🦉✨ The Wisdom of the Owls ✨🦉
For the third autumn in a row, two magnificent Great Horned Owls have returned to the trees in our yard.
The other evening, as I was teaching my online yoga class, their beautiful hooting became part of my practice. 🦉🌙
I’ve always had a deep affinity for owls. In fact, I have a tattoo of the Owl of Athena on my arm that I got in Athens, Greece several years ago. A symbol that has held special meaning for me for many years.
In Greek mythology, the owl is sacred to Athena, goddess of wisdom, insight, and courage. Owls have long been associated with learning, books, intuition, mystery, transformation, and the ability to see what others cannot.
Perhaps wisdom isn’t always about knowing what lies ahead. Perhaps it’s about trusting ourselves to find our way, even when the path isn’t fully illuminated.
Owls remind us to:
🌙 Trust our intuition and inner knowing.
🦉 Find courage in the face of the unknown.
✨ Embrace transformation and new beginnings.
🌿 Honor stillness, observation, and deep listening.
💫 Remember that clarity often emerges from quiet rather than striving.
🪽 We don’t have to see the entire path to take the next step. Sometimes we simply need to trust our wings.
All I know is that every evening when I hear their calls echoing through the trees, I’m reminded to pause, listen, and trust the wisdom that lives within. I often step outside to try and catch a glimpse of them in the trees.
