In some Latin countries owls are bad omens. It is said to bring death to newborns. One of my sisters used to be protected with so many amulets, charms and the most common house items. As a baby, they used to put scissors under her pillow as a method of protection, and more when owls were around. Saturday (may 2, 2009) there was an owl sleeping in the front window of my house. When my mother saw the owl, she panicked. She wanted the owl away. The first thing that came to her mind, was that my baby sister is not baptized, and the presence of the owl is a threat. She told my older sister to get rid of it. My sister was excited. Her comment was "I wonder if I summoned it". But, she did not wanted to wake it up, instead she took a picture of it; at the moment she did that the owl opened its eyes. So, she told a kid to call animal protection. That was it. They took the owl. Well, my question is "what does an owl means to you as a practitioner?" or " Would you have kept the owl?" [In some cultures owls stand for wisdom.]
