Animal Medicine . This has been one of the most potent parts of my life since my auntie gave me my Nanas animal medicine cards n book from the 80s decades ago …. To when I was a small child when my father would tell me that the animals would talk to me🙏🏽 During our gathering this week a friend of ours saw an owl get struck. We held ceremony for this wise Great horned being , then processed the owl to be honoured for future use of ceremony. this gathering we had a wonderful new addition to our team someone who has been raised in the firemaker culture since he was two, and experience in eating wild foods. despite what the Internet said with regards to eating bird of prey , we felt called to process, a portion of its breast meat. you are what you eat! taking in this medicine one at a time sharing what Owl medicine meant to each of us, I welcomed in the gifts of wisdom and integrity, and being able to hold discernment for truth. this was truth for me to partake… A few hours later I stood at the sink, making popcorn, when another new team member came up to me to ask what Owl medicine was to me… As I was sharing how connected I felt with this animal… She exclaimed oh my goodness there’s an owl… I looked beyond only another 5 m and there she was staring at us from the ground almost with a head tilt with deep curiosity knowing and hearing🙏🏽listening to our conversation . Closest I’ve ever been with an owl ❤️ this was truly one of the most connective & integrative experiences of my life🦉 Thank you to all who shared this deep deep meaningful experience 🙏🏽 ( Photo credit unknown) Owls in Celtic Culture symbolize occult knowledge and sight working in esoteric arts, and the Ability to see through deception and discerning truth
Owls in Greek culture also represented a similar type of wisdom and are often seen with Athena archetypal goddess of wisdom. “Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, had a companion Owl on her shoulder which revealed unseen truths to her. Owl had the ability to light up Athena’s blind side, enabling her to speak the whole truth, as opposed to only a half truth.” -Jamie Sams - Cherokee/Iroquois author of Medicine cards |
