Dragonfly Medicine

Today I drew from my memory again my time in Missouri – the same time my mind was led to yesterday. What was amazing about my trip that year was when I got there, I was led to the farthest point I thought possible from all of the other campers. I looked at the hill that was going to be my new home for the next few days and thought it was nice enough. The splendor that really grabbed my attention was that the area I was guided to was filled with Dragonflies! I had not ever in my life seen so many Dragonflies fill the air at once. To be sure I wasn’t exaggerating my own experience, I took the time to see if they were everywhere else or just around me. They were only in the area I was about to temporarily claim as my home. What a Blessing!

Messages can come to us in many forms and the message of Dragonfly that day was very clear and present. It is a message of more than just Faerie – because they are an insect that resonates with the Fae and actively take care of both the Physical and Energetic planes. The medicine of Dragonfly encourages us to see our own beauty and the wonderful change it can bring to the world around you. It is similar to Butterfly in that it is a medicine of change but where as Butterfly is more about the metamorphosis of the self to its fullest potential, Dragonfly holds the vibration of creating change wherever it is you walk, or fly, so to speak.

They encourage us in their message when we see them to be the change we wish to see. They have the lives of the shortest spans yet have no trouble in accepting their gifts of flight and beauty. The change we feel when seeing something beautiful is quite potent. It is strong and desirable to maintain. Why we seek constantly for beautiful and inspiring things is not a secret. The vibration it causes in seeking and finding something we think is beautiful is inspiring and can be the springboard to our next growth spurt and change in and for a good way.

Remember to think of Dragonfly when you wish to see a change and the “how” is unknowable to you, if you wish to see Magic in your daily life and want to inspire the beautiful awakenings that can be found with that kind of Magic. Fae magic is subtle yet powerful and that is the kind of Magic and change Dragonfly carries with it. It carries the harmonies of creating Gold and Wealth in your grid if you only learn how to accept it. They create a change that is subtle yet impacting. It only takes a small grain of sand to make a Pearl.

Butterfly Medicine

I had to do some unexpected work today that kept me from getting to the FFG as soon as I would have liked. It isn’t to say that it was disagreeable work but, in all honesty, had everything to do with the message today.

I was finishing my lunch and had the momentary pleasure of seeing a butterfly dart across the front of my window. “Oh!” I thought, “Butterfly Medicine! I love Butterfly Medicine!” ;)

Butterfly is a creature that is not necessarily Fae. It does not, as in our definition, take care of the energy of both the Spiritual and Physical planes. Butterfly though carries a very important message that the Fae love to support and do so by giving Butterfly the nutrition it needs through the nectar in flowers and the leaves for it to eat when it is a young caterpillar.

Butterfly teaches us all to reach for our potential and how the growth and transformation in the middle can be truly magical. Think for just a moment the growth that a Butterfly goes through when it starts as a young caterpillar. It grows by eating and eating until it is time to change. We can learn so much from the process of Butterfly’s life by listening to its growth phase alone. It isn’t telling you to eat and eat until you are so full you cannot move, but to eat so you CAN grow and so you CAN transform. – to fill yourselves and your lives with things you can grow and be nurtured from. This is not only in food but in friends, family, and environment.

The rest of Butterfly’s growth is done in a space we cannot see. It is truly a room that is secretive and silent, no views and nothing from the outside world is aloud in until the full and total growth process and the transformation has been completed. And what a change too! Nothing is as completely wonderful in its total change as Butterfly. Not only is it a completely different form, but it has a new identity, has new strengths, new abilities, and… wings that are often times so breath taking, we haven’t any choice but to stop and stare with marvel and wonderment.

How wonderful a message that is – to grow and TRANSFORM into such a state of beauty that you are literally breathtaking and stop the world in its tracks. This is not true just for Butterfly , but for all of us. We have to choose to grow, to seek our potential and to STRIVE for it, knowing that the work in the middle is well-worth the change and utter beauty at the end. Butterfly can be sought after when you are looking to see where your potential may be. We all have a wonderful light to share with ourselves and the world. The truth in Butterfly Medicine is that it doesn’t just stop there but it has the potential to only keep getting better.
