Athena, goddess of wisdom, is represented as an owl. Perhaps because the latter has large eyes, which symbolizes intellectual receptivity. It is also a bird, an inhabitant of the celestial plane, which alludes to performance of the psyche in the conceptual, abstract and spiritual reality, in its upper level.
The bird is thus one of its attributes together with the snake. As the first symbol of spiritual wisdom, as I mentioned earlier, the last refers to the worldly or earthly wisdom. There could therefore be considered as wisdom at all levels and dimensions, enclosing the true and sublime knowledge, as the illusory technicality that allows physical performance.
is also a virgin maiden. Means that it remains pure, essential, original, authentic, genuine, unadulterated, closed itself autonomous. Wisdom is therefore, personal, own, intimate, dies and is born with one. It is also female character, that is, intuitive nature. Intuition keeps inside, in a dormant state, a set of ideas, which justifies Athena is the protector of children, ie shoots, ideas that germinate.
Another quality of his is his skill in the military. She is a warrior armed with helmet, shield and pike, and bears the aegis of Zeus on his chest. It follows that wisdom with weapons, with countless resources that is effective and, above brute force is what allows us win the battles, which represent obstacles that occur throughout life.
His blond hair and blue eyes symbolize the clarity or transparent condition in which they manifest the insights that carry knowledge. The yellow or golden blond's own, indicate the heating condition of intuition, that is, his wit and neatness. The clarity of the eyes refers to the facility to receive the knowledge. Blue is also a color that represents the depth of the heavens and the oceans, ie the depth of thought and introspection, own the motto "know thyself."
born from Zeus's head at the hands of a hit with a bronze ax in it. This refers to the effort, pain and psychological difficulties leading up to the great insights, as well as violence and turmoil that burst when they occur. The insights are sharp, sharp as a hatchet in the head. The person, prior to receiving the knowledge, will have to rack their brains to get inside of their lie.
