These fascinating creatures have a long history of symbolism. In Ancient Egypt, the Owl was said to aid in the transport of souls into the next life and was thus considered a protector of the dead. Perhaps because Owls are nocturnal and can see in the dark, they were considered the rulers of the night and secret keepers. This was also part of First Nations and Native American cultures who revered the owl's ability to foretell weather conditions and invoked the spirit of the owl when secret knowledge was required.
In Ancient Greece, the Owl symbolized knowledge and intelligence which in turn signified wealth and status. The Owl was the creature associated with Athena, goddess of learning.
In Africa & Australia the owls were the familiar pets of medicine men, seers & sorcerers and were the transporters of secrets. European culture also signifies the owl as the companion of witches.
