In traditional Chinese and ancient Greek cultures, the butterfly is the symbol of immortality. In ancient Greek cultures the butterfly was the symbol of the eternal soul. In fact, in Greek mythology, Psyche, a princess raised to the rank of goddess, is represent the form of a winged girl morphed butterfly.To the Aztecs the butterfly symbolized the soul or breath exhaled by the dying. A butterfly fluttering among flowers represented soldiers killed on the battlefield. A Kasai (central Zaire) fable explains that the life cycle of the butterfly mirrors human life: an infant is a small caterpillar; an adult is a large caterpillar; in old age and death, a human becomes a chrysalis. The soul then emerges from the grave like a cocoon and flies away in the form of a butterfly to be reincarnated. Australian aborigines regarded butterflies as souls returning from the afterlife. In Christianity, the butterfly symbolizes the resurrection of Christ and of believers and is seen especially around Easter celebrations and Christian funerals.In Homer's "Odyssey", amber is described as a priceless gift. It has been found set in silver in ancient Celtic burial sites. It is believed to restore the stomach, kidneys, and spleen. In healing, the golden color is warm and cheerful, thus soothing to the spirits. It brings a sense of renewal, and recharged energy. Silver is one of the precious metals that has an ancient association with protection, purification, and communication with the divine. The ancients equated the polished reflection symbolically associated to the internal reflection of the soul.
