Symbols represented:
Tree of life Dynamic life force and wisdom, unifier of all creation. The Tree of Life forms the axis connecting the underworld, the earth, and the heavens.
Butterfly An ancient symbol of immortality: life (crawling caterpillar), death (mysterious chrysalis), and rebirth (freely flying soul). The Butterfly emphasizes the importance of constant change and the need to enjoy the Present Moment.
The elk Symbolizes clarity of thought, purity of aspiration, rebirth, and renewal. The elk is a giver of knowledge and wisdom from the paths of distant ancestors, who takes joy in knowing and sharing knowledge and in close relationships.
