Mr. Cooper's Occult Souvenir?

I read about owls last year. I had two incredible experiences where an owl landed on a tree branch above me & just stayed a while. It was a trip but super cool.

Anyway, I started to read about them and what I interpreted for my situation was use wisdom, use knowledge.

Maybe they could be saying, in a sly way, use wisdom, use knowledge???

Don't know what to think.

Is there another blatant references to owls - other than this instance?

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.)

Who knows what the circumstances were? Maybe they had 'Woodland Critter' day and everyone drew something different.

Or Woodsy Owl was at the school promoting environmental awareness?

I ask this a lot and never get a good answer, so I hope you will break the mold. What affect has seeing this symbolism had on you personally? How has it changed your day to day activities, or life?

I ask this because I am curious as to how seeing a symbol, or even a picture that resembles a symbol can physically affect a person.

thanks for your input.

the owl is a favorite symbol of the reptillians.

The thought crossed my mind but I was not sure if they stilled used him.

Great question. First of all, my response to seeing it is based on my knowledge of what the owl is symbolic of. Athena and the association to wisdom, as others have pointed out, is one great example of a "positive" association to the Owl.

But, from my research, there are far more evil connections to the Owl than good. So, when I saw Mr. Cooper hold that picture up, my stomach churned.

Owls do not show up in my life a lot but 11:11 has, and that time code has made all the difference in my pursuit of truth.

Oh. Now I see why you put 1111 in your name... What happened?

When I was about 14 some friends and I conspired to trap a great horned owl outside of Great Falls Montana. We thought we would be able to keep it as a pet. We did not even keep it for five hours. It had a wing span of about four and a half feet and it's grip with the talons was phenomenal. I will tell you this. Owls can really get down to business! As for as Anderson's picture, it is just a harmless artwork.

You mean with my experience with 11:11? I started seeing the number when I was age 12 or so. Receipts, clocks, license plates, random spots. I chalked it up to plain pattern recognition at first. Then my mom brought home this old microwave that my grandpa had given us to use. It must have been late 70's? Definitely an old appliance.

This microwave however would short out every time we had another appliance like a toaster or something going at the same time. It would always reset to 11:11 on the clock and it made me curious because every other digital clock I know of would reset to 12:00.

Long story short I finally got th internet and discovered it was a phenomenon.

Meh, I think it is just the drawing of an owl, nothing more. And even if it wasn't, what could a symbol of wisdom have anything to do with a elementary school massacre. That strikes me as the very opposite of wisdom.

Yeah. I never experienced this phenomenon, though. I say that because I experienced alot of other things...

It seems to me that in recent years the Owl has been more abundant in mainstream culture and even as fashion. You can get anything with an owl on it now in days. Just go to the store, you will see many things that you can buy for your home with an owl on it. Also, I have noticed that recently owl tattoos have become quite popular.

To me, its just a fad that is going to die out eventually. Owls are in today. but tomorrow, hell, maybe ducks?

Owls are owls. If there is an occult meaning, so be it. I tend to think they are fascinating creatures. But I prefer crows.

Sounds like a cool experience! I see the artwork as ominous, you see it as harmless. Fair enough.

reply to post by theghoster
I respect that. I'm just going to mentions that symbols are very powerful and that occult magic exists.

reply to post by theAnswer1111


so it made you feel ill? That is an interesting response. I would love to know if anyone else had the same emotions. I think a study on the affects of symbolism might be a cool thing to do. Symbolism doesn't affect me in a physical sense, just like a reminder of why I know that symbol. Maybe it's a lack of beer. Who knows.

But could it just be a fad? Probably. Could the Owl be on the rise in popularity due to unseen occult and lesser magic? Also a possibility.

First of all, what makes you think this isn't just an adorable drawing from a child? You do realize that owls are cool, right? Second of all, what gives you the right to label anything "occult" as harmful? There are several religious paths (mine included) that either revere the owl or have patron gods/goddesses who are represented by the owl. There are also many of the shamanic traditions who's totem may be Owl.

Paranoia is one thing but don't mingle in pop-ignorance on top of that. The owl is about as one-sided as a coin.

Maybe the kid was a sacrifice to the Olympian God of Athena. Maybe the Greek God's never went away they just went into a new form. I don't know, I just wish kids weren't killed. That is the only thing that would have made sense to me.
