OWL (#21) ~ Deception
Owl medicine is symbolically associated with clairvoyance, astral projection, and magic, both black and white. Owl is called NIGHT EAGLE on several medicine wheels used by AmerIndian teachers. Traditionally, Owl sits in the East, the place of illumination. Since time immemorial, humanity has been afraid of the night, the dark, and the unseen - waiting fearfully for the first crack of morning light. Conversely, night is Owl’s friend. Owl hunts its prey at night. Not only can Owl see in the dark, it can also accurately pinpoint and identify any sound. This gives it a great advantage when seeking food. Owls are the night hunters. Some Native people are fearful of Owl and call its feathers “deceiver feathers”. An Owl feather is silent. You cannot hear Owl when it flies, but its prey definitely knows when it strikes, for it beak and talons are razor sharp. |

Owl is oftentimes the medicine of sorcerers and witches. If Owl is your medicine, you will be drawn to magical practices and perhaps explore the dark arts. You should resist any temptation to practice black magic or ANY art that takes energy away from another person or being. If you have Owl medicine, these night birds will have a tendency to collect around you, even in the daytime, because they recognize a kinship with you.
Is it any wonder that in many cultures Owl is a symbol for wisdom? This is because Owl can see that which others cannot, which is the essence of true wisdom. Where others are deceived, Owl sees and knows what is there.
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.
If Owl is your personal medicine, no one can deceive you about what they are doing, no matter how they try to disguise or hide it from you. You may be a little frightening to be around, since so many people have ulterior motives which you see right through. If you are unaware of your medicine power, you may take your keen insights and abilities for granted. Others never do. You may frighten them and reflect their blindness, for you cannot be fooled. Owl medicine people know more about an individual’s inner life than that person knows about herself or himself.
If you have pulled the Owl card, you are being asked to use your powers of keen, silent observation to intuit some life situation. Owl is befriending you and aiding you in seeing the total truth. Owl can bring you messages in the night through dreams or meditation. Pay attention to the signals and omens. The truth always brings further enlightenment.
CONTRARY: If you are operating from Shadow ...
If you have Owl upside-down in your cards, you have been greatly deceived by either yourself or another. Perhaps witchcraft or black magic is being used against you, or maybe you are using witchcraft or sorcery to aid you when you should be praying and asking Great Spirit for guidance. The message is to befriend the darkness inside yourself. Look deeply, and soon the bright light of dawn will illuminate you. Then ask yourself what you are in the dark about. How and by whom are you being deceived? Have you lied to YOURSELF about someone or something? Are you being greatly deceived, or just slightly deceived? Owl tells you to keep an eye on your property and your loved ones. Remember that Owl is always asking “Who?”.

Do not deny the consequences of your actions; own the results of your thoughts, words and deeds, for even thought constitutes action in the energy cycles of the universe; adjust your actions and embrace love; remember these words: "Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

~ WIND ~ 2 ~ The Crossing
You are in a temporary balance which may feel like a state of detente; there is a sense of release from captivity; maintain balance gently and peace can continue; it is time to use all of your wisdom and understanding to assess the situation you now face.

~ FIRE ~ 7 ~ Courage
Conditions intensify; take further risks with greater awareness; you may feel trapped by social expectation - all that you were taught as you were growing up - but now the reality of the past no longer works for you; if you trust your own internal convictions, you will develop strengths and a sense of self-confidence which will work for you and will, in good time, come to be respected by others; if you have the courage of your convictions, all that traps you will fall away.

~ FIRE ~ 10 ~ The CAGE ~
Your spirit feels trapped or oppressed; your heart seems caged; you have had a peak experience, but you are having difficulty applying the results to daily life; the key is to let go of extraneous matter; free yourself of all unnecessary encumbrances; tune into your emotions to realize what should stay in your life and what should go; attuning to your emotions may necessitate an attitudinal change on your part.
