Night Owl

“I see through darkness. My wisdom is ancient, my silence is power.”

Given that today is Samhain, the appearance of Owl this morning seems quite fitting, and perhaps prophetic.

"Among the creatures of Samhain, none see more clearly into shadow than the Owl.
Since ancient times, the Owl has been a symbol of prophecy, mystery, and death’s wisdom.
To the Greeks, Owl was sacred to Athena, goddess of wisdom and war strategy.
To the Celts, Owl guarded the underworld, guiding souls across the threshold with calm precision.
When Owl appears around Samhain, it asks: What truths are you afraid to see?
A big part of its medicine is having the courage to look into the unseen…our inner night, our unspoken grief, our intuitive knowing…and find clarity there.
Owl energy heightens clairvoyance, dreamwork, and ancestral communication.
It invites you to trust your inner sight, even when logic falters.
Owls remind you that wisdom isn’t always loud or linear. It’s often silent, felt, and ancient.
In shamanic traditions, Owl is the ally of the soul retriever, one who journeys into the dark to bring back lost fragments of self.
During Samhain, this work becomes especially potent.
Owl holds the lantern as we reclaim what we’ve abandoned in fear."
