Owls themselves aren't, and I'm no expert on this stuff either, but I know there are occult groups which take the owl as their symbol because it corresponds to Minerva. If you've ever heard of the bohemian grove, they're linked to that as well I think.
Its probably pretty surface level stuff, and by that I mean rich people larping as wizards or something, so the real threat isn't owl worshippers.

I'm not sure if this is true for Orthodoxy, but in Catholicism if you're tempted and resist it its not sin but virtue. Simply having a thought pop into your head isn't sin, but fully fantasizing without resisting it or acting upon it is.
