MEANING & SYMBOLISM:
Knowledge, Wisdom, Intelligence, Wealth, Protection, Transition
These
fascinating creatures have a long history of symbolism. In Ancient
Egypt, the Owl was said to aid in the transport of souls into the next
life and was thus considered a protector of the dead. Perhaps because
Owls are nocturnal and can see in the dark, they were considered the
rulers of the night and secret keepers. This was also part of First
Nations and Native American cultures who revered the owl's ability to
foretell weather conditions and invoked the spirit of the owl when
secret knowledge was required.
In Ancient Greece, the Owl
symbolized knowledge and intelligence which in turn signified wealth and
status. The Owl was the creature associated with Athena, goddess of
learning.
In Africa & Australia the owls were the familiar
pets of medicine men, seers & sorcerers and were the transporters of
secrets. European culture also signifies the owl as the companion of
witches.
Here is the Owl in action, celebrating a graduation. This necklace also features our Personalized Medium Oval Date Charm, A Four Leaf Clover Charm, A Small Blue Onyx Bead Charm and a Large Faceted Turquoise Bead Charm.
