The Inuit people perceived the Owl to be linked with wisdom, foresight and the keeper of sacred knowledge. The Owl is a great foreteller and can be observed to identify changes in environment. He is the ruler of the night and the seer of souls; the symbolic meaning of owl revolved around guardianship of the underworlds and it is this relationship that gave the Owl some negative associations with death.
The strength of the Owl would be invoked during ceremonies when prophesy of secret knowledge or a message of the unknown is involved. The Owl has a family connection to sorcerers, as well as companions to seers, supernatural and medicine people. We are all visionaries and what we see.
