The Mystical Owl and me
The Mystical Owl lends me her eyes and her ears for me to see and hear in the dark, to help me see through the veil of illusion, to help me see through the falsehood of glittering diamond hearts. She whispers quietly to my ears, and I listen to her in the most sublime silence.
Tonight, she sings ancient songs of long-forgotten beauty. Her voice echoes throughout the entire forest and penetrates the depths and cavities of Mother Earth’s soil blanket. Too many still fear her coos and see her as a bad omen, but all life in the forest vows in awe to her magic and to her presence as a magnificent animal of wisdom and power. They bow and respect her in the same way a faithful and devoted servant bows and respects a beloved and benevolent Queen.
This magnificent bird of prey rests and sleeps majestically on ancient and mossy oak branches, but she’s always fully alert under the starry dark nights; not much goes unnoticed under her deep, penetrative gaze. When the full moon beams bright through the veil of the night, she comes to life, fully awakened, and she hunts her prey with great timing and precision. She patiently waits for the right moment before silently opening her white wings and diving down to claim her prize. She wants to teach us that good things come only to those who nurture patience and that divine timing is everything. She invites me to create moments of solitude in the forest, so she can connect with my inner eye to energize and activate this powerful intuition portal that lies dormant inside myself.
She’s so ready for this, and so am I.
A ritual takes place, and I feel honoured.
She lands softly on my right shoulder; my whole body shivers as I feel her soft white feathers against my bare skin. She’s right here, right beside me, ready to guide my soul and my heart towards the truth of my Spirit.
INVOCATION:
“Oh, great owl, please lend me your eyes so I can see through the depths of all darkness, and lend me your ears so I can fully hear my soul whispers in the silence. Oh, great owl, teach me a glimpse of your wisdom and your power and become my most faithful mystical companion. You carry so much knowledge; so much truth, and your whistles echo through the mysterious depths of the night. The forest becomes so enchanted with your presence and white beauty, and I am so humbled and devoted to welcome your healing, your power, your ancient wisdom, your magnificence.
Oh, great owl, become my most faithful friend in this earth journey. We chose each other in this lifetime because we both know there’s so much more that meets the eye. Thank you, great owl, for showing me the way into truth.”
