The owl can have the following meanings: wisdom, mystery, transformation, messages, intelligence, mysticism, protection, secrets.
The owl is a status symbol, and therefore also a symbol of abundance. In ancient cultures, the owl was connected to the afterlife. It guarded the other world and protected the dead. It is not uncommon for it to be interpreted as the wind of death. For this reason, of course, we can understand why it became the lord of the night and the seer of souls. Often, misunderstanding has also brought negative images to it, such as the aforementioned ominous presence that if it appears at the house, it will be dead.
But we must still be aware that the owl was revered as the guardian of souls, who travels from one plane to another. We can often read in myths that it accompanies the soul to the afterlife. It takes the free soul under its wings.
Native Americans associated the meaning of the owl with wisdom, foresight and the guardian of sacred knowledge. This is also due to the fact that the owl is an excellent weather forecaster. Due to its night vision, the natives summoned it when an oracle of secret knowledge was needed.
Similarly, in many West African and Australian cultures, it is a messenger of secrets, a relative of charmers, and a companion of seers, mystics and healers.
If the owl appears in your life as a totem animal, then you need to think more about your future. You need to pay attention to the signs and take care of your path. But you can also get in touch with the afterlife, which is not necessarily a bad thing. You can communicate with the dead more easily, but you can also travel between planes more easily. It is worth taking advantage of this to practice astral travel.
The owl totem not only gives or develops abilities. It also appears in some people's lives when they are grieving something or someone. Often it is not death, but mere separation that is difficult. The owl totem helps, makes things easier for you and indicates that not all changes are bad.
Owls, as totem animals, often join strongly spiritual people.
In the coming times, you should try to be wiser and think before you act, because it will be important for your future. If you pay attention to the world, you can gain knowledge that will be your eternal companion.
