David Olmsted#Owls have long been associated with magic, most recently with the Harry Potter movies. They are also widespread in the ancient Druid civilization. Athens had their Athenian owl for example.
Owls were a spirit animal involved with the astrological powers which were one source of motion on earth (along with inner emotions). Below is an image of an owl inside the #Knowth Passage Tomb at #Newgrange, Ireland.
A clear reference to the function of owls is found in line 3 of the Gezer tablet (~840 BCE) which says:
(Line 3) Astrological-powers are similar to astrological-owls. Life-manifestations are lacking motion-revelations.
The Gezer tablet was written in Akkadian and not in Hebrew.
Gezer is an ancient city and archaeological site located in central Israel where the central mountains meet the northern Shephelah, about 10 km southeast of the city of Ramleh. According to the Hebrew Bible, Gezer was one of the great cities fortified by Solomon, in addition to Jerusalem, Megiddo, and Hazor (1 Kings 9:15–17) .

Canaan was the name of a large and prosperous ancient country (at times independent, at others a tributary to Egypt) located in the Levant region of present-day Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Israel. It was also known as Phoenicia. The origin of the name 'Canaan' comes from various ancient texts and there is no scholarly consensus on precisely where the name originated nor what it meant.
