“Small drinking cups with owl and olive branch were popular in 5th century Athens. The owl was particularly associated with Athena, the patron goddess of Athens. The motif of owl with olive symbolized Athens and was derived from the city's famous coinage.”

#Celtic #FolkloreSunday: The association of the barn owl, Cailleach-oidhche gheal (the white old woman of the night) with the #Cailleach, goddess of Winter, is interesting.

The Cailleach is the 'divine ancestor', associated with the creation of the landscape and with the weather, especially storms and winter

In Druidry, the barn owl is Cailleach-oidhche gheal, the white old woman of the night
