Owl Card

Inspiration: The sacred owl is a very powerful bird. It’s abilities are far reaching and very diverse. Many Native Americans tribes are wary of the owl, but for me the owl was always a helper and friend. Guiding and protecting me through events that could have been tragic. Recently, the owl has been very active in my life and I wanted to wear a symbol or image of it. As I searched for earrings and necklaces, all I found were cute or comic images trivializing the power and sacredness of the owl, so I create my own. I hope you can feel the power of the owl in the image I created. Artist: Paula Bidwell of Native Talisman Art is an American Indian artist, jeweler and author.
