"As we learn to listen to Nature, we break down our out-worn perceptions. We find that magical creation is the force of life inherent in all things. And it is this, above all else, that Nature teaches to those that will learn from her." - Ted Andrews, Animal Speak

Owl Birth Totem by Kate Dardine

"The Heart of Owl" is the seventh painting in my series of the twelve birth totem animals. Owl is the birth totem animal for those born November 23 - December 21. Click here to see more in the series.

If Owl is your Totem, an incredible gift has been bestowed to you.

You may have abilities to know things that others do not know. It may be likely you have very strong intuitive abilities that can be fine-tuned. Further, you may be a strong-willed person, or have a protective side to you and are mentally sharp.

Owl sightings may be messages for you to develop your education further. On the other hand, the Owl may be trying to tell you to develop your intuition further.

Owls also show themselves as a sign of warning. You simply need to pay close attention to people around you. Owls are incredibly perceptive. Use your powers of perception around new people you may meet. Learn to trust your instincts about people.

If Owl is your Totem, thank it for its willingness to guide you through its shadowy realm to the other side of promise and joy.
