Owl
Owls became symbolic of intelligence because it was thought that they
presaged events. On the other hand, because of their nocturnal existence
and ominous hooting sounds, owls have also been symbols associated with
the occult and the otherworldly. Their secretive habits, quiet flight,
and haunting calls have made them the objects of superstition and even
fear in many parts of the world. In the Middle Ages the little owl was
used as a symbol of the “darkness” before the coming of Christ; by
further extension it was used to symbolize a nonbeliever who dwells in
this darkness.
