Spiritual Meaning Of Seeing A Dead Owl

Dead Owl – Spiritual Meanings:

It is the end of a chapter

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says.” – Revelation 3:22

I had only seen a dead owl once.

The energy around me changed in a way that felt that definitely this wasn’t an accident.

An owl passing away is a challenge to shed what does not empower me any longer and listen more closely to the shift within the death of this wise animal.

It is about the end

“All things are full of labor; man cannot express it.” – Ecclesiastes 1:8

Mortality and work go hand in hand in the spiritual.

When I found the dead owl, I felt a charged air of inevitability and butterfly wings in my stomach.

Death was for the ancient Egyptians a labor, not an extinction, nor its brute end.

The death of that owl told me my spiritual growth was complete, even if I could not yet see the manifestation.

I was crawling through some emotional/spiritual stuff, silently and away from everyone else… like an owl works at night.

This was the indicator that my journey was to be over today.

The dead owl spoke to me suggesting I be patient and wait for the renewed growth.

I think spiritual evolution requires these moments of closure.

I choose to see it as the start of something new as opposed to be in mourning for what is now gone.

It is about a lack of clarity

“Where there is no vision, the people perish.” – Proverbs 29:18

When I found a dead owl, I felt that it served as the symbol for having my own gift temporarily taken away from me.

The death owl is simply validation to slow down, clear our minds and remember what we are doing this for!

Without the owl’s vision, I have to learn a new way of looking at things — with my heart.

The dead owl is a warning for me to look more closely at the distractions that dull my inner vision.

It is a moment to teach me a lesson by meditating, pulling myself into the ground or getting spiritual guidance.

It is about a new cycle of life

“To everything there is a season.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1

A dead owl and realizing is part of the life cycle.

The owl is just another of the many symbols I have come across which tell me that enough changes have been made.

While this might sound like a negative development, it also did not seem to be the case.

Wisdom

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.” – Proverbs 9:10

These birds symbolize wisdom, yet their death represents a deeper level.

I have seen people get stuck at a certain level of wisdom to never rise beyond disrobed understanding in their spiritual journey.

The death of the owl acts, it an esoteric sign for me to bridge in consciousness.

A dead owl can represent the calling to welcome in higher wisdom even if it is all very uncomfortable.

The owl is a voice of wisdom that never wants to be static.

It is about attachments

“Love without attachment is light.” – Norman O. Brown

Death, and by that I mean not just a literal one but more often some kind of death symbolism, requires we look at our attachments.

Over time, the visual of a dead owl became this parable for me to let go and move on from aspects no longer serving my interests.

In my spirit, I know his death has given me notice that I must stop focusing on the wrong aspect of superficiality.

The dead owl is clearing the way for me to unattach myself from things I no longer need in my life.

It is a signal telling me that nothing lasts forever.

Enlightenment

“Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.” – Lao Tzu

Owls are nocturnal animals, which makes them the wisdom of the night and in tune with unseen.

The night ends with the death of the owl, announcing a new day.

On a spiritual level, it would suggest that my shadow work / introspection time period has been done.

Also, I am beginning to emerge into understanding and expression.

When we are in this transition phase, it is hard.

I know that now and accept it as part of life.

When the owl dies in this way, it indicates a new spiritual awakening taking place.

I also feel more aligned with my higher self, more in tune with the divine and a better ability to bring my insights spiritually down into the physical.

The dead owl, reminds me what I learned in the darkness and to step into the light herd first.

Fear

“I will fear no evil, for you are with me.” – Psalm 23:4

Death is transformation.

Seeing a dead owl is an invitation to transcend fear.

And then, that even when I do finally face my fears, I have nothing to fear — simply transformation waiting on the other side.

Karmic cycle

“For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” – Philippians 1:21

Owls have a special connection to life and death. I simply dwell on how cyclical life and the soul’s existence are as a result of their passing.

In these moments I realize that old karmic patterns are breaking away.

I cannot work with energy from the past and continue to sidestep positive change to my soul evolution.

As is tradition, the death of an owl is a sign that one cycle has come to an end and new spiritual gates are open.

The death of the owl was symbolic to me that my soul had been set free, finally able to move freely and unimpeded away from the chains of old burdens.

At this point, I should accept the new step of my souls way with open heart and mind.

This is the passage where the cycle of life ends with the death of an owl, and a new one begins in a world that illuminates her path.
