The Approaching Messengers

A group of owls is approaching. Without doubting the importance of the messages they carry, the owls confidently cross the forest. Some of them have been sent on errands by the Sorcerer himself. Anyone can ask the owls to deliver a message, but only the bird itself decides whether it wants to do so or not. If you have already been sent an owl but did not pay proper attention to its message, they will no longer deal with you in the future. Owls do not carry mundane letters—crows gladly handle that task—so if you see an owl approaching you, stand up and prepare to receive the message with due respect.

Meaning in Readings

The appearance of owls in a spread indicates imminent news. This card also speaks of increased energetic potential regarding any activity toward which your will and intentions are directed. Events are accelerating and a positive resolution or reward is approaching. Look up!

Brief Meaning

Incoming news and messages. Speed. Striving toward a goal.

If You Look Closely

Among these owls are two tawny-brown ones, one small owl, one short-eared owl, and two barn owls. The official name of the short-eared owl is Asio flammeus, which is also used for summoning it.
