Throughout my entire pregnancy, Evelyn was an owl. I don't know why, but I had a very strong feeling she would have a connection to owls.
In the area of animal totems, owls represent the feminine, the moon, and the night. It is the bird of magic, prophecy and wisdom. Evie has definitely taken after the nocturnal aspect of owls. Also, she might be a screech owl. LOL. As she gets older Evie will discover her true animal totems, but an owl is a pretty good starter totem! Oh, and for those interested, my animal totems are the cat and hawk. Eric's totems are badger, snake, hawk, and tiger.
A fantastic book to learn about animal totems and how to find your own is Ted Andrews' Animal-Speak: The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small. The owl in the picture is a gift from Evie's Great-Gramma Burns.
Owls are also Athena's creatures. The Goddess of war and wisdom. So there.
