I love spending hours walking along the water, observing dragonflies. They glide through the air with ease, resembling mini-drones or helicopters, seemingly keeping an eye on everything around them. The dragonfly is not only a beautiful creature but also a powerful spiritual symbol.
As a shamanic spirit animal, the dragonfly embodies an image of our soul. It reminds us that we are capable of moving freely and lightly through the various levels of life. Similar to the dragonfly, we fly between worlds, between the visible and the invisible.
And here is the story of the Dragonfly spirit animal:
In a world where nature was still full of magic and secrets, there lived a goddess revered by all. Her name was Frigg, and she ruled over marriage and family. But one day, she fell ill with a disease that nearly took her life. Desperate and alone, she turned to the being that always protected her: the dragonfly spirit animal.
The dragonfly spirit animal was known for its dexterity, agility, and speed, but also for its wisdom and intelligence. Frigg believed in the power of the dragonfly and followed its advice to be healed. The dragonfly told her that she could only be healed in the mysterious spring in the forest, so Frigg set out on her journey.
On her journey through the forest, Frigg encountered many challenges, but thanks to her strong will and her faith in the power of the dragonfly, she finally managed to reach the secret spring. There she drank three times from the clear, healing water and immediately felt strengthened and freed from her illness.
Grateful for the help of her spirit animal, Frigg decided to honor the dragonfly and make it her symbol. From then on, the dragonfly was considered the symbol of dexterity, agility, and protection, and Frigg ruled her kingdom with wisdom and justice.
