The owl is a magical creature of the forest and a bringer of wisdom. They have superior sight and keen vision that can see through the dark and unknown. They are often associated with intuition and clarity.  Having an owl as a spirit guide will help you see things normally hidden from view. They protect you from being deceived by making you aware of your wisdom deep in your soul. Owls are nocturnal animals so often times their messages are communicated at night during your dreams. Having an owl as your power animal shows that you have keen insights into the less honorable side of human nature. You might be more cynical than others but your friends appreciate your dark humor and sense.
