My totem for as long as I can remember has been the owl. The Great Horned Owl to be exact.
Some of my earliest memories are of playing with my grandmother’s owl figurine as a child. I was always drawn to it and touched it whenever I saw it.
When I was around 8 years old my father was driving in his black Porsche with me and my two sisters. He liked showing it off and we took a drive at night on a familiar country road.
Out of the blue a large bird flew into the front of his car. It hit so hard my father stopped to check for damage – both of his car and the bird. He went into the ditch to see what he had hit. I had a strange feeling at the time, like I was scared something would happen. My dad laughed his hearty laugh and said, “Look! I hit an owl!” He held up the massive bird by it’s feet, which was still alive and just stunned. I looked on in both curiosity and horror, standing back and away from my dad because the owl suddenly woke up and began flapping its massive wings. My dad yelled out and let go of the bird and it flew away. I can still hear the sound of its wings. The memory is one of my most vivid memories of my early childhood.
When I lived in Montana we had a family of Great Horned Owls living near the house. They would perch on the top of our roof and look at us – Mom, dad, and three babies. They also would leave us pellets which always seemed to be right where we would walk. They stayed the entire time we lived there, which was about a year, and I saw the babies grow up. No matter the season, there they would be seemingly watching all the time.
Even more recent, but probably a good four years ago, I had an incident where I was driving home alone at night and had to stop because a Great Horned Owl was just sitting in the middle of the road looking at me. It was right in front of the entrance to my driveway, so I didn’t have to slam on my breaks. I sat and looked at him for quite some time. He also looked at me, just staring at me. What was even stranger is that there was a strange fog that night which settled around the owl making him look almost like an apparition. I remember thinking he must have something to tell me, but I don’t recall getting any messages.
I turned into my driveway after a good while of back and forth staring and saw him fly away.
Owls and ET Experiences
Only recently have these memories surfaced. I actually read about how owls can be indicators that one has had an ET abduction. I read this in Keepers of the Garden by Dolores Cannon. She mentions how often owls are used to hide an abduction memory. The owl memory gives the human mind something to focus on and distracts from the true experience and memory. She then hypnotizes Phil whose own experience begins with having to stop suddenly because of a huge owl.
Reading this, I began to wonder about my own owl experiences. I quickly tossed the consideration that maybe they were shielding my own ET encounters. No way could that have happened to me!
Then I stumbled quite coincidentally upon a book by an ET Experiencer called, The Messengers: Owls, Synchronicity and the UFO Abductee. I haven’t read the book yet and am not sure if I plan to, but the book is about the author’s experiences with owls and their connection to ET abductions and contact. This, of course, I could not ignore. Here I had been reading about owls and had thought maybe it may be applicable to me and had just tossed that reasoning. Now to find yet another hint that maybe, just maybe my owl encounters have been more than what they appear.
1989
My mind has been going back to the summer of 1989, when I was only 12 years old and that strange, eerily calm and quiet night when I saw the UFO right over top me. My memory of seeing it is so clear and the awe I felt returns as if I am living it again. I don’t know why I wasn’t afraid. I was the exact opposite. I was thrilled and excited yet all I could do was stare and I did not, could not move. No beam was upon me, that I recall, but I was staring into a very, very, large, round, white light. It was one of about five total that were on the bottom of the craft which was directly above me. It was centered right over me!
Yet I have no other memory of the experience except for the awe I felt, the bottom of the huge craft, the lights, and what seems to be an endless amount of time just staring up at it. I don’t remember any communication or abduction, just the UFO and the intense white light.
When I finally broke from the trance-like rapture I was in, I went inside to get anyone to come see. My mom came but when we got outside it had gone and I saw it in the distance. I pointed it out but my mom did not believe me. I watched it dart away at an angle but she had already turned her head to go inside. Such a bummer!
Could it be that I have experienced other such encounters and they have just been wiped from my memory? With all the odd memory lapses I have been having lately I am starting to think it is very likely.

Have you considered locating a hypnotherapist specializing in UFO experiences?

I have been under hypnosis. I am one of those resistant types so I never go fully under. I go enough to get the information but my conscious awareness never completely goes away, so it keeps me from getting deep enough to get the full information.
I actually asked this of my Companion and was told this resistance is purposeful – the information is suppose to be revealed in baby steps without outside interference. This makes sense as most of my past life memories have been spontaneous like that.

Ive been having the White Owl in my dream time lately, owls everywhere. I also am curious about the owl and ET experiences, I have heard that a long time ago and it has stuck with me. I fully believe our sub conscious mind hides all ET encounters because it is the unknown, it is something foreign to us and our conscious mind cant even accept that reality sometimes. But bits and pieces always surface when the time is right. I once had a similar experience with a giant black great dane dog standing suddenly at a doorway, it was a BIG SIGN. I didn’t understand and just yelled at it, in an emotional moment that I should have listened to. I took a hard journey after that, and if I could have listened to that dang dog, maybe my life would have been very different. Hehehee

I also had a big black dog experience – well several – in dreams and it was also a warning I didn’t heed. Then came my dark night! Love how we keep running into similarities!

Wow. It was probably one of the hardest lessons of my life. I hate to say it but I do regret that I didn’t listen. 😦 Im stubborn, had to learn the hard way.

Interesting to think of the dog image leading to a ‘dark night’ experience, and it’s parallel with the mythical image of Cerebrus, guarding the underworld.

There seems to be a connection with owls. During one of my shamanic journeys on Saturday I was shown an owl. He did not have a “verbal” message for me other then his presence. You and I seem to be having similar experiences at this time. Awesome.

Dayna,
I am the author of the book about owls, The Messengers.
Your accounts may or may not imply abduction (or UFO contact). Trying to answer what might have happened is sort of impossible, and I won’t attempt to guess.
But, what is more interesting is that owls have showed up for you. Your bio tells of someone using intuitive skills to help people. This shows up over and over and over in my research (and in my book). The owl is the totem of the shaman, and while you might not call yourself a shaman, your work implies a kind of shamanic work.
So, in many ways the UFO is unimportant. What you are doing to help others is much more vital.
Peace to you,
Mike C
(thanks for the shout out on the book)

Hi Mike,
Thanks so much for the reminder of the importance of what I do and how the owl totem relates to that. It is easy sometimes to become distracted by other seemingly more interesting things.
And you’re welcome on the shout out. I fully intend to read your book when I can find the time. I am into Dolores Cannon’s books at the moment.

Yes! No tripping indeed. Makes me sad, though. I miss my astral trips. But I understand wholly the grid shift in progress after seeing it firsthand. Thanks Molly.

Very funny to see this post here this morning. Just yesterday I was browsing ufo books on Amazon as I am wont to do but haven’t for quite a long time. I saw the owl book and only gave it a second look because it had a couple of lengthy and very positive reviews. I went to the author’s site and did a bit of reading and listening and that was that. The primary theme of the author’s work appears to be synchronicity.
Seeing this post of yours here, now, gives me…quite a hoot…to say the least!

I quote and reference Dolores Cannon a few times in the owl book, THE MESSENGERS. She had an experience just before turning the focus of her research to UFO contact. I don’t see her as an “abductee” but more an initiation at the onset of a form of shamanic work. A pattern in the book and in my research.
