    I used to be afraid of owls for years and years. Up until about a year ago I fell in love with them and cannot get enough. I dream about them all the time, volunteered at an owl rescue and finally saw one in my backyard this morning. A beautiful barred owl.

    I often hear an owl outside my house. Whenever I do, usually a matter of days later, someone close to me dies. On edge all the time, even though owls are beautiful creatures. Wish they'd bring me and my partner good luck. I want to start feeling relaxed listening to them, and not frightened

    I, as a native, was always told that owls were messengers of death and evil. All I hear from everyone who is Native is that when an owl comes to you or is watching you, is it a sign of death. Usually, the death of someone follows after seeing one in a couple days. Strangely enough, this is coincidence does happen a lot. To me it doesn’t seem like mere luck.

    My experience with this is ... before my experience I didn't really think anything about owls . While at my mom's house we heard the hoot of an owl and my mom got worried she said someone was going to die . I didn't really believe that but didn't say anything. 3 days later my grandpa passed away . My grandparents live across the street from my mom's. After my experience I still don't want to believe but damn that's crazy . Alot of people say this has happened to them... 🤷‍♀️

But thank God 🙏 nothing happened or has happened in months. I guess what it was is that I came to the owl the owl didn't come to me.

    when I was a kid I was deathly afraid of owls. they would leave me sleepless at night hooting. as a adult many life experiences later and I understand them and they take care of family and love peace and quiet and the night time. I can get behind that. the last owl I saw would hang out on a pole where I worked the night shift before I moved to the city. I miss them, quite frankly. these omens never once stole my shit in the middle of the night, but humans did. the only 2 eyes you need to be wary off are your own.

    Can owls be used in dark magick? And can someone create an owl altar for negative work? Tina is dealing with a grievous situation where the individual has been sending evil eye her way and praying for bad for her and I have found out she has at least 50 plus owl statues in her home which kinda seems to be placed on an altar. Anyone have any insights on this? I know everything is duality and has polar opposites.

    Just couple days ago my friend was heading to work. Sadly he noticed someone had broken in his job. And went back to his car , all of a sudden a owl just stands in front of his car in the parking lot .. couple mins later it flys away . In my country owls symbolizes something bad is going to happen/ or good luck. Just yesterday’s he gets some news that his father passed away.. now don’t get my wrong owls are such awesome and beautiful animals it’s cool how they sense bad things such as death. But I believe that owls bring bad luck.

    The majority of Owls only come out at night. They do NOT exist within daylight, therefore time(an illusion humans created based on light and dark) doesnt apply to them. They exist in the infinite present….therefore they can relay msgs from the “past” or “future”. Neither of those terms applies to them
