Enlightenment White moths are drawn to light, which stands for spiritual knowledge and enlightenment. [4] X Research source It’s a good idea to be cautious about chasing illumination, though.

Freedom The feeling of being able to explore anything you wish to in life is also represented by a white moth. Think about how white moths fly here and there, from location to location with ease.

Let go of any fears or limits you’ve put on yourself and believe in your personal journey and everything it means to you. [6] X Research source

Omens of Death Many cultures regard white moths as symbols of death. This association doesn’t have to be negative, though. Death can simply refer to transformation or a reminder to cherish life. Reflect on the cycles of death and life so you are confident that every ending means a new beginning. [8] X Research source
