Altogether, the carving embodies the spiritual symbolism of the owl—wisdom, perception, and protection—while the combination of tan travertine, turquoise, and penn shell evokes a sacred connection to earth, sky, and mystery. It feels like a guardian carved from the land itself, still and silent, yet fully awake.

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.”
