“Owl” 8cm Hand Painted Glass Ornament Designed by Artist Angela Kimble   Authentic Indigenous Art Artist: Angela Kimble Cultural Background: Coast Salish Nuu-Cha-Nulth, Saanich BC   In many Indigenous cultures, the owl is a powerful, nuanced symbol associated with wisdom, magic, and prophecy, as well as a connection to the spirit world and the afterlife. It can be seen as a messenger or a guardian, but some traditions also link it to death and illness. The specific meaning varies widely among different tribes, so the owl is viewed as both a revered guide and a feared omen depending on the context. Positive and protective meanings: Wisdom and knowledge: The owl’s silent hunting and keen senses are often interpreted as a symbol of wisdom, clear vision, and ancient knowledge. Protection: Some tribes view the owl as a protective spirit, with certain warriors seeking its protection, and the Lenape believing a dream about an owl could make it a lifelong guardian. Guardianship: The owl can be seen as a guardian spirit, watching over the living or guiding those in the spirit world. Guidance and insight: Medicine men and healers sometimes seek out owls for insight into the truth of a situation or to understand events happening far away. Meanings related to death and the spirit world: Connection to the spirit world: The owl is frequently seen as a messenger between the living and the spirit world. Association with death: Some traditions believe an owl’s presence or call can signify an impending death or the passage of a soul. It can be seen as a messenger of death, but what is done with the message is up to the individual. Spirit of the dead: In some cultures, owls are considered to be the restless spirits of ancestors or are associated with spirits in some way. Magic and mystery: Magic and prophecy: Owls are connected to magic, prophecy, and foreknowledge. Summoning spirits: The sound of an owl was sometimes believed to be a call to summon the spirit world.
