Chit-Chat on the Road

Nah....owls are harbingers of death and keepers of wisdom; would need NO dye job, a single parrot feather stuck to my chin just below my beak would be sufficient to ward off any who thought an owl did not belong on a pirate's shoulder, yar

 

Interesting according to Greek and Roman lore the Owl is the harbinger of Death. In other cultures the Owl is revered for example:

• Australia: Aborigines believe bats represent the souls of men and Owls the souls of women. Owls are therefore sacred, because your sister is an Owl - and the Owl is your sister.
  
• Brittany: an Owl seen on the way to the harvest is the sign of a good yield.
  
• Greenland: the Inuit see the Owl as a source of guidance and help.
  
• Romania: the souls of repentant sinners flew to heaven in the guise of a Snowy Owl
• Russia: hunters carry Owl claws so that, if they are killed, their souls can use them to climb up to Heaven.
  
  Tartar shamen of Central Russia could assume Owl shapes.
  Kalmucks hold the Owl to be sacred because one once saved the life of Genghis Khan.
• Samoa: the people are descended from an Owl.
• Siberia: the Owl is a helpful spirit.
• Wales: an Owl heard among houses means an unmarried girl has lost her virginity.
  If a woman is pregnant and she alone hears an owl hoot outside her house at night then her child will be blessed.
  In Welsh mythology, Blodeuedd, a woman made from flowers, is cursed by her husband's uncle, turning her into an owl. "You are never to show your face to the light of day, rather you shall fear other birds; they will be hostile to you, and it will be their nature to maul and molest you wherever they find you."

All of the cultures seem to agree that the Owl is a symbol for wisdom. That is interesting.

 

Remember, the Greek Goddess Athena had an owl for her closest companion. Thank you for the wonderful information my friend; some I knew, some I did not. That be right nice treasure you be givin' me, yar.

 

Of course I do and Zeus required her to send her Owl, Nyctimene, to help Peseus to save Andromeda. She could not bear to be parted from the owl so she had Vulcan create a mechanical owl to send in its place. Owls are not the only wise ones, some of us old cats are well read also.
