Owls are a symbol of wisdom and prudence. They stand for good powers of observation, erudition and knowledge and are therefore often depicted with glasses or a book. The animals are highly valued as talismans for learning and therefore adorn many libraries and bookshops.
As a bird of the night that flies almost silently but can hear and see very well, the owl is also a symbol of mindfulness and attentiveness.
