Agree…. mostly. Owls are lovely birds (as all birds are…..) and yet here they are dragged into some occult human crap symbolism stuff, and they almost become criminal themselves (the birds) by an association they never concocted.
Feel the same about Magpies, who have been accused of beating bad luck simply by travelling in twosomes. But the suspicion of Magpies still remains in some places.
The pizza. Yep, I understand what you say. But whilst I still eat them, when offered them out of courtesy, I'm not suspicious of them symbolically, but I wouldn't always trust what's in them - foodolically. Chicken tastes like? So there are places if my sixth sense kicked in, that I wouldn't eat a Pizza from - Comet Ping Pong as a glaring example…!
