Blodeuwedd the Owl
In Wales the owl is known as Blodeuwedd, meaning "flower face." In the Medieval Celtic tale, The Mabinogion, Blodeuwedd is magically created by magicians from stone and flowers for Llew, who is cursed that he should have no human wife. Blodeuwedd follows her own nature and falls in love with Gronw, and together they escape into the wild forests. Hunted by the magician Gwydion for betraying her husband, she is changed into an owl. Banished into the dark night, she becomes the wise all-seeing creature whose intuitive vision peers deep into our psyche.
