Owl Spirit

“Athena’s owl is a messenger between worlds; she appears to bring message from other spiritual realms and also the subconscious. As an animal who has sharp sight in the dark, the owl is a totem animal for having the spiritual strength and bravery to delve into the dark hidden nature of the subconscious and accept hidden truths. This artwork includes the symbol of Athena embedded within the artwork. “ - Leni Kae (c)

This artwork is part of a new series featuring channeled artworks and poetry drawn through meditations and dreams. They retrace a journey through the spiritual landscape of Leni Kae’s heritage as a Greek-Cypriot, delving into the visual memories and energies of her Greek ancestors.
