OWL – The Bird of Wisdom and Clarity
OWL – The Bird of Wisdom and Clarity – is a commonly uncommon bird. It is a common bird because I do not think there is anyone who does not hear about its name; uncommon because it is a rarely sighted bird.
A night bird in nature, the owl has an extremely sensitive hearing capacity & an eyesight that makes it able to see clearly in night. The owl can not only hear the sounds from a far away distance but also can trace the exact location of the source. Similarly, because of its unique vision it can see clearly through the darkness.
This majestic, independent & solitary bird has always fascinated me since my childhood because of its mysterious demeanor. I have been grown up with the belief that if an owl is sighted, then there could be a death in the neighborhood, or we could receive a news of death. Usually, it was considered as a bad omen for these things. However, with time I learnt the supernatural attributes of owl.
The owl is one of the rarer spirit animals. If we happen to cross paths with an owl, it is a true sign from the universe. Listen to it, as per our situations we can get the insight from its appearance.
- Intuition & Clarity – Being a nocturnal bird, owl has an extremely deep power of intuition. When it appears before us, it often asks us to use our intuition to see the things clearly. It can send an alert also not to ignore our instinct.
- There could be good news on its way in terms of new opportunities.
- Inner Wisdom – It may want to tell us it is time to go by our own values & wisdom instead of falling prey to our temptations & weaknesses no matter how compelling they are.
- Change – it appears before us when there is a major change in our life path. There could be a change in job, location, or a departmental change withing the organizations. It could mean a change in role as well.
- Transformation & death – Owl brings the insight of transformation & death. It could be the death of a situation or transformation of the body to souls, precisely end of a circle. New beginnings are on the card.
- It is solitary bird, when it catches our attention, it may want to tell that find some “ME time & space” & reflect on our life.
- Sometimes it comes with a strong message like face the ultimate truth in terms of consequences.
- In our life journey where we face challenges and hardships that seem overwhelming, the owl appears to guide us to keep our eyes open and remain mindful of what is going on around us, so that we will effectively steer through them unharmed.
- The owl is a meditative bird. At times it wants us to find the answers in silence. It is time for meditation.
- The owl also reminds at times to face you own shadow.
The owl is believed to have a strong clairvoyance or supernatural powers. It often crosses our path when we need to develop our psychic abilities.
- The owl is also the messenger of ancestors, angels, or spirits.
In Greek Mythology the owl is represented as the Athena – The virgin goddess of wisdom. In Hindu belief, the owl is believed to be the vahana of Goddess Lakshmi. Hence the owl is the symbol of prosperity, wisdom, fertility & feminine power.
Viewing an owl may be a sign that it is time to undertake a spiritually awakening journey. In some cases, it could also be a sign that we are about to begin a new phase in our life.
As I already said above that they are often rarely sighted bird, so when they appear before us, it is never without a reason. They bring the wisdom needed to see the things clearly at point of our lives.
Listen to it… 🙂
