This is from The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft by Rosemary Ellen
Guiley:
"The owl is associated with death, sorcery and the dark underside of life.
To the ancient Egyptians, the owl represented night, death and cold. The Bible
(Leviticus) says the owl is an unclean bird. The ancient Greeks, however, viewed
it as the sacred symbol of wisdom, for the owl was the constant companion of
Athena, goddess of wisdom.
"The ancient Romans considered the bird a bad omen, presaging death; Caesar's
murder was announced by the screeching of owls. Besides death, the hooting of an
owl foretells illness, bad weather and the loss of virginity of a village girl.
In European and American folklore, charms could counteract the owl: throwing
salt in a fire, turning one's pockets inside out or tying knots in a
handkerchief.
"The Aztecs equated owls with evil spirits, including one regarded as the enemy
of the human race, whose named was 'Rational Owl.' In Africa, owls are feared
because they are instruments of sorcerers. To North American Indians, the owl is
a bird of ill omen, either the harbinger of death or a messenger from the dead.
The Sauk believe that if an owl is seen at night, it will cause facial
paralysis. Chippewa medicine men stuff the skin of an owl with magic ingredients
and direct it to fly to a victim's house and cause starvation. Folk healers in
Peru use owls to combat negative sorcery. In Peruvian myth, the 'owl woman' is
associated with shamanistic rituals and magical curing.
"In the Middle Ages, demons in the forms of owls attended witches, accompanying
them on their broomstick flights and running errands of evil for them. Magicians
and healers used owl feathers as a charm to lull people to sleep.
"In some cultures, the owl has long been respected. In India, eating owl
eyeballs is said to give a person night vision. The Kiowa Indians of North
America believe medicine men turn into owls at death."
" The owl is a bird credited with more malevolence than any other, even though
its reputation for wisdom goes back to our earliest myths. In Greece, the owl
(sacred to both Athena and Demeter) was revered as a prescient creature -- yet
also feared, for its call or sudden appearance could foretell a death. Lilith,
Adam's wife before Eve (banished for her lack of submissiveness) was associated
with owls and depicted with wings or taloned feet. In the Middle East, evil
spirits took the shape of owls to steal children away -- while in Siberia, tamed
owls were kept in the house as protectors of children. In Africa, sorcerers in
the shape of owls caused mischief in the night. To the Ainu of Japan, the owl
was an unlucky creature -- except for the Eagle Owl, revered as a mediator
between humans and the gods. In North America, the symbolism of the owl varied
among indigenous tribes. The Pueblo peoples considered them baleful; the Navajo
believed them to be the restless, dangerous ghosts of the dead. The Pawnee and
Menominee, on the other hand, related to them as protective spirits, and Tohono
O'Odham medicine singers used their feathers in healing ceremonies. When we turn
to Celtic traditions we find that the owl, though sacred, is an ill omen,
prophesying death, illness or the loss of a woman's honor. In the Fourth Branch
of The Mabinogion, the magician Gwydion takes revenge upon Blodeuwedd (the girl
he made out of flowers, who married and then betrayed his son) by turning her
into an owl and setting her loose into the world."

This is from A Dictionary of Symbols by J.E. Cirlot:
"In the Egyptian system of hieroglyphs, the owl symbolizes death, night,
cold and passivity. It also pertains to the realm of the dead sun, that is, of
the sun which has set below the horizon and which is crossing the lake or sea of
darkness."

At this point, I should digress and go back and say that as we were walking into the Grove we actually came within about ten yards of the 40 foot stone owl that sits to the north side of the small lake. We were only about seven yards away from the black altar that sits at the base of the owl. So, already at this point we had proven that rumor true: yes there is a giant stone owl – yes there is an altar.....So, I was there witnessing something right out of the medieval painter Hieronymus Bosch’s Visions of Hell: burning metal crosses, priests in red and black robes with the high priest in a silver robe with a red cape, a burning body screaming in pain, a giant stone great-horned owl, world leaders, bankers, media and the head of academia engaged in these activities. It was total insanity. --Alex Jones http://illuminati-news.com/occult-activities-at-bohemian-grove.htm
