Butterfly Wishes


"Just living is not enough," said the butterfly, "one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower." Hans Christian Andersen





















"If anyone desires a wish to come true they must first capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it. Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not reveal the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all. In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom, the Great Spirit always grants the wish. So, according to legend, by making a wish and giving the butterfly its freedom, the wish will be taken to the heavens and be granted."
Papago Tribe Legend

I found them so diverse, hence I learned to take note of the different symbols in the designs to differentiate the distinct culture of each tribal group. Many times, I committed error in matching them as it was admittedly confusing... which one was Itneg or Isneg, Itawes or Balangao... those are just a few. The ethnic groups are named generally after each Province: Benguet, Mt Province, Abra, Kalinga, Apayao, Ifugao. But the tribal groups in each province are many and diverse. Take Apayao for example, the geographical territory is inhabited not only by the Isnegs/Isnags, but also the Itawes, Aetas, and the Aggays. In Benguet, there are the Kankanaeys and Ibalois, also the Karaos, and the Kalanguya. Mountain Province, on the other hand has ...
