Owl & Spirit?

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.

That's very interesting! I do believe the owl gives me messages at times. I see owl decor, owl clothing, hear them at night at times! My friend just gave me an owl necklace, not aware at the time that there would be meaning behind it. I feel a strong connection with owls. They are beautiful :)

In the book The Secret Language of Signs by Denise Linn she says:
This is a very significant sign, as the owl is a powerful symbol of transformation. If this sign appears for you, there is probably a transformation coming into your life.

And in the Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams & David Carson "Deception. Owl medicine is symbolically associated with clairvoyance, astral projection, and magic, both black and white. Owl is called Night Eagle on several medicine wheels used by American Indian teachers. Traditionally, Owl sits in the East, the place of illumination. Since time immemorial, humanity has been afraid of the night, the dark, and the unseen--waiting fearfully for the first crack of morning light. Conversely, night is Owl's friend."

I hear them too. I live beside a park and they sit in the trees closest to my window and hoot all night. I have to be honest, I find it really annoying, there are dozens of other houses around the park that they can go bother. But owls in my country aren't like normal owls, they're native to my country. We call them Moreporks because when they "hoot" it sounds like they're saying More Pork.
Imagine trying to go to sleep and all you can hear is "More Pork, More Pork". Not fun.
