Owls are my favorite birds at night. They are mysterious and beautiful and love their hoots during the night.

The owl is the perfect spiritual symbolism of the night and what it it represents—mystery, darkness and knowledge.
Owls are also considered powerful spirit guides, they illuminate our path to enlightenment and protection against the unseen. According to the Native Tribe Info, the owl invites us to explore the deeper parts of our soul, embracing growth and spirituality.

Hearing an Owl at 4am
In my knowledge, the time between 2 am and 4 am is the witching hour.
It’s when the veil between this world and the spirit world is very thin.
It’s a good time to communicate with others who have passed into the spirit world. So if you have someone you want to communicate with, it is a good time.
When an owl hoots between 2 am and 4 am it means its carrying the sound of the spirit world. That’s kinda interesting, right?
