What other creature has been associated with so many various beliefs.The Owl is both feared and venerated, despised and admired.

In Indian Folklore the owl is said to represent wisdom and helpfulness, and to have the powers of prophecy. The Greeks believed the Owl to have the power of protection.It was the symbol of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and strategy.

A creature of the night, associated with psychic powers, witchcraft and sorcery,whatever your beliefs we can all agree on one thing,that the Owl is one of the most fascinating birds on our planet!
