Spirit helper, small and dear,
Has naught to worry, naught to fear
Her transformation ritual’s done
Now she can fly and face the sun.
She’ll catch your heart so you can see
How joyful change can really be!

Spirit Catcher's Story

By September the work of the Butterfly is complete. Butterfly is the original shape shifter who has transformed herself into the true beauty she was meant to be. She has laboured hard in the garden to provide herself with food. Along the way she has helped to pollinate the flowers. She has spread joy and beauty to those who marvel at her tireless toil.

Hers is no easy task for she is prey to birds who look upon her merely as a tasty morsel to satisfy their own needs. Although her life is short, it is never dull. She reminds us that life is 'wonder filled' as long as we are aware of the bounty that surrounds us and are willing to partake in that bounty. Her spirit strong, by September the magic she has woven and the hardships she has endured will insure the future of her kind.

The Chi

This Spirit Catcher brings a potent energy to the garden. It encourages the powers of transformation and faith to be ever present in this space. As a symbol for the soul, the Butterfly speaks of joy in all aspects of life. They remind us not to take ourselves so seriously but to become aware of the beauty of each moment as it unfolds in its own humble way. The only constant is change for no moment in time is quite like any other moment before or since.
