There is a Native American legend that says, "If you have a secret wish, capture a butterfly and whisper your wish to it. Since butterflies cannot speak, your secret is ever safe in their keeping. Release the butterfly, and it will carry your wish to the Great Spirit, who alone knows the thoughts of butterflies.” In Celtic beliefs, a woman wishing to get pregnant would swallow a butterfly soul. Whether you are wishing for a pregnancy or you have already swallowed the butterfly, it is no secret that a new life in the belly often feels like the fluttering of wings. Along with the butterflies, there are several symbols present in the painting. The gem suspended from the mother’s neck is the moonstone. Radiant with the light of the moon, it symbolizes rebirth, new beginnings, and wishing. Believed to benefit pregnancy, it is a feeling stone that helps aid in the changing cycles of our lives, bringing balance to our emotions and aiding us in calm reflection. The yellow of the mother’s blouse represents joy (as do butterflies), happiness, hope, and the dawn of a new day. I hope you enjoy the presence of butterflies and baby!
