Owl - hanging art doll
Quite a few pagan goddesses are associated and depicted with and guided by owls. Owl is sacred to Ancient Greek goddesses Athena and associated with Hecate. The Roman Minerva is often depicted with an owl by her side, just like Lilith with origins in Mesopotamian and Jewish folklore. Hawaiian Mākuahine, Slavic Morana, Lakshmi in Hindu mythology are just a few others.
In the spiritual worldview of Native Americans the owl is often considered a spirit guide or messenger. My local - Latvian - folklore tells that seeing an owl is a sign of death - so, transition from one state to another, the end in one realm and the beginning in another one. In Celtic beliefs, owls are considered to be guardians of the otherworld and are often associated with death and prophecy. They are seen as guides for souls transitioning from one realm to another, navigating the boundary between life and death. The owl itself can be seen as the spirit of the dead or a messenger of the supernatural.
Owls have long been associated with wisdom, knowledge and insight. In various cultures, owls are seen as creatures that can guide towards deeper understanding and truth. As nocturnal creatures, owls symbolize intuition, the unknown, and the mystical realms, they are associated with the ability to navigate the subconscious, protect and guide through darker periods of life characterized by uncertainty, change and difficult transitions. Owls are seen as protectors and they are thought to guard not just individuals, but also sacred spaces.
This is a 20cm/7.8” tall hanging owl doll. Made of preloved and recycled fabric and jewellery. The head is hand-sculpted and hand-painted. One of a kind hanging Owl art doll that will never get repeated the same.
