Rainbow Theme Butterfly, United States
In Greek mythology the rainbow was used as a symbol for the rainbow bridge
between this world and the world of the Gods. In Norse mythology the Vikings
also had the rainbow bridge that led them to the gates of Valhalla which
was one of the most beautiful halls of Asgard. A god named Heimdall lived
by the rainbow bridge, watching over it constantly. In many cultures around
the world there are stories and legends about the rainbow as a path or
gate to a better world and a golden reward. In one of the most famous
films ever made, "The Wizard of Oz" and the theme song, "Somewhere
over the rainbow" has become a part of everyone's life.
In African societies the rainbow takes on a more energetic meaning. It
is equated with the sky serpent, a symbol of energy flowing between heaven
and earth. The Chinese believed the colors of the rainbow represented
the union of the yin and yang energies. In the practice of Tantric Buddhism,
the rainbow body is a meditative state in which matter begins to be transformed
into pure light. According to Irish folklore, when a rainbow touches the
ground you can find buried treasure there. If you get busy chasing rainbows
maybe your luck will lead you to the Leprechaun's pot of gold!
In recent times the rainbow flag has symbolized "unity in diversity"
and the power of light for illuminating future progress. From a scientific
viewpoint, the rainbow is in fact a single, indivisible entity. Newton
himself had said that the rainbow consists of seven homogeneous gleams.
