Mr. Cooper's Occult Souvenir?

I'll keep this short and sweet and won't elaborate too much but I would like your opinion please.

I've seen a lot of Owl Symbolism lately involving recent events and I'm a bit alarmed by it, especially when the Owl is primarily associated with death and bad omens.

Then of course we have the all too familiar Bohemian Grove elitist event with the Cremation of Care "Ceremony" with child effigies being offered as a mock sacrifice to the Giant Moloch/Owl statue on site.

I'll post just one photo of the creepiest thing I've seen on the news in a long time. What do you think?

Owl Mythology

It certainly looks like an adults attempt to capture the simplicity of a childs drawing/painting

What was Cooper talking about?

How ridiculous it is to believe in conspiracy theories and idolize giant owls?

The choice of an owl to draw just seems ominous to me.

You're right. I'll go back to sleep now after I put my tinfoil hat back on.

I seem to remember it being said that the child loved under the sea stuff and they showed pictures that had been done of sea life and so it really surprised me that the picture being handed over was that of an owl rather than say an octopus or something aquatic.

Bear in mind that Owls are also symbolic of knowledge and wisdom in Western mythology, which is why they are associated with Athena, as well as being guardians of the entrance to the underworld. Many of the ancients believed that knowledge was an essential aspect of successfully traversing the underworld and reaching the 'otherside'. So all connotations are not negative.

In terms of Bohemia Grove and the Cremation of Care ceremony I look at it like this, Moloch is a Bull deity, but they ascribe that name to an owl figure, are they saying that wisdom is 'bull'? I kind of think so, it seems to fit with that whole frat boy mentality if you ask me. It is an 'in' joke of privilege in my eyes.

In short, I'm not sure what you find so creepy about the picture...

I love the Owl when it's a symbol of knowledge. It just alarms me that most, not all, but most mythology concerning owls associates with bad omens, death, and children. That's what I find so creepy. It's such a big picture of the owl too.

I personally am pretty sensitive to the presence of evil and my "spidey" sense tingled when I saw this.

Also, I want to point out that the left eye of the owl picture is red and has a blue "thing" above it. The left eye symbolism is strong here too. Just pointing that out.

Great observation. Thanks for providing valuable insight.

Although, they could have just drawn an Octopus too.

I agree. Why should anyone be creeped-out by a child's water color painting of an owl? I would find it immensely more disturbing if it were a painting of a massacre or some similar violent scene.

You're certainly not obligated to be creeped out by my speculations.

View this list again if you have not already and you might see my point of view. I'm certain you're well versed on the topic of occult symbology?

Also, this has nothing to do with Freemasonry, to make that clear. I was born with hip dysplasia and received medical treatment free of charge at a Shriner's hospital. I know that Mason's do good. They just get a bad rap from people that lack knowledge.

There are about three references to Owls being associated with knowledge. The rest are, death, destruction, underworld, witches, curses, danger towards children and bad luck. In my opinion, that's creepy and foretelling.

Do you think the elementary school child who painted this read that page or had any notion of the ancient symbology of the owl?

Yes, which is all the more reason why none of this has any relevance to me. Symbols are only what you make of them and have no affect other than what you personally attribute to them.

I respect your point of view and applaud your contribution to this thread. My view is obviously at the other end of the thought spectrum.

The reason I made this thread is because I was caught off guard by my emotional response to the picture itself. I was quite sickened by it only because of what I knew of different cultures and religions concerning what the owl represents, as well as Left eye of Ra (Thoth) and it's concerning the judgement of the dead and magic.

Now, that is of course my response.

Which is my point. You knew this. What about the child who drew it? I cannot honestly believe that an elementary school child had any inkling of the owl's cultural and religious symbolism.

I don't doubt at all that a child would know not what owl symbolism is. The average child does not normally draw an owl. However, this is of course based on the "average" example of a kids drawing. (Horse, typical house with family - tree and sun in background, etc.)
