The belief was that in order for it to be reborn, it had to conceal itself in the food or drink of a woman, and after the woman consumed her meal the butterfly would impregnate her and soon be reborn as a human. They believed that each butterfly had its own soul. Butterflies were a very religious symbol in the Celtic Society.
