Subject: Mystics and Owls From: jp4t+@andrew.cmu.edu (Jean-Luc H. Park) Date: 1990-10-02, 17:21 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks,rec.arts.tv There's one thing that I must know before I go on. Is the secret cult that includes hawk and the sheriff an Owl cult? if so that would explain quite a bit. Owl is the spirit that sits back and observes, this spirit interferes only in the most extreame of situations. Thus if my theory is correct, the giant is Owl personified, and the references to owls, such as those within the diary, "owls can sometimes be big", and the scene with the owl attacking Laura, would explain that Owl was interfering in protecting the town. Now to find something that would be large enough to cause the activation of Owl. This is where things get very magical. BOB is not a normal person, but what is Mike? Also, where is the different plane? Is it Hell? or Hades? And what interest does the little man have in T.P. or at least Laura Palmer? If the little man, and his minions are the cause for Owl's interference, get ready for some very bizzare and strange dealings in magic. Hopefully more intricate than what anyone would expect. Of course this is all conjecture, Lynch can interpret the legends in any way he wishes to, including the Tebetian legends. There's more to this than just a murder, I suggest to enjoy the scenes as they come out, it's not gonna get any more normal J-L P
