Lost in Translation

 

My fascination with owls made me do some research on their symbolism especially in Native American culture. Here are some interesting excerpts I found on the boundless world of Internet…

Owl Symbolism

Symbolic meanings for the owl are:

• Intuition, ability to see what others do not see

• The presence of the owl announces change

• Capacity to see beyond deceit and masks

• Wisdom

• The traditional meaning of the owl spirit animal is the announcer of death, most likely symbolic like a life transition, change

The owl spirit animal and the power to see in the dark

The owl sees in the dark: As a spirit animal, the owl guides you to see beyond the veil of deception and illusion; it helps see what’s kept hidden. It also symbolizes the ability to cut through illusions and see the real meaning of someone’s action or state of mind.

When the owl is one of your power animals, you have a strong intuition and can access information and wisdom that’s usually hidden to most. The spirit of this animal encourages you to look beyond deceiving appearances into the true reality of a situation or a person’s motives.

The owl is a strong spirit guide for discernment and making decision based solid foundations. Call on the owl totem when you have to assess a situation or are going through confusing times.
