Owl Coin Magnet

£4.50

A resin Greek owl coin supplied on a magnet, inspired by the myths of the goddess, Athena and her owl.

A strong magnet is attached to the back, for fridges, radiators etc. But this also makes a nice altar ornament for spells and blessings from Athena. In Greek mythology, a little owl traditionally represents or accompanies Athena, the virgin goddess of wisdom, or Minerva, her syncretic incarnation in Roman mythology. Because of such association, the bird — often referred to as the "owl of Athena" or the "owl of Minerva" — has been used as a symbol of knowledge, wisdom, shrewdness and enlightenment throughout the Western world.
