Owl symbolism dates back to ancient civilizations, where it represented wisdom and knowledge. In Ancient Greece, the owl was associated with Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Native American tribes viewed owls as guardians of sacred knowledge. During the Middle Ages in Europe, owls symbolized mystery and were often linked to omens and the supernatural. In ancient Egypt, owls were seen as protectors against evil spirits. Asian cultures, such as Japan and China, regard owls as symbols of luck and longevity.
