I finally pulled the owl card

the OWL card from an oracle deck
Two years ago I received an oracle deck of cards with a companion book as a gift. The set up is called Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams and David Carson. I am cautious to put a lot of credence into this kind of thing, but I gotta say, these cards have been weirdly accurate. And today, for whatever reason, I've finally pulled the owl card! Here's an excerpt from the book:
If you've pulled the owl card, you are being asked to use your keen, silent observation to intuit some life situation. Owl is befriending you and aiding you in seeing the total truth. Owl can bring you messages in the night through dreams and meditations. Pay attention to the signals and omens. The truth always brings further enlightenment.
This comes in the midst of a writing project where I am focusing on owls and the UFO phenomenon. My desk (and brain) is a cluttered jumble of owl reports, images and mythos. Also today, just a little while after pulling that card, I spoke with researcher Eve Lorgan (author of Alien Love Bite), I was asking her about owls. She suggested that I talk with David Carson. It took me a little bit to realize that he was one of the authors of this book. I had never heard his name out loud and the book was inches away from me when Eve mentioned it.

  1. I hardly ever use the cards. I go for ages without opening them. A friend of mine has the same deck, and I will use them at her house more often, and I never got the owl there either!

  2. I use both tarot and various oracle decks for other people all the time, but rarely for myself. They can help get your brain out of the box to look at other possibilities, so I like 'em!

    Cool synchs!

  3. I have this deck as well -- just did a reading for someone yesterday using this deck, at their request. Like you Mike I go back and forth with it, I really like the oracle because of the animal imagery, but I will put it away and almost forget about it for months.
