I agree with the last two. REceiving the Tile is a way of initiating them to the Order as well as a message that the Order is on there side. As you were saying about the Owl being wise, I get that part, but what is the theory? Does it have to do with the initials and how they spell the word Owl leading to the fact that the owl is based by the order. Becasue you would say one thing and than something different all together.

(spam?) ^ Moving on I looked up owls in mythology I found this tibit (From here www.pauldfrost.co.uk/intro_o2.html ) So Owls might be connected to White Lotus however I it might be inspiration for the cat-owls, and last part of the quote states that character represents ferocity, I'm thinking Dragon-Owl Wan shi Tong.... right now

very nice work. Also to add to this. Sokkas master was apart of the fire nation, but didn't kill him when he knew the gang wasn't apart of the fire nation. Then after they leave, he gives sokka a white lotus tile. This means that he is apart of the rebellion. and another thing. When iroh and zuko were in earth kingdom territory, the other member of the o.w.l. didnt rat them out, because they are all apart of the rebellion.

I'm thinking the tile that Sokka was given has to be marked considering he doesn't know anything about setting up the tiles in the lotus formation.
Another good question in my head as to what the OWL does is WHEN did Iroh become a member? For some reason I can't see him being part of the group till after Luten died.

Wow! Awesome, awesome theory Falthor-kun ~nyo! Everything's in place, isn't it?
Did anyone ever consider that the tile might've been meant for Aang? Maybe Master gave Sokka the tile as a package to carry to Aang. The tile might have an important significance later on.

What about Zuko? he could see the tile and think about iroh and the order. Also it could have something hidden inside.

I have been calling it OWL for a while now but I never considered that the letters form the animal for a reason! Nice thinking

this is something kind of cool to go along w/ the white lotus society... there actually was a society of the white lotus back in china, a secret society that told people of the coming of Buddha in troubled times. i guess they were secret because the established government could see that as a threat & hint to uprisings. sound kind of familiar, don't it? here's the link to that tidbit of info...http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O48-WhiteLotusSociety.html also the lotus in hindu religion has TONS of symbolic meaning, 1 of which is tied to the final chakra leading to complete enlightenment (which aang is trying to achieve as to reach his goal of being a wholey accomplished avatar). & here's the link to that... www.newsfinder.org/site/more/lotus_the_flower_the_symbol/so another theory? could it very possibly be that the show's order of the white lotus was originally formed to keep the cycle of the avatar protected? stumbled across this thread accidentally, & glad that i did. this is FULL of possibilities!

Here's another part of the theory that can be linked to the Order of the White Lotus. What type of table is Pai Sho played on? A circle. Hence the word "Pai," which is pretty much a variation of the greek letter for capital P: "Pi." What does pi represent? The circumference of a circle with radius 1. What does one symbolize? One whole. Here are some examples: Unity. Uniform. Monotheism. They all have a prefix of one, but have you noticed that these words are pretty significant? Hm...how does the O.W.L. represent this, though? Well, how is the White Lotus sign arranged? Around the circle or the circumference. If you look at the picture of Iroh and the mysterious White Lotus member, the radius of the table they play on ( Seen here (56K warning)) seems to be 7. 7, though different from 1, is considered (in most theologies and philosophies) wholeness, perfection. Hm....more to ponder about . I'll give you time to absorb all of this in. Ain't the Order of the White Lotus purely awesome? Umm, I might be mistaken here, but I don't think that Pi is the circumference of a circle with a radius of one. Circumfurence= 2PiR That makes the circumference double the value of pi. The AREA of a circle with a radius of one would be pi. Radius= pir^2 But I always thought that pi was just a constant. Sorry. Also, as cool as this theory is, I'm 90 percent certain that the society was named after the secret rebel society in China. It was founded during the Yuan Dynasty to overthrow the Mongols that were ruling. It is still used to refer to any rebellious society in China. The idea of unity and balance aren't really a stretch if you look at the members of the society and what they have done. It's still pretty neat though.
