Barn Owls are amazing animal spirit guides. They bring a host of gifts to those with whom they choose to work. Ted Andrews writes at length about attributes of the Barn Owl in Animal Speak. He characterizes Barn Owl as a teacher of many mysteries, including stealth, clairvoyance, clairaudience, spirit contact, and mediumship. Andrews adds that Barn Owl can also help those with whom he works to establish a strong link between the heart and the mind.
RavenDreamer also speaks at length about Barn Owl’s attributes, stating that those who have the Barn Owl as a guide are likely to have a polarizing effect on people, stimulating either interpersonal attraction or discord. RavenDreamer adds that Barn Owl people may have very different ways of doing things.
Ravenari augments the conversation by commenting that Barn Owl folks tend to hear the truth across the worlds and also tell the truth, but like RavenDreamer, Ravenari asserts that people with Barn Owl as a guide can sometimes evoke social discord, either through their actions or simply how they are perceived by others.
Many owls speak of a new spiritual community, but choosing one owl to follow, speaks of the need for discernment, wisdom, of choosing your path on the journey.
From Deb Hill (with permission):
Owl is wisdom and brings clarity and discernment. Owl is symbol of being able to navigate any darkness in your life. It can give you strength to open your eyes and look into the shadows. It can show you things that might otherwise remain hidden. Owl is also feminine and helps one to embrace your inner goddess.
Alexis Cartwright speaks of Owls’s acute awareness of everything around at all times – excellent vision, can see at night, acute hearing, and can swivel its head 270 degrees to perceive in every direction. Owl speaks of clairvoyance, or unseen truths.
Owl is often a symbol of wisdom because it can see what others cannot. In the Tribes, this power is often feared, as secrets are hard to keep around an Owl.
Owl indicates that you may be being confronted with the unknown, the dark, the unseen. You have the Medicine to perceive what you need to know – there may be deceptions or betrayal, or undisclosed suffering. You may be able to perceive the motives behind other people’s choices and words – Owl’s wisdom is to observe silently, and allow your intuition to choose the right course of action without revealing anyone’s secrets.
Owl also gives you the opportunity to self-examine, and clear your own self-deception. Owl encourages to you to study, examine – silently (his wings are completely silent) – and learn from your observations.
