Hey Smiler,

I am not familiar with the goddess Shea, maybe try different spellings...here is some info on butterfly symbolism, hope it helps. :smile:



Butterfly, Power Animal, Symbol of Change, The Soul, Creativity, Freedom, Joy and Colour

By Ina Woolcott

Native Americans see the butterfly as a symbol of joy. Feeding on the flowers they help pollinate, they further spread beauty. Butterflies eyes consist of thousands of individual lenses. This gives them the gift of being able to see a single image clearly. They can perceive ultraviolet wavelengths of light, suggesting clairvoyant abilities for those with Butterfly as power animal. The antennae of the butterfly has small knobs on each end which are said to aid orientation. If an antennae is missing the butterfly will fly in circles unable to find its way. If butterfly is your ally you need to remain consciously connected to spirit at all times so you may fulfil your goals.

Butterfly is the symbol of change, the soul, creativity, freedom, joy and colour. Their power is transformation, shape shifting and soul evolution. They represent the element of air, quickly changing and always on the move gracefully. Butterflies are messengers of the moment and come in a wide array of colours. Studying these colours can help you uncover butterflies message to you. It reminds us not to take things too seriously and to get up and move. They teach us that growth and transformation does not have to be a traumatic experience. It can be joyous. Butterflies possess the ability to grow and change, leaving the safety of their cocoon to discover a new world in a new form without fear, trusting their untested wings to fly without a doubt in their minds. They work through many important stages to become the beautiful creature they are. Similar to the butterfly, we too are always moving through different stages, each equally as vital. It is no good rushing to a particular stage, nor is it good getting stuck at a stage and becoming stagnant. Butterfly is a potent symbol for those considering, or in the throes of, a big change. Butterfly is also one of the most inspiring symbols of the animal world, knowing precisely the time to leave the comfort and limitation of its cocoon, flying freely into the world. Quite frequently, we are not so certain. The cocoon of our thoughts and fears may be limiting, they are also safe and familiar. We can become afraid of what may be outside of our limiting thoughts and belief systems, trapping us and holding us back from ourselves, from our dreams and desires, from our unlimited potential.



We can learn how to move on, how to grow from and improve a situation by finding out which stage we are at. This may be the egg stage, the beginning - where an idea is born and not yet reality. The larvae stage is when you physically get your idea going, usually involving preparation such as planning. The cocoon stage entails developing your ideas, project or talent. The ultimate stage of transformation is coming out of the chrysalis, the birth of the butterfly. This last stage is about sharing the colours and ecstasy of your creation with the rest of the world. Remember that we are always evolving, growing and that we are always at one of these stages. Figure out which stage you are at, whether you need more time to complete one stage before being ready going on to the next. Be careful not to rush, nor get stuck either.

Not all change feels deliberate, it can be very subtle. Such as losing a job and then circumstances pushing you in to a new direction. There may have been things going on within you, getting you ready for a change subconsciously, that you didn't even recognise. If you are feeling insecure and unsure of what is going on in your life right now, then look back over what has been going on in your life recently or even long ago. Have you ever wished that you had a different job? Of changing career? Are you able to see that on some level your wishes are coming true? I’m sure you will remember the good old saying 'be careful what you wish for..' What you focus on, is sure to manifest.

Butterfly can help you see that exiting the cocoon suddenly opens a new door, that there is power in trust and vulnerability. No more than you does a butterfly know whether it can fly, but it opens its wings in perfect confidence, and discovers that their delicacy allow its graceful flight, its dance in the air. When we understand that transformation can be as natural as breathing, when we take ourselves lightly, when we trust in our own untried wings to support us, we learn the message of Butterfly, life itself is a joyous dance. Dance brings us the sweetness of life.

The four stages of the butterflies growth are parallel to the development of our first forming a thought to manifesting it in the outer world. Understanding that change can be as natural as breathing. We mustn't be so hard on ourselves, trusting that our own untried wings will bear our weight. This is when we receive the Butterflies gift: life itself is extraordinary and amazing. If Butterfly has found you, take note of the most important issues in your life and see what needs to be changed.

If an eco system becomes damaged, butterfly is usually first to leave, as they are highly sensitive to the harmony of the earth. If butterfly finds you and is unwell, hurt or caught, this is an indication that you must stop disturbing the natural design of life and to flow with events in a more gentle and natural manner.

there was an Egyptian God called Shai who was God of fate and destiny, was also sometimes given the name Shait and depicted as a woman.

Hey smiler I am happy the info on butterfly spoke to you. :hug3: I was just wondering...you said you heard Sheer, maybe it is referring to the condition of which your spirit desires to work towards, to be sheer in appearance, to be clear, could the woman you saw be a reflection of your spirit...just a thought when I read your words. :smile:

[Enya]

Maybe it's a picture of 'She', the Divine Feminine...

Yes your research definitely makes sense ..I am reflecting and looking at it
seriously ..I am so grateful and appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me... I am not sure about the painting it keeps transforming I am drawn to pick up the paint brush .. Its gone from Eyptain looking to a definate Mayan or Aztec ..( which shocked me as I dream't a journey with a Mayan months ago when I had accidently taken the wrong pills ..( long story ..if I find where I wrote that dream I will post ). You see I was told I would die previously by a vision..and this happened months later ..upon ringing hospital when I realized the next day I was told the tablets should have killed me ( same container as my sleepers ).

I painted again last night .. drawn again and the painting is a now a woman ..Gold eyes ...( Ohhh I wish i had my camera working .. maybe i am not meant too ).

I'm not sure what is happening? .. I do know I am currently more peaceful myself .

Love and a smile

[QUOTE : Maybe it's a picture of 'She', the Divine Feminine...]

Can you please tell me more about the Divine Feminine .." She"

OMG I have a Birman cat ..His name is Sygh .. He never ever likes to cuddle ..as I am typing to you ..he has decided to come up for a cuddle ..his curled up near my lap as I type on the key board .. his face on the top of one hand ..his purring away happy. I picked him from 2 weeks of age his now 5 yrs old ..his name came in a dream too.

Whats happening ?

Love
:smile:

[nightowl]

Smiler,

I can't help but see you as that butterfly inside the cocoon, morphing and changing. A butterfly's formation in the cocoon is the most important time of its life, for if it doesn't form properly or tries to leave the cocoon to soon, it will not be strong enough to survive. I think it is cool that you are seeing the transformations happening in your painting. Don't force the cocoon to open...:smile:

[Smiler]

Sygh is stretched across my stomach .. his definitely cuddling ..lol lol..here is my last recent photo of him ..he is rather Royal Looking .

Smiler!

Could you be meaning Sheela NaGig? Sheela is crone Celtic goddess and is the protector of gateways, especially gateway (or events) within our lives. He has a very positive energy about her as well - she likes to celebrate.

A Butterfly could represent you going through a life change and that Sheela is with you at this point of time. :)

Hope this helps you!

AO,

I will have to look her up, my Celtic heritage is leading me to. Thanks for sharing about her.

No worries :) :) She has been appearing a lot lately in my readings with my Goddess oracle deck, and I saw this thread, and felt that I needed to share.

Possibly the Egyptian Sesheta?
