Owls uncover the truth which is often something we have chosen to ignore. The truth can be hard and challenging, yet, it opens us up to a higher reality and deeper wisdom of our true nature.
Owls are often associated with death because of their nocturnal nature and their frequent sightings at graveyards. As a child, I remember finding owl pellets and opening them up to find the skeletons of their prey such as mice bones. Because of this, I always thought owls were vicious killers. There are many folklores and tales of owls that represent death, hunting at night, and bringing death and destruction in their path. But, do owls really represent death? While owls do often represent death, spiritual death does not mean loss of life; rather, death represents the ending of something and the beginning of something else.
It represents change, transformation, rebirth, and renewal. Because owls are also associated with wisdom, inner knowledge, and intuition, this is often related to the death of a part of your ego so you can awaken to a higher version of yourself.
In spiritual symbolism, death can appear as the ending of a relationship, the ending of a job, or the ending of a bad habit. In its place, there is room for healthier relationships, jobs, and healthier habits. So does seeing an owl mean that death is near? Likely not. But it might be a sign that there is something significant that is about to change that will lead you on the path towards truth.
Finding a dead owl can carry this same spiritual symbolism: there may be a big change headed your way.
Seeing an owl is not common, however, having an owl fly above you or in front of you is a very rare occurrence and one to pay attention to.

It is a way to get your attention and to ask you to stop, look, and listen to what is happening under the surface of your reality.

Having an owl fly above you is a way to get you to see a new perspective of a situation with higher sight and more wisdom. This is a symbol of wisdom, intuition, and psychic insight. Owls fly when they are ready to hunt and looking for their prey.
They are silent, still, and methodical, but once they are ready to catch their prey they take swift and decisive action.

Once you feel confident in what you want and can trust the signs of your intuition, you can take definitive action on any goal.

People are likely drawn to you to ask for help, advice, or experience a higher state of being when they spend time with you.
