Divination, also known as the art of fortune-telling or predicting the future, has been practiced for centuries by various cultures around the world. One popular form of divination is the use of owls, which are believed to be a significant symbol in many ancient traditions and folklore. In many cultures, owls are seen as wise and mystical creatures that possess supernatural powers and wisdom. Due to their nocturnal nature and ability to see in the dark, owls are associated with the ability to see beyond the realm of ordinary perception and gain insight into hidden truths. The association of owls with divination can be traced back to ancient Greece, where the goddess Athena, the deity of wisdom and foresight, was often depicted with an owl as her familiar. Owls were considered sacred to Athena and were believed to bring wisdom and guidance to those seeking answers or advice.
First of all, get a sword. And please don’t just take one of these glorified daggers you find at markets. Instead, either get a custom one made by a blacksmith or buy one at an auction. Alternatively, you can make one yourself, but you do need to have some blacksmithing experience.
I m making this guide because if it comes to a war in Raesteria, the mountainous landscape here makes trying to engage with opponents from a distance much harder, and in that case, conventional witchcraft and it focus on ranged attacks and rituals is a major disadvantage. Opinions and spiritual or religious beliefs are those of the guest and may conflict with yours, but we are learning about their first hand customs, culture, and lived experience.
Owls were considered sacred to Athena and were believed to bring wisdom and guidance to those seeking answers or advice. In addition to ancient Greece, owls have also been revered in other cultures for their divinatory qualities.

(Science note: this specific episode of Ologies is a little different; not the norm. Unlike vampires or monsters, there are *real* witches among us and I wanted to include their voices in this deep dive of their beliefs. So you may not agree with everything they say and a lot of it can’t be qualified, but this episode is about culture, history and the ideology of a certain spiritual group. So listen with that in mind and you'll learn about religious beliefs —that you may not agree with and that science has not fully figured out or upheld — but you'll get to know the real people and lifestyles behind the tropes we’ve seen in fiction. Then the rest of Spooktober we’re back to genetics and statistics and Google scholar research papers and such. Relax, and enjoy.)

In African folklore, owls were regarded as messengers of death and were sometimes used in divination rituals to predict the outcome of battles or future events. In modern times, the use of owls in divination has evolved to include various methods and practices. Some practitioners use owl feathers or images of owls in their divinatory rituals to enhance their connection with unseen forces and tap into their intuitive abilities. Others may interpret the presence or behavior of owls in dreams or in nature as a sign or omen of what is to come. It's important to note that divination with owls, like any form of fortune-telling, is not an exact science and should be approached with an open mind and a healthy dose of skepticism. The interpretation of symbols and signs can vary greatly depending on the individual and the context in which they are received. In conclusion, divination with owls is a fascinating aspect of ancient and modern folklore that highlights the human desire to unlock the mysteries of the future. Whether viewed as wise messengers, guides to the spirit realm, or symbols of death and change, owls continue to captivate our imagination and offer a glimpse into the unknown..
