Butterfly Maiden

This is your daily card reading for Tuesday, June 17th/14.  Your card today was drawn from the 'Goddess Guidance' card deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is the 'Butterfly Maiden' card, and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"You are experiencing enormous change right now, which brings great blessings.
Message from Butterfly Maiden~
As you go through this period of change, it's natural for you to wonder if your future is safe. I'm here to assure you that you're part of nature's cycles of birth, death, and rebirth.  To bring in your desired newness, you must first allow old parts of your life to fall away.  These changes are to be celebrated, not feared.  Give thanks for this shedding of the old!  Embrace all of the lessons it brought, and then let it go!  Be giddy with excitement at the newness of the gifts that are now being bestowed upon you, and let their magic surprise and delight you...Your prayers have been answered with this change."

My message for you today is this:
The beautiful butterfly tray that the photo of your card was taken with today, was a gift to me from my Brazilian daughter-in-law's mother, Sonia, and I treasure it.  The entire tray is composed of butterfly wings that were gathered at a butterfly reserve in Brazil, only after the butterflies had died~she was determined that I know that fact when she gifted it to me!  
The Goddess who presented for you today, Butterfly Maiden, is a Hopi Native American Spirit.  Her gift to us is in assisting us to move forward in times of transformation, with ease and grace.  She understands that it takes effort and that there are moments of discomfort in unraveling our way out of the cocoon; and that it takes courage to then reveal our delicate wings to the world. Call upon Butterfly Maiden to support you and give you strength and understanding at transformative periods in your life.  Even when we have a KNOWING that we are to make certain changes in our lives---and even when we have prayed and asked for these changes---sometimes we are reluctant to leave the safety of the familiar.  Our Ego, which desires to keep us 'safe' and which discourages change, holds us back.  Butterfly Maiden will remind you of the blessings within the changes that you are encountering---so set aside your fears!  She will encourage and support you in spreading your wings and taking flight, which is what your Soul truly desires!  Allow yourself to soar!  It is time!
Blessed be...
