"Owl totem animal is an old soul, a keeper of ancient wisdom, a gatekeeper to the Akashic realm, he can peer through to see the secrets and the agendas of others, he is a prophet and can see, hear and feel events before they transpire". 

Owl watches from the heights of the canopy of the forest, he awaits the perfect moment and in complete silence he makes his move to get his prey.

Owl spirit animal teaches us to use our discretion when sharing, share only when it is for the highest good of all, as the great secrets must not be manipulated by those coming to you in deception or guise, you must practice diligent discernment in every circumstance.

Further messages from the Owl totem shows us that when you are in need of retreat, go to your private sanctuary, perhaps a treehouse where you can sit alone in meditation, and quiet observation with a panoramic view of all that surrounds you once again.

Owl symbolizes the need of this quiet observation of all that is around you, all that your desires encompass ~ watch and listen ... he encourages us to meditate in the stillness of the night ~ for this is when secrets and powerful messages are revealed to you.
