The collective noun for a group of owls is guess what?

A parliament of owls.

Flicking through the book 'An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Traditional Symbols' it says:

The owl is 'ambivalent as the bird of wisdom, darkness and death'.

In old Celtic, Cthonic tradition was known as 'night hag' and 'corpse bird'.

Chinese: Symbolizes evil, crime, death, horror and, funnily, ungrateful children. Also a symbol used on funeral urns to depict death.

Christianity: Satanic forces

Egyptian: Death, night, coldness.

Graeco-Roman: Sacred to Athena/Minerva and an attribute of the Etruscan god of death.

Hindu: Emblem of Yama - god of death.

Japanese: Death, ill omens.

Mexican: Night and death.

The owl sees things in the dark, symbolizing rare or hidden knowledge, which is why it's considered wise - it knows things that you don't. Being a nocturnal creature, it hunts its prey under a cover of darkness and rarely does anything in the light of day. Its favourite method of attack is stealth. The American $1 bill depicts the owl watching it's unaware prey and their equivalent of Parliament worship the owl at Bohemian Grove, and now we know why, the owl is a symbol of death and you'd be hard pressed to find any bigger killers than 'the state'.

And don't get me started on a congress of baboons!

Great post!

Fascinating thread. These people revere the Owl for various reasons not entirely understood by the general populace. The Luciferian connotations are revealing nonetheless.

Bohemian Grove should be much more high-profile, interesting that any information about it is shut down or shilled into insignificance.

Very true. You know somethings up when Mainstream frontmen for the agenda like Rush, O'reilly, Hannity, Boortz etc...Refuse to seriously address or even acknowledge its existance. People that usually call into these kinds of controlled shows are immediately ridiculed, mocked and hung up on.

Yup, totally. There was a video posted on here of a caller being verbally dismissed and labelled as a wacko while continually quoting facts about the Grove, very telling.

I fully recommend Bill O'Reilly reads Anthony Sutton's legendary book 'America's Secret Establishment' where he goes into Skull & Bones.

Here's an extremely rare video with Sutton discussing them:

Sutton was brilliant. These videos that you've posted are classics for sure, and seem to be of a better quality than the ones on Youtube.

Thanks for sharing!

I know that in Wales, not sure about the rest of the UK, there is a superstition that if an owl flies to your window a death in the family is sure to follow.

Interesting connections rr_x!
