Thank you for this video. It is wonderfully done, and has great significance for me. I lost my fiancee in 2000 and have seemingly ever since always been surrounded by moths. When I met my now-wife in 2006, she continuously mentioned how she always notices moths close, around, or on me. She then mentioned that it might perhaps be my fiancee (who passed in 2000), sending me messages from the other side. Since then, I have survived multiple, severe or potentially fatal accidents and incidents - so much so, that everyone now believes I have a guardian angel, who as it happens, appeared to me for the first at her funeral! I hope all of this made sense. Thanks again for this lovely video and the fond memories. God bless!

Aw it does sound like you've got a special affinity with moths. And if they're looking after you, then all the better!

I hope for an answer for this. I have white or albino one that landed on my back screen yesterday. I asked it to leave and thumped the screen but it did not move. I had a dream that it was trying to get in. Today it was on the inside of the screen. I moved the screen so it could fly out but it tucked itself in a space between the screen and sliding door. I know its trying to give me a message I am just not sure exactly what. I do not believe it is related to death.

White moths are traditionally seen as being bringers of good news and positivity so hopefully you've had some good news since then!

My father died in 1994 and my house was infested with white and brown moths for what seemed to be about a year after...I always connected the moths with his passing but never realized there was actual folklore about it...I now have no doubt that there was a spiritual phenomenon going on...

Could well be! It's surprising that it would go on so long, but white and brown moths aren't seen as anything negative.

Ah moths can also be super awkward where they manage to squeeze themselves into! But also white moths are nearly always seen as being bringers of good news or something positive, so I wouldn't worry. I'm sure it'll fly away of its own accord :)

When I got into an argument and lost my claddaugh I was so upset about it I didn't realize (in wahu) that there was a giant moth above the perimeter of the door of a friend's how's and I made a photo of it on my cell then found a monogram of it and it foretold of an omen that came about
