Let me know what you think about flies…

The insect fly plays a vital role in the cycle of life. It has both a positive and a negative representations in symbolism:
In Western art, dating back to Medieval times, flies were used to symbolize decay, death and rot of the flesh and soul. In Christian symbolism, a fly hovering over a church official or nobleman indicates disfavor with the  king or corruption and dereliction of duty, and a fly hovering over a maiden or noblewoman suggests shamelessness or a woman given to lustful actions. As the fourth Biblical plague of Egypt, flies also represent death and decay.

However, as a totem, the fly spirit animal symbolizes abundance and prosperity during times of adversity. It sends the message that by being persistent, consistent, and determined even in the face of adversity will bring success.

In dreams, flies buzzing are inviting you to be cautious of an unusual and unpleasant event in the works.

“Fruit of the gods”, according to Homer, it was banished by the clergy, because it also symbolizes temptation. In Baroque art, it represents fertility.

In China, its country of origin, the pear is a symbol of separation and is never shared between spouses, friends or partners.

In Greek mythology the pear tree is associated with Hera and the apple tree with Aphrodite. In the Heraion of Mycenae, one of the oldest sanctuaries dedicated to Hera, statues of the cult of the goddess were carved from pear wood.
