Owl – JUDGMENT
At different points of spiritual awakening, you realize not only the judgment you carried about yourself, but how you may have unintentionally projected this onto others. Owl encourages you not to place blame on yourself, but rather recognize this as a pattern coming from your own wounds.
As you become the observer of your emotions, look to the symbols of the heart and feather hanging on either side of where Owl is perched. The heart represents past wounds healed, while the feather represents a lighter feeling in mind, body, and spirit settling in when you’ve completed another cycle of inner work.
The green leaves are symbolic of growth, reminding you that as you nurture your well-being from the inside out, you will feel more love and appreciation for yourself. This then allows judgment toward others and of yourself to fall away.
