Best Answer

In many cultures, owls signal an underworld or serve to represent human spirits after death; in other cultures, owls represent supportive spirit helpers and allow humans (often shamans) to connect with or utilize their supernatural powers.

Throughout India, owls are construed as bad omens, messengers of ill luck, or servants of the dead.

In Meghalaya they are believed to call out at night when a person is going to die; its cry denotes the death of a person.

The aboriginal peoples of North Queensland, Australia owls are also considered an ill omen, signifying a death in the family - but only if the owl hung around the home site for several days. In ancient Egypt, India, China, Japan, and Central and North America, owls were the bird of death. It all depends where you are coming from.

It is believed that Owls carry extreme healing powers for some Native American tribes, they also see in the dark, and it's believed that they aid us in seeing through deception either in others or oneself, they are also a symbol for wisdom in many cultures. Think of the wise owl in many children's stories, even Winnie the pooh had one. If you are personally drawn to owls or they to you, then most likely you have owl as your personal medicine or spirit guide. In that case seeing and/or hearing the owl will very rarely be a negative omen but more a reminder to look for deception in yourself or others and bring healing to your situation. Although answer 1 is correct, some Native American tribes like the Apache for instance see them as bad omens. It could very much depend on where you live and what you were taught and now what you choose to believe.

I had to stop my car for an owl in the middle of the road. Is this an omen?

No. But if it is, it's good luck. Or you will gain wisdom, but only if you study. Owls, whose main prey is mice, also often may retrieve the remains of other road-killed creatures. They may themselves get dazzled by oncoming headlights and then become victims. It is good that you stopped as owls are an important part of the balance of nature as created by almighty God. They are not an omen, except to those who wish to believe it so.
