If You Are Drawn to the Owl

The owl's gift of heightened senses enables 
it to see through external appearances,
deception and illusion and to discover hidden truths.

If you are drawn to owls or owl symbolism, 
you may have this same ability to uncover secrets.

People may feel uneasy around you, 
as if you are able to see through pretence.

The owl also teaches us to acknowledge 
the dark side of our personality,
and in that darkness we may find food for growth.

If people do not speak words that 
reflect the truth of their actions and motives,
owl medicine (as referred to by aboriginal cultures) 
will guide you with vision and inner knowing to reveal the truth.

The owl puts an end to doubt, 
it offers vision and clarity of the truth of events,
people or circumstances in your life.
