This is a solid belief of mine. these last few months, I’ve had owls filter in and out of my life in strange ways.
It started a few months ago when my cousin told me she had a nightmare with an owl in it.
A different friend, a month or two later, sent me a video of a barn owl she saw on a walk.
two weeks ago, I saw an owl in person for the first time. I was on a walk with my dog, and it flapped by out of nowhere. i didn’t have my phone on me, and i didn’t plan on going in this specific direction on my walk. We stared at each other. Once I started going WHOOO WHOOO, the link broke and we went our separate ways.
a few days later, was telling a friend about this synchronicity of owlz during a stoner walk near a creek. It was dark, and I decided to dip my toes in the water (as I am a mermaid for any body of water)
as I was watching my step among the slick coldness of the water and the invisible pebbles in the dark, my friend let out a soft scream- gasp. above me, an owl had flown by. she said it ’had been too fat to have been anything else’ and i fully believe her.
Owls are interesting. They aren’t my primary bird of hyperfixation (big on eagles and crows in my universe) but I feel deeply connected to the universe and its movements, whenever these sorts of repetitions enter my life.
I always read into it. I don’t care, I love making something’s out of someone else’s nothings.

when i was younger, i was really into the percy jackson books and fancied myself as a daughter of athena so naturally gravitated towards owls. but then i saw a grey-ish eagle owl one night and i was so in awe. because my god, what beautiful and majestic creatures!
fun fact 🤓: they don’t actually have eyeballs so the can’t move their eyes the way we do hence the ability to move their necks about 270 degrees
and also look how cute!!!!

The hawk flew right in front of me yesterday on a walk and we stared at each other for two minutes straight and the crow appeared outside my kitchen window this morning

Ornithomancy is the practice of reading omens from the actions of birds — the first bird you notice on New Years Day is an omen for the year ahead of you.
The first day of 2023 I saw a heron fly above the sea I was swimming in; 2024 a cormorant from my window in the bay; 2025 it was two starlings, together on a lamppost. I’ve spent some time this morning researching starling symbolism and seeing what resonates. Communication, cooperation, group dynamics, mimicry, shape shifting... we’ll see!
I thought about my heron and my cormorant a lot throughout the year they marked, their little gift of googled symbolism. You don’t have to believe any of it, but it’s a nice bit of introspection to start your year off.

I got my nails done and I realized the star on the index finger makes the nails PI themed. Semi unconscious yet a soft-smile realization while the nail tech was painting the star on.

Bring back being genuine about your suffering on the internet. was that ever really a thing? is tumblr just a social anecdote to a form of media we thought / wished we had?
