Got a request for some owl myths and monsters from around the world. Here is some of what I grabbed quickly.

Being night creatures and very stealthy carnivores, they make great material for stories and superstitions.

There’s a few new to me in the list, so lots of guys material here for you guys to read on the provided links. Let me know who’s your favorite from the list or if you know any good ones to add!

Strix (Ancient Greek)

Tah-tah-kle’-ah (Native American)

Bunyip (Native Australian)

Mictlantecuhtli (Aztec)

Ancient Egyptian Owl Mythology

Laxmi and other owl lore (India)

      I didn’t know about most of them. I’m looking forward to reading more about them all myself when I get an opportunity. The indian lady riding the owl looks like fun to me.
