In many cultures around the world, the millipede is much more than just an insect. Its sinuous silhouette and fluid movement despite obstacles evoke the ability to persevere at all costs. According to some spiritual beliefs, it is a messenger of inner change. Its appearance in your home could therefore signify a phase of transition, a need to let go, or to reorganize certain aspects of your life.
It’s a bit like a discreet but clear warning sign: it might be time to declutter, both your closets and your thoughts.
What does it reveal about your environment?
But there’s also a more down-to-earth, and equally useful, interpretation. Millipedes prefer damp, dark, and infrequently used areas. Their presence can therefore indicate excessive humidity, neglected corners during cleaning, or cracks in the walls or baseboards.
