How can I interpret what seeing an owl symbolizes?

Question

I live in an area where I don't usually see owls or large birds. It was a huge owl (a Great Horned), sitting atop a pine tree across the street from my house. It was at about 6:30 pm, already completely dark outside. I had no reason to look up (I was looking at the ground), but my head snapped up and I saw it. When I took a few steps toward the tree (granted there was still a good 40 feet between me and it), it flew right toward me then made an immedate left and flew away. I felt awestruck but not frightened. What's they best way for me to interpret this? Also, what relation do they have to Lilith (Adam's first wife)? Thank you for any information.

Answer 1

It is a sign of honor and wisedom that you will need in an up coming situation. Perhaps even a choice you must make in the near future.Signs and symbols are all around us...older people in the South always knew what was going to happen by read the signs in nature.....it's truly a lost art! For example a gathering of black birds always meaning bad weather is near.

Answer 2

For me Owls mean death. I used to work at a nursing home on night shift. The first time that I saw an owl in the wild within two nights I had found my first dead person. And to this day, when ever I saw an owl, someone that I know would die within two or three days, this stands true to this day if I come across an alive owl. I am not making this up either. I found this out based on my experiences and not the books...I know that some books see them as "wise," but that has never been the case for me.

Answer 3

Black itself is a bad sign because it in many situations pertains to issues that are spiritually depraved. The owl itself can represent one in each and every of those demonic spirit. the clarification it replaced into printed to you as an owl, is by using the fact this variety of spirit operates only like the owl in nature. There are spirits which watch what you're doing interior the conceal of darkness on your maximum inner maximum time. And those spirits convey mutually advice on you to apply this recommendation against you at a later time.

Seeing owls has for many years been supposed to be a sign of death.true, but I have noticed when I see them that no one dies or anything bad happens that I remember anyways., I great white owl used to nest in the middle of a four lane road in this big bunch of bushes,and at least five times i saw it at night flying in the headlights. it was very impressive as it had like 6 or 7 foot wingspans. but never anything bad happened.. we used to be the wildlife people who went out after hurt animals,one night we were called to go get a sick little ole owl out of a tree in someones back yard way in the mountains, and I held the ladder while she went up this very skinny tree to get it, we took all the animals to the human society to have the vet take care of them, it was neat when we would take the hawks and other birds to the mountains to let go,she was at the river banks zoo one night at a meeting..and she was standing there looking at the flamingos. in the lights that was on them she said this great big owl came down and plucked up a young flamingo. and flew off, I would have liked to have seen that!
So anyway, I like to tell my little story's,but the point is that if anyone was going to have bad luck it was us as we saw them all the time.by picking them up.

Peace

I have heard growing up in the southwest, that it is a familiar of a witch, or that someone has cursed you and that this is an evil omen. I have had heard stories of these owl from other people who live here and they say the exact same thing. I guess it just depends in what region of the country you live in as to their meaning.

This article is about the demon Lilith. For other uses, see Lilith (disambiguation).

Lilith (1892), by John CollierLilith is a female Mesopotamian night demon or vampire associated with wind and thought to harm children. She is a popular figure of Neo-Pagan worship. In the Book of Isaiah, Lilith (לִילִית, Standard Hebrew Lilith) is a kind of night-demon or animal, translated as onokentauros in the Septuagint, as lamia "witch" by Hieronymus of Cardia, and as screech owl in the King James Version of the Bible. Lilith also appears as a night demon in the Talmud and Midrash. She is often identified as the mother of all incubi and succubi. Late medieval Jewish legend portrays her as the first wife and equal of Adam. Considering Adam inferior, Lilith left the Garden of Eden of her own free will (Other stories claim Lilith refused to lie under Adam, as she considered that this was too submissive). Adam then bade three angels to find Lilith and bring her back. When Lilith refused, God punished her by commanding that she slay 100 of her children, called Lilin, each day. Lilith is also sometimes considered to be the paramour of Satan.
