Owl Magick

Owl Magick

Owls often portray Athena, the Greek Goddess of wisdom.

In Native American stories owls are most commonly associated with prophecies and divination.

To the Hopi tribe the burrowing owl was thought to be sacred and symbolized their god of death. They also believed that the burrowing owl was the protector of the underworld and things that grew in the earth (seed, plants).  Since this species of owl nests in the ground, it represents earth itself.

In some African countries the owl represents sorcery and baneful magic. When a large owl hangs around a house in is said that the house contains a powerful shaman. It is also believed that owls carry messages back and forth between the shaman and spirit realm.

The Romans believed that nailing an owl to the door of their home would keep evil at bay.

Throughout great Britain during the eighteenth century people would nail owls to barn door to protect the livestock from fire and lightning.

Throughout Europe owls were thought of as a symbol of death and destruction.

Appalachians also believed that owls bring death. According to mountain legends it was said that if an owl is seen circling during the day, it means bad news for someone close by. In some areas, it is believed that owls flew down on Samhain night to eat the souls of the dead.

The owl is associated with the mysterious, clairvoyance, omens, silent wisdom, and vision.

If you find an owl feather, it can be used for several different purposes. The Zuni tribe believed that an owl feather placed in a baby’s crib kept evil spirits away from the infant. Other tribes saw owls as bringers of healing, so a feather could be hung in the doorway of a home to keep illness out. In the British Isles, owls were associated with death and negative energy, so feathers can be used to repel those same unpleasant influences.

The owl symbolizes our third or spiritual eye and is associated with inner knowledge.
