Owls have long been associated with magic and are featured in many old illustrations of witches and wizards. They are second only to cats as the "Most Magical Creatures." They are also the emblem of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, who chose them as her mascot. Coins were minted at the time with Athena's face on one side and an owl on the reverse.

These enigmatic creatures are universally recognized as symbols of wisdom, bearers of death omens, and messengers of prophecy. The Owl's symbolism is as diverse as its species, with some cultures viewing it as a harbinger of good and wisdom, while others see it as a bearer of evil and doom.

Native Americans shared superstitions regarding owls, mainly related to prophecy and divination. Many tribes thought that owls possessed great mystical powers. They also believed that spirits used owls to warn of impending death.

Owls are nocturnal creatures that can see in the dark, fly, and hunt swiftly without making a sound. They easily invoke the belief that they are creatures of clairvoyance with keen perception, the ability for astral projection, strong instincts, and closeness to the occult. 

They are revered as carriers of ancient lunar knowledge, symbolizing the duality of wisdom and darkness. Their association with the moon's powers and their enigmatic nature make them a powerful symbol in Wiccan practices, enlightening us about their significance in modern spiritual beliefs.

The Owl has become a sign of learning and mental change. Many people believe that seeing an owl is a profoundly good thing, as it indicates the start of a new phase in life.

Some cultures believe that the Owl is a conduit between shamans and the spirit world, carrying messages back and forth. 

This mysterious Owl is delivering a scroll, like Hedwig from Harry Potter. Whether from a Shaman or a Wizard, you can ponder its message as you assemble the wooden jigsaw puzzle.
