Who, Who do you want to become? Give a hoot and don’t pollute your mind with questions. Feel the answers in your heart Owl Medicine has for you.

Bring the Omens of future times, Visions of Spacetime, and the life left behind.

Try Yawning and saying who at the same time.

Our spirit exist as an eternal flame of energy. We choose to enter into this Sacred Hoop of life, by putting on the Robe of the Physical. Each successive incarnation, we inhabit a new body, traverse the outer Medicine Wheel absorbing a new set of Life Lessons unique to each experience, and then transition from this physical plane once more as pure energy.

It is believed by the Shaman, at this point, the spirit journeys along the outer rim of the Medicine Wheel, we review the lessons learned and absorbed from the “life” left behind. We than examine what lessons and goals we have yet to fulfill, as well as what Gifts we might bring back with us to assist and share with the All of creation.

We then re-emerge once more on the Hoop at the Golden Doorway, arriving in a new body with a new set of Life Lessons. For the one beside whom Owl Medicine flies, the Gift of Wisdom is a life long quest and within the hearts and minds of these spirits is a never-ending desire to know more, feel more and thus be more.

Who can be More? You that’s Who!

Often, Owl Medicine people are voracious readers and will feel a little unbalanced when they are not entertaining their minds enough which may eventually manifest as physical and/or emotional ailments, hence it is vital for their sense of equilibrium to challenge their minds and hearts with new studies, reading stimulating books, or taking up new endeavors that will later be fashioned from the base material of knowledge, into applied principles that become another wellspring of Owl Medicine.

As an Animal Medicine Totem, the owl, with its ability to cross from the plane of the “Red Road” of Physical Life, to the, “Blue Road” of Spirit, symbolizes the continual state of the Spirit’s Transformation.

From no Spirit to growing Spirit. As such, Owl Medicine has been associated with the process of Reincarnation, or the evolutionary process of the spirit as it enters and leaves the Great Classrooms of Life.

The Owl of Owl Medicine

Throughout the ages, the owl has been a symbol of Wisdom from many tribes throughout North America to ancient Greek and Roman mythology. Owl is synonymous with the Gift of Higher Knowledge and insight.

In Greek mythology, Athena (the Goddess of Wisdom) was often seen with an owl either perched atop her shoulder or flying along beside her. Likewise, the owl beside whom Owl Medicine journeys will be gifted with a higher wisdom.

There are approximately 135 species of owl, of which seventeen are found in North America. Their secretive habits, quiet flight and various calls from whistles, screeches and hoots, have made them objects of superstition and fear in some parts of the world. Some native tribes see the owl as a symbol of death while other tribes believe they embody the mysteries of shamanism and sorcery.

Owls have many abilities which set them apart from all other birds. Their wings which are extremely soft and thick, allow them to fly silently, so they can swoop down on unsuspecting prey. They are able to slip in and out of places unnoticed and can teach us how to do the same.

Individuals with Owl Medicine are private complex people and don’t like others to know what they are really thinking. This can sometimes lead to misunderstandings especially in the area of personal relationships. But owls have hearts as well, which they don’t mind sharing.

Take a moment to rest in your Heart. It’s the home of Wise’s Owls

Active at dawn and dusk owls are sometimes called the night eagle, messenger from the darkness and guide through all the mysteries that life contains. Owl Medicine teaches us how to embrace our personal darkness without fear. So that we may move past it into the light. Owls are sometimes thought to come to those that are about to die.

This does not mean a physical death as much as it means the letting go of some part of yourself that is not serving you. Owls with their spectral senses help guide us through the dark tunnels of fear, change and uncertainty to the brilliant light shining at the other end. If owl appears in your life, thank it for its willingness to guide you through this shadowy realm, to the other side of promise and joy.

The large eyes of these beautiful birds certainly seem to reflect an otherworldly knowledge and wisdom, their stare is direct and penetrating as though they see beyond the masks that are presented to them. Which of course they do. To see the truths that lay beneath.

They have a greater range of motion in their necks than any other animal with a spinal column. Owls turn their heads rather than their eyes, which are stationary. Their night vision is so powerful that they can see the equivalent of a candle flame burning 2500 feet away!

The Power of Owl Medicine

Their powers of vision are matched by their otherworldly hearing abilities. In studies with owls that were placed in totally light free rooms, the owls were able to locate a mouse by sound alone. Owl’s ears are not symmetrical, one being higher than the other. The sound is channeled separately into each ear by a ruff of fine feathers. Owl hears in perfect stereo, allowing owl to pinpoint the trembling meal far below.
