you might have noticed the owls i have been posting. well, owls have been on my mind. my friend and i taxidermied a male and female owl in 2012. she allied with the receptive female and i allied with the initiating magic of the male.
owls are hunters who see in the dark. owl medicine is portal magic. the owl is right next to the opening of creation both of death and life. The female ushers the receptive side catching you through change and the male initiates change - bring forth and invoking change.
a person wielding this magic has a responsibility to see the opening of change. that part of you that is healing and breaking free all at the same time. the humanity of our experience is to maintain the momentum of growth. when we stay stagnant we are resistant to our own learning and growth, trapped in "this again" repetitive loop thought.
when folks are stuck in a rut, the owl's ability to see into the darkest places with a 360° perspective offers and initiates great and radical change.
the day i got the owls i asked for a dream. the female wanted to be on the mantel of my friends home, she honors the female with the utmost regard. the male owl had a different request. in my dream it came through the darkness of my imagination with the head of my grandmother. it asked me to bury it's owl's head with her ashes so they could unify and ally together to support me in my work as a healer. but first i needed to partake in the owl medicine myself. deep, intense, confronting medicine to say the least. everyone who came into contact with this male owl felt the radical implications of it's initiating work. and in after the initiation they were able to see what held them back and step more powerfully toward their optimal life.
my own personal experience instigated great shifts everywhere; familial, work, home, and relationship. everything changed, the lesson i took from it was to let go of familiar habits and embrace new and UPLeveled tools.
today, i buried the head with my grandmothers ashes. a shamanic friend came with me to hold space and my lovers dog came to watch the radius. the ritual was fluid. when completed everyone had a sense of lightness. a completion with the experience of a death and a rebirth.
now i walk my path with a new ally. i look forward to learning more and sharing with you this new magic.
