THE BUTTERFLY WHISPERER
Taun A. Richards author and founder of BFWings
The language of energy, frequency, and vibration is difficult to translate into words. This makes it challenging to explain why butterfly whispering is such an extraordinary experience. But once you try it, you will understand why I created this project.
The videos and photos I share here are raw and unedited. Each one captures either a still or a moving image — unscripted, spontaneous, and alive. These interactions with wild butterflies are not staged or rehearsed. They are pure moments of connection. What you see is exactly what happened. WYSIWYG.
Butterfly whispering is not about control. It is about presence. It is about being still enough, open enough, coherent enough, that the butterflies choose to come close. Every visit is a gift, a fleeting reminder that nature speaks a language deeper than words.
This site is a window into that language — a gallery of encounters that reveal how even the smallest of creatures can transmit the greatest of truths: that transformation, joy, and coherence are already within reach.
Albert Einstein once said, “When you look deeply into nature, you will understand everything better.” This is profoundly true.
Many creatures undergo a transformational stage during their lifetime — including us. We often call it a mid-life crisis. But in reality, it is a mid-life chrysalis.
Our moment of truth comes when we must trust our own wings for the very first time. Even though we have never experienced flight before, when the time arrives, the butterfly flies — as though it has known how to fly its entire life.
The ability to fly is not learned. The knowledge is woven into the wings themselves. It comes pre-installed, waiting only for the moment of becoming.
The New Forest Burnet butterfly, is a category 1, in the red book endangered species list.
The Butterfly Whisperer
This book shares how butterflies carry coherence into the field, reminding us that transformation is not theory but lived experience. Through stillness, touch, and vibration, they reveal that the smallest of creatures can transmit the deepest of truths: that life is already in harmony, waiting for us to listen.
THE SHADOW OF THE VALLEY OF DEATH
The process of metamorphosis changes the entire experience of life. But why is it necessary to create a life form that must die in order to alter its experience? Why not create butterflies that give birth to butterflies, bypassing the caterpillar’s monotonous existence entirely?
There is a point in the transformation where neither caterpillar nor butterfly can be said to exist. In this supernatural interval, ancient secrets are revealed about how we too can transform our experience of life.
From the caterpillar’s perspective, death is the end. To the butterfly, it is only the beginning. Death is simply the space between one state of being and another.
The metamorphosis of the butterfly illustrates that the energy which creates life never dies. In fact, the existence of a butterfly proves that life after death is a reality.
So here is the question: if so much creative potential is hidden within a crawling worm, how much greater must our potential for transformation be?
“Find the golden butterfly within,
and you will never be without"
