Encountering moths
You can encounter moths at home, outside the house, or in your dreams. Each one has extraordinary significance to it. Let’s glance at them one by one.

What does it mean when you see a moth in your home?

When you encounter a moth in your home, it represents faith and light. The moth is a creature that gets attracted towards the morning, and hence, when you see a moth in your home, consider your house is filled with positive energy.

When you see the moth drawn to your house, consider the universe is sending you the signals to focus on your life goals. As the moth goes through a transformation, it’s telling you to make changes in yourself to be the best version of yourself.

What does a moth tattoo symbolize?
Having a moth tattoo has a deep spiritual meaning. It means you are a seeker of light and knowledge. It also means you have a tendency to lose yourself in the pursuit of things you love. Moth tattoo is a symbol of transformation and regeneration. It could represent someone getting over the tough times in their past. Moth, especially Luna moth, are a symbol of resilience in the face of difficult times. It also outlines the ability of an individual to adapt to adverse situations with determination and success.

What is the spiritual significance of encountering a dead moth?
The dead moth symbolizes many things. It may be a sign from the universe that you must be extra determined when sticking with your choices. It also could mean that you have been drifting away from the things you believe in. Dead moth also could mean that you have been putting your guard down and being vulnerable around people, and you need to be careful dealing with others. It may be the warning signs from the energies of the universe that might be telling you to beware of your latest attraction or interests.

One must remember that moths have both positive and negative connotations when it comes to symbolism. Moth may underline your self-destructive behaviour, or it may highlight your intense thirst for knowledge and enlightenment.

Dreams have major significance in a seeker’s life. Since moths usually come out during nighttime, these nocturnal creatures are considered teachers and guides of the Dreamtime. They teach that night and daytime are Yin-Yangs of life. Even though moths come out during the night, they are drawn towards the light, which signifies their strong will for self-transformation.

In Celtic culture, the butterfly is considered a symbol of beauty and delicateness. On the other hand, moths are considered as a symbol of death and decay. In Scotland and Ireland, if a moth enters the home, it’s regarded as the harbinger of imminent death in the family. Hence, in both cultures, a moth fluttering around a candle is considered a bad omen.

In medieval times, during the European witch hunt, it was considered that the witches made moths with the help of the Devil himself. They thought tree spirits made that larva, and on certain occasions, they could crawl into the heads of human beings, killing them.

A spirit animal is a messenger or a teacher, which comes in a particular animal carrying a message from the higher powers, and has a very close relationship with the seeker. Many believe that the moth as a spirit animal brings the good news of light out of despair. And they genuinely believe that when one seeks the inner light, it makes them dance around it, just like a moth flies around a flame.
