Owl Medicine teaches us how to embrace our personal darkness without fear. It's a symbol for wisdom because Owl can see that which others cannot, which is the essence of true wisdom. Where others are deceived, Owl sees and knows what is there. This medicine counsels one to look far beyond the facade of actions of others. When you trust your intuitions and perceptions others will be unable to deceive you, their hidden agendas will be as clear as a flower in sunlight. Thus, capacity to see beyond deceit and the masks others wear.  

Owl medicine for me the most important is that they see in the dark - which is what we all need right now - and people who carry the owl medicine see through the lies that are told to them - they also have a hard time remaining in denial because they can see through the lies they tell themselves.

Wings have many meanings for many people - most of the meaning is derived from religious or cultural ideas (angels, transcendence, freedom from the world, etc.). When we use them, it is with the intent to inspire an overview. Like the eagle or the hawk, who fly high above the earth is not there to escape it but to have a broader view. With an overview of the reality, we may better navigate the terrain upon which we are grounded. 

The wings are the elevators that catch the thermals of higher thought that give us a vantage of the overview – seeing from there we see the interconnection of all things – understanding brings forgiveness.

"I can see why one might think of wings in terms of ascension although it's not a word we would use, because it implies a sort of going to heaven or something like that. For some wings represent angels, transcendence, etc. For us we view the evolution of consciousness not as higher but as expanded. So, the wings, while they take you high as an eagle or a hawk flies, you are not so much leaving the world/earth but integrating it from an expanded perception." 

See your self beyond the years of your conditioning … beyond your addictions … beyond the disappointment … beyond the pain of being Human …in this dualistic mortal paradigm … beyond fear.
As the hawk soars above the level of mundane reality to see the overview … fly with her.
Circle above your life … above your identity …
adopting a broader vision of your Earth drama.
The higher you go the smaller it all becomes 
as you begin to see the essence of others and of yourself …
to experience the interconnectedness 
of all life.
