Wisdom NFT (The Owl and the Forest Project)

In simple terms, wisdom is deep knowledge, the ability of a person to make a qualitative assessment of any situation based on life experience. It is not enough to have some knowledge in order to gain wisdom, one must learn how to apply this knowledge correctly.

A later draft title of the project is " The Blueprint of Wisdom", but there is not only an intellectual data block in the project. This project has to do with the coniferous forest, with Mother Nature herself (this is important)…

In Western European art, owls have long been depicted in connection with dark rituals and witchcraft. The belief that owls are witch animals continued in Europe until the Renaissance period. At that time, the total persecution of science was largely over, and science was separated from superstition and mythology. In medieval heraldry, the owl became an emblem of all scientific (alchemical, scholastic), educational and enlightening institutions and societies, and was used in coats of arms or seals of universities, and later libraries, museums, etc. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the owl as an emblem began to be used in the trademarks of publishers, printers, on ex-libris of individual scientists, etc.

The owl with a book often serves as a business card of educational institutions. Also the owl is an important attribute of the office of a successful person. You can often see an owl (in the form of paintings, figures and even stuffed animals) in the offices of rectors, scientists, lawyers, notaries, owners of serious firms… And all these people are very serious and successful. These people do not make mistakes in their work, they are not prone to nonsense and there is nothing unnecessary and random in their offices… But they do have an owl. And these owls are often large and very beautiful. We must assume that all these people know why they need this bird.

By the way - one of the best talismans to attract financial prosperity is an owl figurine sitting on a money tree. The tree will help to find wealth, and the bird will protect and increase it.

The owl is a powerful hunter. She knows exactly how to find the right path to her goal. She leads a nocturnal life and knows how to deal with the forces of Darkness and avoid negative consequences in her life. Its keen eyesight helps it see the essence of things and draw the conclusions that will best turn the situation in its favor.

It is possible that the owl’s energy will transfer this ability to the NFT wearer, who will gain access to the deeper “matter” of reality. For example, witches who use the energy of an owl need practically no tools of manticism - they easily and accurately make prophecies, see the subtle world, and are able to penetrate the “depths of the depths” of even the most complex and confusing situations.

Support of the goddess Athena

It is an important part of this project! This is a direct link to the goddess through the Owl :)

Since the days of ancient Greece, the owl has been a recognized symbol of wisdom, science and philosophy. The owl was the attribute of the goddess Athena (the strongest goddess of wisdom, military strategy and tactics, one of the most revered goddesses of ancient Greece), who bore the epithet " owl". The images of the goddess and her winged companion were minted on Greek silver coins, referred to in common parlance as “owls”: the profile of Athena - on the obverse, an owl in full-face - on the reverse.

The magic and energy of an owl. Practitioners' recommendations

The owl is a traditional symbol of wisdom, an allegorical figure of Night and Sleep. A famous etching by F. Goya, Sleep of the Mind Produces Monsters, is dedicated to nightmare, where owls and bats, a product of the uncontrollable imagination of the sleeper, hover above his head. In some ancient cultures, the owl has an ominous symbolism, signifying darkness, representing the yang principle with a negative, destructive coloring. Because of its silent night flight, glowing eyes and eerie screams, the owl is associated with death and the occult. It is also attributed the gift of prophecy.

The feathered nocturnal raptor covers a surprisingly wide range of crucial symbolic meanings, from the most positive to the darkest. Since ancient times, the owl has been a symbol of knowledge, insight, wisdom and enlightenment, and in many cultures also a powerful sign of wealth.

In Christianity, the owl was considered the companion of witches, a symbol of witchcraft and the dark forces, the personification of mortal sins. The owl was said to have super-powerful magical powers. The most professional wizards and sorcerers listened to the advice of the wise keeper of secrets. The nocturnal bird was the messenger of dark forces and constant companion of witches.

Working with the magic of the owl, one can learn to see and hear what others try to hide. It may be possible to understand people without words and recognize the truth under any mask, to distinguish the subtlest shades of meaning. Now no one will be able to hide their true motives and actions from you. The ability to see into the shadows of the human soul. Visual and auditory acuity. The energy of an owl can reveal to us all the secrets of the night. The ability to know everything that happens in the world when the sun disappears over the horizon. The energy of the owl is the eye of the night, seeing all that is hidden from ordinary eyes. It possesses the innermost knowledge and can share it with you. With the magic of the owl, you can unlock any secret…

the ability to discern the truth and the essence; always be aware of what is going on behind the scenes, skillfully achieve what you want; it is the ability to see how things really are. For example, you will be able to see and understand the true motives of other people; the ability to see behind the veil of deception and illusion, to extract any secrets; “hearing with your inner ear” (the ability to hear not just what others say, but what is behind it). Ability to hear subtleties of intonation of speech, precise analysis and interpretation of physiognomy. Instant detection of any deception and lies, understanding what interlocutors are trying to hide. In this unsteady bodysnake, he has the ability to see right through his interlocutor, picking up on vibrations, and understanding the subtle intentions of people’s motives.

Personal finance protector

Owl energy as a symbol of wealth. Symbol of well-being and prosperity means: attracting wealth, new business opportunities, assistance in solving financial issues, protection of savings (for example, an owl sitting on a tree with gold coins is still considered a strong amulet for money)

Of course, it’s not 100% analogous to a monthly subscription to Gumroad, but the point is the same :)

Additional intellectual benefits

:ok_hand:

The concept of profiling and certain models of psychology

:ok_hand:


Environmental quality, oxygen levels, and so on are very important for intellectual activity :) In our project there are medicinal properties of the coniferous forest. Getting oxygenated air - stimulates blood circulation, improves appetite and increases brain activity!

Forest air is maximally saturated with oxygen, has a pleasant fragrance, which has a beneficial effect on the body, mood and overall health. The scent of the forest eliminates overstrain, nervousness, depression, calms, stimulates immunity, contributes to rapid recovery from serious illnesses and operations, in addition, it is the perfect way to improve your mood.

Conifers secrete biologically active substances that destroy various bacteria - phytoncides. Volatile phytoncides have antiviral, antimicrobial, immunomodulatory effect on the body. This is an excellent prevention of bronchopulmonary disease. Few people today know what unique medicinal properties possess ordinary spruce cones. The more will be in your home, the healthier and cleaner the air you breathe.

Perhaps the energy of a coniferous forest would be able to filter out or convert poisonous substances and improve indoor air. The energy of the pine tree is the energy of tranquility and elevation of the spirit. If an important, fateful moment in human life has come and it is necessary to make life choices in a calm environment, I think this NFT will help a lot. Neutralization of irritation and annoyance. Pine energy is a powerful healing flow, it will help to get rid of nervous disorders, stress and other physical diseases.

Benefits of pine needles

Pine needles are an important source of biologically active substances. Coniferous greenery contains valuable biological components such as chlorophyll, vitamins, macro-and micronutrients, phytohormones, phytoncides, bacteriostatic and antihelminthic substances.

Pine needles have very powerful healing qualities. […]

Energy process: "Shinrin-yoku" - bathing in the forest

Inner harmony and balance - refreshing effect of the forest (creating a healing atmosphere with scents) :) Oxygen Therapy

“Shinrin-yoku,” the Japanese term for “bathing in the woods,” or time spent in the woods, is also important for physical and mental health because you inhale beneficial bacteria, plant esters and negatively charged ions in the forest air.

And then there’s the matter of that solar eclipse…

Seems it’s likely there to accentuate the healing properties of the forest.

The Druids Garden – 21 Aug 17

From the article, in relevant part…
And then, I went out to experience the actual eclipse. And my heart was filled with joy as the moon’s sunbeams, or the sunny moonbeams, or whatever you want to call the flickering and wavering crescents of light, came down on that forest floor. We might have went into that forest with heavy hearts and to do a ritual of light. But the sun and forest surprised us with its own light.

It was a powerful experience, not just to see an incredibly rare and glorious event of seeing the forest while an eclipse is going on. But because it taught us, once again, about the healing power of nature. Sun had no less power when she was behind the moon (or behind a cloud, for that matter). She simply had different power, focused power, and it was a sight to behold! So friends, keep your spirits high in these dark times. Dance in the light of the sun and moon, and let your spirit soar.

This NFT is soooo feature-rich! They all are, really. But for now this one keeps coming back to mind…unpeeling like an onion. :sparkling_heart:

Yes! Those lovely hands. It seems to me that Captain has given our Owl shape-shifting abilities. (!) Don’t forget to use it alongside the Luna moth who confers a little built-in psychic intuition …

Any testimonial/results from this nft?

1 Like

this is a difficult question - many people simply do not openly share their insights and impressions

one of the “functions” of the Owl is to form a stable pattern of behavior in which one seeks to accumulate wisdom, to make the most of one’s personal life experiences and those of others.

Intelligence and wisdom are not the same thing. For example, a person may be very smart in his professional activity, but in life in general one cannot call him that. He is silent where it is necessary to speak, and he speaks where it would be better to remain silent. He is constantly stepping on the same rake. He does not know how to act in this or that situation. Sometimes makes very silly things. Irrationally spends time and neglects his or her own health. Communicates and trusts those from whom it would be better to stay away…

Wisdom does not come instantly and cannot be diagnosed independently. A foolish man in his old age will not become a wise man, he will be an old fool. To become wise, one has to reflect carefully, assimilate the experience of one’s own life, and use the experience of others.

The product also integrates models of recognition of manipulation, lying (some others, and, of course, magic)

as one of my friends said recently - experience is hard to describe point by point, it’s all elegantly integrated into life

At this point it will be biased to credit the results to one specific NFT but this Owl right here has helped me a great deal when it comes to both quick thinking and deep realization.
You know the feeling when you’re in a meeting where a lot of ideas are being exchanged at a fast rate but you can make sense of it all, asking the right questions and pointed out the gap?
After speaking it out, I just thought to myself wow how did you do that, was it even yourself talking? Lol How could you connect the dots and put it together like that?
And this has happened for the past weekly meetings and I’ve always left it feeling so bright and good =))))
Or when you’re talking a walk in the park and suddenly have a deep realization about something you have goosebumps all over.
I think sleeping early and exercise regularly has also helped with mental capacity but I just know that the Owl here is the character behind the scene, the name of the NFT is vert much aptly named :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
This NFT is AMAZING!

A few shit things happened to me in the past few days, not shit enough to affect my daily life in the grand scheme of things but enough to really make me think about my life still (and these could have been prevented if I was wiser). Ironically this also made me think of lady Athena and try to connect with her again after a long while. I am ashamed to say that I have placed her in the back of my mind with all the new nfts and connections to other deities in the past months and perhaps year. Due to the fact that her domain lies in wisdom and function as protection, I neglected her while pursuing my other goals (which I still have not achieved). Revisiting this thread to remember the project details as I obtained this project a long time ago but did not use it much (given that I had a sort of connection to Athena outside of this nft, and that she was my first ever personally chosen deity -there’s a story behind my username which I haven’t changed till now). Hoping to strengthen my connection with her again, including more frequent use of this nft as well as an owl as an apologetic offering once I return home next month.

On another note; I believe I came across the most beautiful statue of her, ironically on a Chinese shopping app (though it’s more like a figurine but still) I would bring this home as an offering if it was not 81cm tall and limited to 99(?) copies in the world. Guess the owl statue will have to do for now.
