NocturnalWisdom's Profile at Vampire Rave.

Owls are believed to be a sacred animal to the famed Cult of the Head. They often appear with human heads and with bovines, such as rams and bulls, all of which have been determined by scholars to be objects of this strange cult. In modern Scottish and Welsh languages, the owl, by the etymology of the word alone carries negative connotations of death and darkness. Then, in later Gallo-Roman times the Owl lost its cult significance, but has been linked to a Celtic goddess associated with fertility.

In the Celtic style, the fitting bears the face of an owl through an arrangement of shapes that terminate at the end of some columnar tendril designs. This owl is typical of La Tène work and is defined by the large eyes and sharp, curved beak that stand forth from background of intertwining designs.

In Ancient Greek mythology the Owl was a creature sacred to Athena, Goddess of the night who represented wisdom. Athena, the Greek Goddess of Wisdom had a companion Owl on her shoulder, which revealed unseen truths to her. Owl had the ability to light up Athena's blind side, enabling her to speak the whole truth, as opposed to only a half truth. The Ainu in Japan trust the Owl because it gives them notice of evil approaching. They revere the Owl, and believe it mediates between the Gods and men. The bird features prominently Celtic folklore where it is considered both to be sacred and to have magical powers, again because of its abilities in the dark. Zulus and other West African nations consider the bird a powerful influence in casting spells, and think that using parts of the owl gives great strength to a person involved with magical incantations.

To the Welsh, the Owl is a night predator -- the only bird capable of defeating the swift falcon and then only at dusk, its time of power. The Owl symbolizes death and renewal, wisdom, moon magick, and initiations. Their Goddess Arianrhod shapeshifts into a large Owl, and through the great Owl-eyes, sees even into the darkness of the human subconscious and soul. She is said to move with strength and purpose through the night, her wings of comfort and healing spread to give solace to those who seek her. A star and moon Goddess, Arianrhod was also called the Silver Wheel because the dead were carried on her Oar Wheel to Emania (the Moon-land or land of death), which belonged to her as a deity of reincarnation and karma. The Mother aspect of the Triple Goddess in Wales, her palace was Caer Arianrhod (Aurora Borealis), or the secret center of each initiate's spiritual being.

Indigenous peoples of the Americas consider the Owl to be the Night Eagle because it is silent and deadly in flight, and is a solitary bird with all-seeing eyes. The Owl is generally regarded as a bird of sorcerers because of its association with--and abilities in--the dark. It symbolizes deception and silent observation because it flies noiselessly. The Owl is feared by peoples who believe that the death warning is in its hoot.

In the Navajo belief system, the Owl is the envoy of the supernatural world and earth-bound spirits. The Pawnee understand the Owl as the Chief of the Night and believe that it affords protection. The Cherokee honor the bird as sacred because of its night-time vision, and wish to draw that power to themselves to see in the dark.

The Owl has a dual symbolism of wisdom and darkness, the latter meaning evil and death. They are symbolically associated with clairvoyance, astral projection and magick, and is oftentimes the medicine of sorcerers and witches, you are drawn to magickal practices. Those who have owl medicine will find that these night birds will tend to collect around you, even in daytime, because they recognise a kinship with you.

The two main symbolic characteristics of the Owl, its wisdom and its nocturnal activity-- have made it represent perception. Considering perception in a spiritual context, Owl medicine is related to psychism, occult matters, instincts, and clairvoyance-- the true ability to see what is happening around you.

Mentorship:

House: Honored To be apart of

Alliance:

The right people appreciate you.
They value you, your energy, and your time.
They cherish you, they believe in you.
They support you however they can.

They don't make excuses.
Their actions speak louder than words.
That's how you know who is
Meant to stay in your life.

To work on yourself is the best thing you can do.
Accept that you are not perfect, but you are enough.
Then start working on everything that destroys you.

Your insecurities, your ego, and your dark thoughts
You will see in the end you're going
To make peace with yourself.
That is the greatest thing in the world.

I am different and it has cost me many people
But, I am always myself.
It's better to lose others than
To lose yourself to fit in.

Don't talk to me about loyalty.
I am still holding secrets of
People who are throwing dirt
On my face and my name.

Being at peace means that
You no longer have the need to
Prove anything to anyone.

You don't need outside validation.
You don't need to tell your side of the story
Even when you hear a dozen rumors
That tell an untrue version.

You used to guard your heart,
But, now you guard your peace
Because you know your peace
Is worth more than proving
Yourself to anyone.

We are often let down by the most trusted people
Loved by the most unexpected ones.
Some make us cry for things that we haven't done
While others ignore our faults and see our smile.

Some leave us when we need them the most
While some stay with us even when we ask them to leave
The world is a mixture of people
We just need to know which hand to shake
Which hand to hold
After all that's life
Learning to hold on
Learning to let go

I used to think communication was key
Until I realized comprehension is
You can communicate all you want with someone
If they don't understand you it won't reach them
The way you need it to.

I keep going because I was given no other choice
It was either fall or fly and that is the story
Of how I got my wings.

You are not responsible for anyone's distorted
Perception of you, Stand firm in your own light and truth.
