Dragonflies

The dragonfly, in almost every part of the world, symbolises change and self-realisation- and the kind of change that has its source in mental and emotional maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life.

It is said that its flight and ability to move in every direction exudes a sense of power and poise - something that only comes with its maturity.

It's iridescence is said to symbolise the end of self-created illusions and a clear vision.

In Wales, the dragonfly is said to be a snake healer, following them around and stitching any wounds they may receive.
