A good omen in the Antiquity, as Athens (the Goddess of wisdom) was often depicted with an owl on her shoulder. The Christian Church wanted to erase all connections with the Pagan times, so they turned the owl into an evil bird. Now, thanks to "Harry Potter", it is once again perceived as a positive symbol.
It is believed to be the inbodyment of a female demon, Lilith. It is an omen for good or bad. To see an owl during the day is bad luck.
Whatv is the superstition of the white owl?
It depends on what kind of owl it is. If its a snowy owl it would be normal to see a white one. If its a barn owl, or screech owl, etc. it would be rare if it was white. Snowy owls are white so they can blend in with their surroundings, as they live in a snowy enviorment.
Barn Owls have many nicknames which include monkey-faced owl, silver owl, white owl, delicate owl, golden owl, steeple owl, straw owl, barnyard owl, church owl, night owl, ghost owl, hobgoblin owl, screech owl, and death owl.
Not officially (in North America), but common names can be very confusing. There is a Barn Owl, that loves to live in barns & abandoned buildings and has dark eyes, a white heart-shaped face, slim body, long legs, and white belly and under-wings. There is also a "Short-eared" Owl that might be abbreviated as "shed".
