butterfly

The many Celtic animal motifs are among the most recognizable elements seen in Irish artwork. The Celts of ancient Ireland utilized the symbolism of animals to make sense of the otherwise incomprehensible natural cycles of the Earth. They did this by calling up the unfathomable powers of these natural creatures and by using the symbolism of animals.

The symbolic meaning of the butterfly pendant is similar amongst many cultures throughout time. This delicate Celtic butterfly is a symbol transformation, inspiration, and rebirth. The rebirth is an important belief of the Celts both in the spiritual and physical realms.
