The butterfly was possibly chosen as the totem for elemental Air not merely because it is a creature that is constantly moving, always active, always shifting its position from one place to another, but because of its great transforming powers. For what was an unattractive crawling insect, slow-moving and vulnerable, turns into a most beautiful and delicate flying creature that weaves rainbow patterns in the air. Butterfly Clan people are always active - either physically, mentally or emotionally - with freash ideas and often unexpected ways of doing things. They are manipulative and like to transform things. Butterfly Clan people have an affinity with air, so they will be invigorated and stimulated by being out in big open spaces and away from any kind of confinement whenever possible.
