Hi, There is something that has been happening to me most of my life. For some reason I have a connection with Dragonflies. It started when I was 13 I grew a fascination with them. Every time I'd see one I felt calm and comforted. I often take seeing one as a good omen. Some thing really weird happened in spring of 97/98. My back yard would be visited by dragonflies often. Some would let me come up close enough to touch them. One time while I was mowing I had an urge to look up. I saw dozens of Dragonflies in all different colors swarming around me. I had such a great feeling of joy from this event that a was down on my knees crying in joy. What does the Dragonfly represent in spiritualism? What do these experiences mean?

An alternative title for Japan was land of the dragonfly. I'll post links to some great dragonfly/damselfly references. Since I've been around more marshlands and kayaking, they come around all the time. http://www.huis.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~nomura/T/tombfaq.html Scroll down for Native American insect symbolism: http://www.buckagram.com/buck/symbols/ More general references and good books: http://www.dragonflydream.com/more.html It's a favorite of mine. I found some tarots with it: Hanged Man in Zernar Farber Tarot; Moon Garden has a suit of dragonflies; and an oracle called Symbolon has a dragonfly on one of it's cards.

The Native American symbolism/totem quality I am familiar with says the dragonfly brings one out of illusion and into truth.
