Ca-la-va-za
The rich green hues of the variscite contrast beautifully with the intense crimson of its eyes, creating a visual spectacle that is both enchanting and slightly unnerving. The flawless craftsmanship and attention to detail in this piece speaks to the skill and artistry of Alvin, leaving no doubt that this owl is not just a simple ornament but a symbol of knowledge, foresight, and insight beyond mortal understanding.
Owl (Muhukwi): Owls can see what others cannot and this is a large part of Owl (Muhukwi) medicine. Owl’s ability to do this reminds us of the importance of both worlds: the physical as well as the spiritual, perhaps the known and the unknown. Our willingness and courage to transform the unknown in ourselves into the known is a true source of wisdom. The Zuni Pueblo people call the owl “the Night Grandfather” because he does his work at night. Clairvoyant properties and uncovering deception have always been associated with Owl. Its connection with wisdom comes from Owl’s ability to discern that which cannot be “seen.”
