FTW-- OWLS are everywhere!
Today I was at a home furnishing discount store outlet (you probably know the one) and EVERYTHING seemed to have an owl emblazoned on it. I actually think owls are cool so at first I was like "oh, cool." Then I saw how MANY owls were gracing the various elements intended for the typical american home and something just felt "off" about it.

I saw vases craftily shaped to hint at an owl (rounded body, actual beak and eyes), owl embellished dishes, owl bowls, owl candles, owl bed and table linens, owl statuettes.

It was un-nerving enough for me to start a thread about it and I never start threads here.

It's very odd IMO....I get that there are trends and such. But something just felt a bit sinister about it.

Okay, just had to share that one. Carry on! (and/or let me know if you concur)

I love owls. When I was about 5, that is all I drew. They are awesome symbols.

Owls represent wisdom.

When you think, speak and remember God, perhaps an owl will hoot for you!

Do as the Buddha would do and see it for what it is, materialism in the forms of owls. That's it. Anything else is pure ignorance.

Re: FTW-- OWLS are everywhere!
The Messianic Redemption will be ushered in by a person, a human leader, a descendant of Kings David and Solomon, who will reinstate the Davidic royal dynasty. According to tradition, Moshiach will be wiser than Solomon, and a prophet around the level of Moses.

Ever since the destruction of the Holy Temple, in every generation there is an individual, a scion of the House of David, who has the potential to be the Moshiach. If at any moment the Jews are worthy of redemption, this person would be directed from Above to assume the role of the redeemer.

Re: FTW-- OWLS are everywhere!
According to Native American legend, owls are an EVIL HARBINGER! Check this out...
In the culture of the Uto-Aztec tribe, the Hopi, taboos surround owls, which are associated with sorcery and other evils. The Aztecs and Maya, along with other Natives of Mesoamerica, considered the owl a symbol of death and destruction. In fact, the Aztec god of death, Mictlantecuhtli, was often depicted with owls. There is an old saying in Mexico that is still in use:[32] Cuando el tecolote canta, el indio muere ("When the owl cries/sings, the Indian dies"). The Popol Vuh, a Mayan religious text, describes owls as messengers of Xibalba (the Mayan "Place of Fright").[33] The belief that owls are messengers and harbingers of the dark powers is also found among the Hočągara (Winnebago) of Wisconsin.[34] When in earlier days the Hočągara committed the sin of killing enemies while they were within the sanctuary of the chief's lodge, an owl appeared and spoke to them in the voice of a human, saying, "From now on the Hočągara will have no luck." This marked the beginning of the decline of their tribe.[35] An owl appeared to Glory of the Morning, the only female chief of the Hočąk nation, and uttered her name. Soon afterwards she died.[36][37] People often allude to the reputation of owls as bearers of supernatural danger when they tell misbehaving children, "the owls will get you."[38] Also, in the native Cherokee culture, as well as many other Native American cultures, owls are a very bad omen.

Re: FTW-- OWLS are everywhere!
They are EVERWHERE. Every store has new owl stuff. I noticed this last year and it's gotten worse. There's definately an occult connection. I know it.

For the record, I have nothing against the actual animal. They are beautiful and fascinating.

Re: FTW-- OWLS are everywhere!
A harbinger. Yes, that is what I felt. Foreboding, a sense of something impending--and hidden yet in-your-face.

I'm walking around this cheerful home-stuff store and BAM! I'm hit with this weird feeling. Almost like I saw something I wasn't supposed to see.

I agree owls are beautiful and interesting animals. But there was something about the *context* in which this hit me that indicated another meaning. Quite unlike the 'noble and wise animal' meaning.

Take that and chew on it for a while. See if you see anything. Who knows?

Re: FTW-- OWLS are everywhere!
The Rebbe, identifies Moshiach as the one who stands behind the wall. Quite simply, the son of David is outside looking in. This awkward partition is the first “hint” that the son of David appears detached from the Jewish community before he is revealed.

--------------------------------------------------
Moshiach who is represented by the number "8" remains in hiding separated by only a fence. He peeks through the windows and peers through the crevices not wanting to be noticed. Why is he depicted as one who hides himself from the Jewish people? Is there something about his appearance that might cause embarrassment or that could bring condemnation?

-------------------------------------------------
Why is Moshiach concealed? Could it be that he is hidden among the Christians is present day Edom? It's any ones guess what may have triggered the separation but one thing is for certain, in the latter days just prior to Moshiach‘s inauguration the son of David is a resident of Edom.

 Quoting: Gavrillo


That is one perspective. The other is that the owl is God's creation, and there are many animals and natural systems which activate and liven at NIGHT! My perspective is that is good to see through the darkness - even when our eyes are closed we can still see light, so do not let the darkness cripple you with fear.

BTW, I do not mean to hint at the occult garbage in any way. God is our provider, protector, light and love.

I have 3 barn owls in my back yard, they are fucking invisible if you don't see them flying to where they are. They are also fearless one of them I guess got curious and landed about 20 feet away from me once and just sat there a minute and took off. They look super intelligent if you've ever seen their pure black eyes, also something unnerving about their eyes.

(9) The kippod (JPS, AV, "bittern") and the kippoz (JPS, "arrowsnake," AV, "great owl") are mentioned in the account of the destruction of Edom, where various birds lived and nested (Isa. 34:11, 15). Associated as its name is with the meaning of rolling oneself up into a ball, the kippod has been identified with the short-eared owl (Asio flamneus) which adopts a rotund posture and lives near swamps and in ruined places, and hence Isaiah (14:23) prophesies that Babylonia would be made into "a possession for the kippod and pools of water." The hedgehog is also called kippod or koppad in the Mishnah (Shab. 5:4), because it rolls itself up into a ball.

(10) The lilit (JPS, "night monster," AV, "screech owl"), which also occurs in Isaiah's prophecy about Edom (34:14), refers to a species of bird (cf. Nid. 24b), the word, connected with laylah ("night"), denoting a nocturnal bird, perhaps the tawny owl (Strix aluco). In the aggadah it is the name of a night-demon (see *Lilith).

The sa'ir, mentioned alongside the lilit, is apparently also a species of owl. This word is now applied to the smallest of the owls, the Otus scopus. Another view holds that it refers to a species of demon (cf. Lev. 17; II Chron. 11:15)





Revelation 18:2 KJV "And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."

The owl or moloch was worshiped by The Phoenicians and Canaanites in the old testament. They killed their children and sacrificed them to Moloch.

The owl/moloch idolatry cult still exists today, see bohemian grove exposed.

Owls are just lethal hunters is all. So happens to be the American symbol the bald eagle is a lethal predator as well.

A friend of mine just sent this today :)

“White Owl Flies Into and Out of the Field”

“Coming down out of the freezing sky
with its depths of light,
like an angel, or a Buddha with wings,
it was beautiful, and accurate,
striking the snow and whatever was there
with a force that left the imprint
of the tips of its wings - five feet apart -
and the grabbing thrust of its feet,
and the indentation of what had been running
through the white valleys of the snow -
and then it rose, gracefully,
and flew back to the frozen marshes
to lurk there, like a little lighthouse,
in the blue shadows -
so I thought:
maybe death isn't darkness, after all,
but so much light wrapping itself around us -
as soft as feathers -
that we are instantly weary of looking, and looking,
and shut our eyes, not without amazement,
and let ourselves be carried,
as through the translucence of mica,
to the river that is without the least dapple or shadow,
that is nothing but light - scalding, aortal light -
in which we are washed and washed
out of our bones.”

- Mary Oliver
