Castle
Castles represent grand ambitions, defense mechanisms, and the fortified self. A magnificent castle may symbolize aspirations for greatness, while a castle under siege reflects feeling attacked or defensive. Exploring a castle suggests discovering the many rooms of your psyche. A castle on a hill represents elevated goals and the effort required to reach them. A crumbling castle suggests that defenses are no longer serving you.
Owl
Owls represent wisdom, the ability to see through darkness and deception, and access to hidden knowledge. As nocturnal creatures, they symbolize the ability to navigate the unconscious mind. In Greek mythology, the owl was Athena's companion. However, in some cultures, owls are considered harbingers of death or bad news. The owl's ability to turn its head 270 degrees symbolizes seeing all perspectives.
