Wise Owl or Ancient Occult Symbol?

Okay...is this just a splotch of ink here, or do you really think there is an owl on this $1 dollar bill? Granted, when it is magnified a gazillion times, I guess you could stretch and say it resembles an owl. Or is it just the over active imagination of conspiracy theorists? Being a lover of Owls and all that they embody and represent....I find the examination of the 'Owl' as an 'Occult' symbol rather interesting. I've studied what the Owl means as a Totem Animal and in Animal Medicine. But I've never read the full explanation of why it is considered a symbol of the occult.

The Illuminatus Observor Blog, is a fascinating site if you are at all interested in the Illuminati or even if you just appreciate the intrigue of a good conspiracy theory. You can read the whole post at the link above if you're interested. And here is an excerpt from the post covering the Owl/Occult connection that pretty much sums up their thinking....

"Thus what is being said is that "the Owl" is what is able to see in the night and it is the Owl that gives us wisdom and vision as we make our way through the Construct. So before you are so quick to dismiss this or that as mere "occult satanic ritual", it is best to get the real source meaning of the symbols lest you vilify what is really a higher level esoteric truth and reality, that the Goddess is the Owl, and that it is the worship of the Goddess that allows us to gain wisdom and knowledge."

So supposedly, the owl is next to the 1 on the dollar bill for some reason that I still don't understand, even after reading the whole post. But I have heard the stories of all the Presidents and elite from all over the world, holding secret occult rituals beneath a 40ft. tall stone Owl called Moloch, at Bohemian Grove in California....so nothing would surprise me really. You can find all kinds of fascinating stories about it on the internet, and since it has been officially documented, it might be worth some investigation. Most of the Presidents have attended, both Republican and Democrat. But the questions still remain.....is that really a microscopic Owl with a gigantic hidden meaning on our currency? And is the Owl a revered symbol of the occult, or just a wise nocturnal animal who is guilty by association?
