Description
The Owl Antique Bronze Charm Earrings stand for wisdom. The wise owl has long been a character in children’s books and stories. It the one bird that stands out from the rest. It’s association with the night makes it unique in the bird kingdom.
The nature-loving native Americans saw the owl as the guardian of sacred knowledge like the patterns of the weather and the secrets of the afterlife. Some tribes believed the sighting of an owl as a sign that their ancestors are sending them messages or warnings. If you visiting the north-west of the USA, you will often find owls as a totem pole crest.
In Celtic culture, the owl is a warrior and guardian of honour. The wisdom of the owl warrior gives it the knowledge of the underworld. Their belief also saw the owl as a defender of honour and truth. Since owls are nocturnal, meaning they can see in the dark, they are the perfect messenger between our world and the higher realm. This is perhaps why Celtic tradition believed that owls knew the way to the underworld.
Owls are also a symbol of the ancient Celtic fertility goddess. This is why we see the owl symbol in jewellery, clothing, knotwork and household items.
