What is the meaning of a butterfly?

Butterflies represent several different things. They are often used as a metaphor for spiritual transformation. Whether that be rebirth, growth, or change.

Their short life span also represents spiritual transformation and reiterates the saying “life is short”.

Butterflies are used to represent the Spring season, as the buds, trees, and flowers are coming back to life. This is also the season where butterflies most commonly start their life cycle.

Many people feel a connection, attachment or general liking to butterflies which makes them a wonderful focus for our month’s blog hop. These butterfly SVG files can be used for your sprint crafting!
