This runs parallel to the Egyptian notion that the Goddess Maat weighs the hearts of the newly dead and only those with a conscience unburdened by guilt and sin may pass into the afterlife. The Gnostics thought of it as a representation of a purified soul. In pre-Biblical Christianity, butterflies represent an early form of earthly things. Indeed, we think you will find that the relatively diaphanous nature of butterflies, their lightness, their being subject to the dictates of the wind, make them similar in character to a spirit, or spiritual things. Many researchers believe that the butterfly in these images represents the return of a soul to the world of the living. For them, the Goddess of the dead, Despoina, is often accompanied by a butterfly. However, the Mycenaean culture took quite an interest in them. There are no mentions of butterflies in the Bible and Egyptian art contains them only rarely.

Purple is generally thought of as a royal color, and it is, but it is also associated with divinity, wisdom, and the intellect as it applies to higher ideals. For example, the color green often indicates purity of intention, a kind of raw magnanimity, and is associated with the heart. Colors, however, it should be said, have a number of less well known meanings. The various colors of butterflies, you will find, have more or less the same and similar meanings to the colors themselves, which at the surface level are very intuitive. Here, we will take a closer look at 11 of the most admired and symbolic butterfly colors and find out what they mean. Like the moth, which has a number of symbolic meanings – many of which are rather dark, the butterfly holds a special place in the occult, in folklore, and in esoteric philosophy. Butterfly sanctuaries are wondrous places to see when they are full of the flying insects, and they are tourist hot spots. The famous Italian opera, Madam Butterfly, is a tale of unrequited love. But perhaps the greatest exception is the butterfly. A few exceptions include the ladybug, the dragonfly, and many colorful species of moth. Many insects are considered ugly and unpleasant.
