Pallas
Sage, enigmatic, and astutely perceptive, the owl Pallas picks up on the slightest movements, sounds, turns of speech, eddies of experience that would otherwise go unnoticed.

And since we tend to be blind to our selves, Pallas often pushes us to see who we are. Prodded by her piercing awareness, how could we ever go astray?
