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.
