Yes indeed, the owl in Ancient Egypt was depicted very rare and only in the context of death or mourning. Beside this, this bird is mostly used as an hieroglyph with the phonetic value "m". 𓅓 - it is the only bird that was depicted in the hieroglyphes en face, which means with the head directed to the viewer, to put an emphasize on the eye.

thank you for this @laylahsophia, i didnt know that :)

Very interesting. I have seen the Owl being used to represent Lilith as well as Ishtar and Innana. Just breaking it down, the owl is a fierce predator, is nocturnal, and has big eyes. Put all together and you have a symbol of hidden knowledge that can be dangerous to those who are unaware of it. I've followed you on here and looking forward to more posts like this!

u r right @jeremycrow, it is possible that the owl and its symbol is older than we know :)

Great research - and very well-written. Thanks for sharing this info.

nice post. Good story
