Owl Medicine for the Spirit Ritual Recipes

    • Society & Culture

Imagine an owl. Did you feel a sense of apprehension or foreboding? No surprise. Owls have long been associated with death. Or, did you picture Harry Potter's owl, Hedwig? Beliefs about owls are contradictory because the owl is the symbol of death, and wisdom, and magic. 
At the heart of owl medicine is the ability to discern the truth. 
In this episode, you'll learn how to use a paper template of a feather in celebrating baby blessings and birthdays, funerals and memorials, and how to find answers in your dreams. 
This episode is the second in a series about birds of prey and how they can inspire rituals.
