The Court of Owls

Batman: The Court of Owls

Owls.....

In older Western myths owls are associated with Wisdom, Helpfulness, and Prophecy. In the middle ages they were viewed as evil and harbingers of doom. In New Wold they are viewed as powerful entity... either one of great evil or protection. In eastern tradition it can be viewed as a keeper of souls. What ever its roots its an ancient and powerful symbol of mystery. In more modern times, it has become to be included as a reference to Aliens/Greys.

I stayed away from the series mind you because it was well, even as a comic fan, something said don't buy. However when I finally looked at it I come to found that  ironically this year, Batman #1 2012 includes a massive story arc about the "The Court of Owls". A secret society hidden in plain site. It is something that has always been there, in the shadows and whispered, manipulating events abroad. What is most fascinating about this is the imagery used throughout the story arc as well as the history. In Issues #5-#7 Batman is lured/abducted by the Court and analyzed and toyed with.
 When it got to this part, for some reason it reminded me of the abductions. Toyed with and analyzed, breaking you apart by showing you things.Testing you, etc. It was a few things that stuck at me "Keep to the Dark" and Batman's determination to be keening aware of his surroundings. Although it hits home, I think that this is common to any type of abduction.... but it just struck a chord here and there...

Back to the Owls... like Rabbits... their symbolism are melded with the Greys. As people report seeing or remembering the image of an owl at their window or during an encounter. The physical similarity of the face are their... Dark Wide Eyes, lack of a nose, small mouth, and a neutral color face (yes I know there are more colors..). It just may be they choose this form..., or it could harken to older symbolism. The owl is a found in my societies as well, some that have some questionable reputation and supposed dealing with greys.
Whatever the case.... it is just a thought that crossed my head that I am putting out there. My instincts tell me to leave this issue alone.... but just maybe a dark knight can bring the light of truth.

   A few days ago my aunt had an incident in which an entity appeared and touched her during the day. In the early morning hours prior I myself was made aware of a presence too. Early this morning around 12:45 am, she was touched again by this apparition will in her bedroom. It is a grayish mist that flowed from the corner of her bedroom touched her and left through her bedroom door. I sensed something was wrong and made my way to her when she began to yell.I didn't get there in time to see anything, but the temperature in the hallways was colder than usual.

   She was shaken and was convinced somethings was after her. We talked for a bit, and I explained to her this was probably the entity that haunts this place. The "grey/white mist" has been encountered before and seen by at least several other individuals. It is my belief that it is a wandering spirit from the local cemetery. In order to give her some peace of mine I preformed a ritual to ward her room. We were raised Catholic, and fortunate for us our family has some Pre-Vatican Council II books that basically has all the prayers and basics observations that a church would do and one should practice throughout the Catholic year. In my studies I also have other books dealing with various rituals as well, as well as book on christian candle rituals. So with her permission we performed a prayer/ritual to protect her room. It took a whole 45 mins, and yes... there were some off things they went on during the prayer.

   Before I started I turned off the TVs. As I had her read the prayers, and I begun my several different noises occurred:

1) A door bell in the distance was chimed three times.

2) A tapping in the hallway
3) An odd whirling noise in the large room.
4) Movement in the kitchen
5) A loud bang in the large room where he entity often appears at the end of the prayer.

   At the end of the prayers, she said she felt the room was better and that whatever was plaguing her was gone.I went on to enforce the prayer by going to the other common rooms in the house as well. It was exhausting. I put her to bed, and myself attempted to go to sleep. The animals that I can usually her at night like the peacocks and parrots were oddly quiet. I myself was exhausted, but had trouble trying to sleep.
Around 3:45am there was a flash of bright silver-white light which freaked me out (but felt oddly calm),  becuase I thought it was "them". The light was explained away as it was caused by my computer rebooting itself, after I had the courage to look. However, I believe this was coincidental...becuase it was a very intense flash of white light..that I know my computer can't make. Apparently at the same time, my aunt said that someone told her "Do not worry, everything will be alright" and she felt peace and safety.
