Owl


Engraving (1790)

The mystical owl, bringer of dreams, seer of truth, and messenger from the underworld imbues the night with her moon magic. Since ancient times, owls have been associated with magic, medicine, and witches. An owl’s call was a harbinger of disaster and death. They are also symbols of wisdom and protection, when an owl flew over Greek soldiers before a battle, it was a sign of victory. In Greek mythology, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, had a little owl (Athene noctuna) that perched on her blind side, allowing her to see the whole truth. It was later believed that owls have a magical inner light, allowing them to see at night and into the future.
