Oh, and they're also guardians of a sort. I found this out just a few weeks ago when an almost complete stranger (to me, known to my mother) walked up and told me I have an owl sitting on my shoulder. Funny, because before that I was told a wolf stood beside me.
A wolf and an owl, all I need is a dolphin and I'll have land, air and water surrounding me.
