Owl Symbol

What owls mean in different cultures 

Although owls were related to magic and witchcraft in the European Middle Ages, they had a completely different status in other cultures. 
 

Owl symbol


In ancient Greeks, the owl was a symbol of wisdom and protection. Owl's soft fur creates a sense of security, and its large eyes and small face are reminiscent of humans. This characteristic is also why Greek mythology views the owl as a symbol of wisdom. According to tradition, Athena, as the Greek goddess of wisdom, always accompanied the owl. 


According to Celtic beliefs, the owl is one of the oldest animals on the planet. The fact that it hunts in total darkness at night has made this owl a symbolic status of a messenger from another world since the early days. 


In Shamanism, owls are powerful soul leaders, guardians, and mentors from the extraordinary upper and lower worlds. A powerful animal shaman, the owl is an ancient soul mate traveling to the spiritual world. In shamanism, it represents strong intuition, greater trust in power, distinct senses, and overcoming fear.
