“How does one become a butterfly? You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.” Trina Paulus

Floating, flying, fluttering art work fills the sky during warm seasons.  The Butterfly is one of Earth Mother Gaia's great treasures.  Wings in all shapes & sizes, all colors & patterns, soft & feathery.  From behind, many butterflies look at you with eyes of protection, upon their wings.

Their messages are powerful, sacred awakenings. Gentle as feather weights, yet strong, brilliant & captivating – Butterflies are one of alchemy, transformation, trust, surrender, intuition, initiation, guidance, creation, infinite time space, family…

The journey of butterfly starts with feet & a hungry, hungry appetite for life. Then butterfly must listen to its inner callings & intuition. Butterfly must begin to build a sacred temple of protection, regeneration & deep dreaming.

Yet butterfly is not yet Butterfly, just a caterpillar dreaming journey. As caterpillar has filled its hungry belly & finished its sacred temple space, now it is time for rest. The surrender into the deep sleep, liquid dreaming transformation; the Cosmic Ocean Womb of Love. The artform begins to take shape & find form in the awakening of a new dream.

This is a journey that must be completed by each individual Butterfly. The resistance & emergence from the cocoon, gifts Butterfly the strength it needs to soar & fly. This initiation of the Birthing Process, opens a new door. Butterfly now has wings of Light & Frequency. Butterfly can now soar, with a powerful Inner Compass & Guidance System.

Butterfly has sacred wisdom to share.  What gifts does Butterfly offer you?

The North East is a magical place to experience the gift of the Migrating Royalty. These golden orange, black & white beauties spend their winters in central Mexico. Beginning in spring, they start the new journey up, heading towards the East Coast, and up to Canada. It takes a Family effort for success. Three to four generations of Monarchs are birthed along the journey. Each generation is born bigger & stronger than the prior. The Monarch family line takes the spring & summer to fly all the way to Canada.

As summer comes to an end, the final generation of the Migrators are born - the biggest of them all, the Super Monarch. They fly the final & complete journey home. From Canada, over 3,000 miles back to the oyamel fir forests of Mexico; ending up in the same place their family lineage hung out in, the year prior, and the years prior to that. They continue the family journey, yet in their own unique way. Flying just the sky they choose.

This intuitive, magic guidance system of the Monarchs, is yet to be understood by science. How does Monarch know just where to go? The sun, perhaps magnetics or genetics… This is just the tip of the wings; the details & mysticism of their journey & abilities is phenomenal.

Enjoy the Monarchs and other pollinators, by having a Butterfly Bush ~ just beautiful. If you are local to Connecticut or New York, check out some of these Monarch activities & celebrations.
