The Dragonfly!
Did you know...
...that Dragonflies lay their eggs within their own territory near the water? Once they've hatched, the Dragonfly nymphs will live for nearly two years on the bottom of streams and ponds. As the nymphs reach adulthood something amazing happens. They completely transform! What were once tiny water dwelling creatures suddenly ascend into the air on wings that sparkle and glisten with a spectacular rainbow of colors! The Dragonfly's wings do this by bending, reflecting, and refracting light. No other insect or bird has the startling maneuverability of the dragonfly. Dragonflies can fly up to 30 mph, can twist, turn, move up, move down, fly backwards, and even change directions instantaneously, all while still being able spot movement 40 feet away!
Dragonfly Totem
The Animal Totem power of Dragonfly is its ability to see around things by looking at it from many different angles. Drawing from their unique ability to transform a sparkling array of colors by bending, reflecting, and refracting light, Dragonflies show that life, like light, can bend, shift, and adapt in so many different ways. It shows that life may not always be what it appears to be. The Dragonfly's magic shows us how to see through life's illusions and find true vision. It calls us to transform ourselves, our lives, to see beyond the norm, and then to find the compassion necessary to help ourselves and others.
