Moth Socks
Description: Moths are curious creatures, flying in a cloak of darkness, yet are attracted to bright light. Their presence can give mixed feelings of wonder and unease, as it is hard to know what their intention is. Their mysterious nature may make you wonder what they mean spiritually, and what it means when they visit you. Moths represent transformation, hidden knowledge, inner wisdom, psychic abilities, and shadow work. They are connected to the moon, feminine and yin energies, and intuitive discoveries. They show up to help you discover your hidden desires and awaken to your true self. If you are searching for a deeper meaning to your life, the light you are looking for is inside of you, not outside of you.
Description: The skull-like pattern and its fanciful associations with the supernatural and evil have fostered superstitious fears of Acherontia species, particularly Acherontia atropos, perhaps because it is the most widely known. The moths' sharp, mouse-like squeaking intensify the effect. Nor is this a new attitude: during the mid-19th century, entomologist Edward Newman, having earlier mentioned the mark on the thorax wrote: "However, let the cause of the noise be what it may, the effect is to produce the most superstitious feelings among the uneducated, by whom it is always regarded with feelings of awe and terror."
