Hello steemit friends in this opportunity I want to share the meaning of a tattoo that is very interesting and would be a good choice for your first tattoo This is the tattoo of an owl.
The owl is an animal that has been closely linked to the mythical world. This is due to its nocturnal character and a little to its intimidating appearance
Over the years the Owl as a symbol in a tattoo has been connected to education and wisdom, In the Native American tribes it was believed that this animal was the one that protected or protected the sacred knowledge, so this has been considered a symbol of intelligence and this is still a trend
For other indigenous cultures this was considered a symbol that reflected bad luck, but nevertheless most of the cultures have linked it with the spiritual and cosmic world, due to this it becomes a very appreciated animal
This is a very wise and very clever and intelligent bird, it can also be said that it is a hunter animal
In ancient Greece this was considered the mascot of the Goddess Athena, and this became a sacred symbol for these.
It was said that if an owl was flying over the soldiers before a battle it was a sign that the Goddess favored them and victory was very close
In the middle ages in Europe, this did not have very good popularity, he was associated with sorcerers with witches, and because of his nocturnal habits they were badly seen, they also posed in cemeteries and in dark places because of this at this time they were feared and hated
One of the most common beliefs about the owl is that it offers protection to the dead, and is also known as the angel of death, all this because of the belief that the owl is so wise and strong that it is able to communicate with people who died a long time ago
And it was also believed that dreaming about this animal was a meaning of death
In ancient Babylon these were used to protect pregnant women from evil spirits but not physically, women were placed an amulet with the image of an owl, and these gave protection
No doubt this is an incredible animal that has been gaining its fame in the world of tattoos due to its multiple positive meanings and also because they are a very nice model to leave them embodied in your skin
An Owl tattoo can mean many things, these can represent the magical world, the comfort that exists in the mysterious side of life, freedom, good luck, death, spirituality, wisdom and intelligence, secrets, transformation Mysticism
Among many other positive meanings although it also has some negative meanings we can not deny that this is an amazing bird and certainly a very good choice for a tattoo
I hope you liked it
