Magick is bursting with a rich cornucopia of fascinating symbolism; this is how our subconscious mind works, on a deeply intuitive level. The ability to engage with your intuitive side is how one interprets the various symbols our subconscious minds project; is an essential component of effective Spell Craft and successful divination. However, the successful recognition of these symbols is entirely up to you as an individual, it cannot be learnt through reading a book or trolling the internet. The reason I say this is that a butterfly to one person can signify a beautiful omen due to their personal experience and interaction with it. But to another a butterfly can signify something else entirely.
Work towards understanding your symbols, observe how they make you feel and write it all down. It will help to understand yourself a little better and will prove quite handy when performing divination rituals, talisman work, dream interpretation, and general spell craft to name but a few.
Note: This is not something you should rush or force, let it come to you naturally and make sure you are open to receiving.

Learning what symbols mean to you is one of the easiest things to adjust to. For example, the appearance of cat imagery (or real cats everywhere I go) means I’ve been ignoring the spirit world too much, while lots of butterflies mean that happy changes are coming. But if I dream about a dog, generally it’s a bad omen (not wolves or coyotes, but domestic pet dogs). It’s all personal symbolism.
Exactly, the wonderful world of symbolism is a deeply personal subject, one that is well worth exploring. Thanks for sharing some of your personal symbols.
