Throughout medieval history, the image of the Owl become often associated with evil because of its tendency to be active at some point of the damaging hours of the night. Many early cultures saw the Owl as an omen of coming near awful fortune and believed that it became cursed as a creature of the dead.

However, Illuminati tradition tells a special story. In Illuminati practices, the Owl is revered as a creature of vigilance — a parent who stands alert so others can relaxation through the night under its watchful gaze. It is visible as a totem representing expertise, its eyes ever-watchful for the morning to approach and for the guiding Light to reemerge over the horizon.

In cutting-edge culture, the Owl appears in a selection of prominent locations, mainly in locations of government and on currency. Through magnification, the Owl may even be visible in the corner of every United States one-greenback invoice, along the Pyramid and the All-Seeing Eye.
