, butterfly
symbolism points to changing thoughts. Or butterflies my illustrate a great
change in thought wrought from a period of inner reflection and contemplation
Butterfly
in our Tarot readings will whisper messages like:
I
am taking an inside look at my thoughts and beliefs.
With purposeful intent, I am
changing my thoughts about things.
I am maturing in my
perspectives about life and my environment.
I am going through a period
of inner transformation which causes outer transformation.
