MEANING: In Native American Shamanism, Dragonfly medicine is of the dream time and the illusionary facade we accept as physical reality. Dragonfly’s shifting of color, energy, form and movement explodes into the mind of the observer, bringing hints of memory of a time when magic reigned. Some legends say that Dragonfly was once Dragon. Dragon was full of wisdom and flew through the night bringing light with its fiery breath that brought forth magic and the illusion of changing form. Then Coyote was able to trick Dragon into changing form to Dragonfly and Dragon got caught in its own facade and lost his power. Dragonfly is the essence of the winds of change, and change in the perspective of self realization; and the kind of change that has its source in mental and emotional maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life. It brings messages of wisdom and enlightenment and communications from the elemental world. Dragonfly medicine beckons you to seek out the parts of your habits which you need to change. If you feel the need for change, call on Dragonfly to guide you through the mists of illusion to the pathway of transformation.
