23:22 and I can see the moon from my bedroom window, far left. She has just appeared above the rooftops a beautiful orange sphere.

Bread dough is rising in the kitchen. I am going to leave it to rise over night and bake it tomorrow morning for breakfast.

Would love to stay and chat , but feeling very sleepy now.. can hardly keep my eyes open. Night night blogland , moon , MrTheFish and beings everywhere

peace zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Another visitor. I found him here on the kitchen window. I didn't see him arrive. I've opened the window and tried to help him get out , but it only seems to stress him out. Anway the window is still open .

butterfly totem message

Transmutation, Dance of Joy

The butterfly is the symbol of change, joy and colour.
It is the symbol of the soul.

They remind us that life is a dance,
not to take things quite so seriously.
They also remind us to get up and move.
Dance brings the sweetness of life.

Butterflies bring colour and joy to your life.
Look at them and remember what joy is in your life,
if its a lot or a little, it is still joy.

They teach us that growth and transformation does not have to be traumatic;
it can occur gently, sweetly, joyfully.

If a butterfly totem has shown up in your life,
make note of the most important issues in your life,
and see what needs to be changed.

The Butterfly

If you would like to see a specific animal totem featured here, please e-mail me with your request.
Some excerpts about the animals are quoted from Animal-speak by Ted Andrews. Thank you Ted.

Throughout history the butterfly has been admired for their delicate beauty. Most adult butterflies live just one or two weeks except for the monarch and angel wing which can live for six months or more. This is very symbolic. It suggests that a person with this medicine will experience tremendous soul growth in their earlier years. A difficult childhood is common. Life lessons are revealed to the consciousness while in the womb of the mother - the cocoon stage - and are completed when the caterpillar emerges into the butterfly and takes flight. Butterflies are symbols of freedom and creativity. They hold the gift of transformation and soul evolution.

Butterflies have a pair of large compound oval eyes made up of thousands of individual lenses. They can see a single image clearly and are able to perceive ultraviolet wavelengths of light. This suggests clairvoyant abilities for those that hold this totem.

The antennae of the butterfly has small knobs on each end which is said to play a role in orientation. When one antennae is missing the butterfly will fly in circles unable to find its way. Those with this medicine need to stay consciously connected to spirit at all times in order to arrive at their desired destination.

The butterfly represents the process of transformation and shape shifting. When butterfly shows up, make note of the most important issues confronting you at the moment. What state of change are you at in regard to them?

To the Native Americans the butterfly is a symbol of joy. They remind us not to take life so seriously. They feed on flowers that they help pollinate, thereby further spreading beauty. They represent the element of air, quickly changing and ever moving, so gracefully. Butterflies are messengers of the moment. They come in a variety of colors. To understand the message that the butterfly holds for you a study of its colors can be helpful.

Whenever an eco system is damaged, butterfly is usually the first to leave. They are especially sensitive to the harmony of earth. If butterfly comes to you in a hurt, trapped or ill way, you are being asked to stop disturbing the natural design of life and to flow with events in a more gentle, natural way.

All these lovely omens , the Tarot on Elk Island and now this omen I have got to believe them

YES

So I came home yesterday , baring groceries that included a big bag of natural goodness crisps ahem ... poured myself a G&T and plonked myself in front of the TV with a big bowl of afore mentioned crisps and proceeded to enjoy. It happened to be a film about the Apollo 8 moon voyage in 1968 ( !!! ) My activities tend to be loony

Anway, it was not long before I heard lively chatter coming from one of our shared balconies outside. I open the window... lean out and wave. They wave back. Mira .. come and join us ! Righty-o -- no sooner said than done .. mira grabs glass and heads for balcony and is introduced to Kjell, Robert and Whilhelm who friends of Rikard and Zacharias, my neighbours, who make full use of the shared balconies, especially when it is sunny.

*cheers* says I as I am offered a seat .... we all squeeze up , Zacharias on the steps.

It's a lovely evening. Almost cloudless. We chatter away , I am offered rosé wine when my glass becomes empty , and also introduced to R &Z 4 budgies and of course I have to then show off Mr TheFish , who has been in my care for a week now. ( The three visitors on tiny balcony  )

By 9:30 it is starting to get chilly , so the lads decide to move indoors and Finish lady from my floor appears and we are introduced. I am invited to join them , but by this time I've had enough of socialising , I need my dinner and a soak in the bath and a chat with the Lady Moon whom I can see from my south facing bedroom window. She starts off orange and turns into silver and seems to be doing the dance of the seven veils with a few passing clouds. Very soon after that I drift off into dreamland .. peace zzzzzzz
