owl superstitions of native americans,..does anyone know about this?

Answer 1

Owl Symbolism
The owl has a special feature: it cannot move its pupils. For focus, it has to turn its head.

The pupils in the eyes of the owl thus resemble the symbol of the Great Spirit, a symbol found from all around the world from all cultures and times. It is the dot in the circle, the symbol of the Great Spirit. What is the origin of this symbol?

The origin of this symbol has been long forgotten, yet, The (W)Hole Book on Mimbres Pots by Dr. Bara H. Fischer-Loveland describes its origin in us and why it is holy: it signifies the energy gate that directly connects us with God. We leave our body at death through this gate to return to God.

When an owl is seen, some ancient people have believed that the eyes of the owl as a reminder of the energy gate, the Spirit Gate, are a sign that someone will die, leaving through this gate. This belief was also maintained in old Germany.

You may want to learn more about this Spirit Gate symbol and other ancient symbols and how they relate to our energy in the illustrated (W)Hole Book on Mimbres Pots by Dr. Bara H. Fischer-Loveland, original research. This book will soon be available as e-book at

The Mimbres or Mimbrenos were an ancient people, living in the area of Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico around 1,000 AD. They burried their dead with a beautiful, artistically painted pot on their heads, knocking a hole in the pot, puzzling the experts! The (W)Hole Book tells the story of the famous pots and reveals the sybolism of the (W)Hole, the Spirit Gate, and many more symbols from original research.

some Native American tribes believe the owl is a bringer of death. other Native American tribes believe the owl to be the opposite. Suggest you determine which Tribe of The People you are interested in discovering the answer to and research that particular Tribe's belief system.

when the owl appeared when these two different tribes met there was some very interesting cultural exchanges.

Answer 5

I understand that the Choctaw Nation of Northern Texas and Oklahoma have a belief similar to the Mexican belief of the Lechuza.

The Choctaw believe in what they call a ''a Witch-Owl,'' a shaman or witch with the ability to shape-shift into an owl. Mexican people along the Rio Grande River in South Texas believe in Lechuzas. Lechuza is one of several words which mean owl in Spanish; however, whenever people along the border mean owl, they will use the term tecolote or buey rather than Lechuza. When the word ''Lechuza'' is used they are referring to a shape-shifting witch capable of changing into a large owl.

In Dinè(Navajo) culture, hearing an owl hoot is equivalent to the mythological belief that Thanatos carries the souls of the dead into the afterlife. Although many misinformed Dinè(Navajo) still believe that it's bad luck, it really isn't. For those that believe in traditional ways, it is a good thing. It means that you have lead a good life in this world and have earned the right to live in the sky with Jóhonaa'èí, "The One Who Rules the Day", and Tl'ehonaa'èí, "The One Who Rules the Night", to be cared for by them.
