The owls symbolize the wisdom we gain throughout life, as the sharp teeth and pointed tongues protect and push obstructions and toxicity away. The pieces together represent my partner and I having one another's backs as we go through adversities and challenges in our lives.
May these intention sigils (carved into horns) and representation of feminine power grant favorable outcomes for good health, prosperity, success, protection, and strength. Gold represents the accomplishments in our lives and our goals that we wish to manifest. Owls represent wisdom, transformation, and the passing through thresholds for the living and dead. Black owls help us see through the darkest times and may they help hold back those that wish us harm.
